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, welcome
to the Kyle Seraphin show. Today is Friday, it is April the
4th, and I appreciate you coming along for a friendly Friday,
which means we're going to have Steve friend, also known as the
real Steve Friend, joining me in just one moment.
Before we do, let's let's kind of get a little taste of what
we're getting into today. Apparently the major issue
across all media platforms, it's tariffs.
It's tariffs. They're everywhere.
They're causing things, they're destroying the stock market or
whatever. We'll get into why that is going
to be maybe a temporary thing. We're going to talk tariffs.
We're going to talk about some of the other things that are
going on. We're going to talk historical
perspectives from people who are losing their ever loving minds
about tariffs. Let's go back to 1996.
We're going to go to 2008. We're going to talk to as
recently as 2018 on people who seem to think that they are the
end of the world that didn't think that previously.
Go figure, People in politics changing their position on
something because now they don't like the orange man bad.
That's what we're going to do. Also, get some job numbers from
March, which are fairly favorable.
It's almost like the narrative going the other way doesn't make
that much sense. RFK is destroying the healthcare
system. Yeah, all of the Sky's falling
positions. And maybe, just maybe, the
solution is because of racism, which may or may not make black
women fat, we should just scrap the constitution.
So that's Friday's piece, kind of a grab bag taste, but it's
going to have an overwhelming theme of we're living in a
ridiculous time. And I've got a great palate
cleanse to be able to send you off into your weekend.
We're going to bring the Steve friend on shortly.
But before we do, let's talk about what's getting me riled up
right now. And it's blackout coffee.
Yeah, I've been telling you about them for, what, maybe a
couple couple months now? You guys told me about blackout
coffee before I even knew. And at this point, if you
haven't tried it, let's break it down.
It's not just another coffee brand.
It's a coffee brand that's built on American hard work, grit,
values that we all kind of share.
Six years ago, the founders of this company started it in their
home garage. Today they are running a 64,000
square foot roasting facility and warehouse.
Every single bean is roasted in house.
It's packed so they can do it themselves.
They have vertically integrated that situation and that they are
employing over 30 hard working Americans.
No corporate nonsense, just damn good coffee made by people who
actually give a damn in my house.
I actually got to do my first today.
All my kids and I have shared a small cup of coffee where they
get a little splash, a little bit of honey and milk at an
incredible young age. My 19 month old sat down and had
a little cup with me today. And when it's still dark
outside, it's kind of a special moment sometimes.
Whether whether a caffeinated toddler is a good idea is
something mom will have to tell me after the show.
Blackout Coffee isn't just making you a great cup of
coffee, they're also supporting the American dream.
They have built up a company the right way.
No shortcuts, no woke nonsense, and no weak beans.

Don't drink the week stuff. Start your day the right way.
All right, let's get into it right now.
All right, And I've got this guy here.
He is sitting there. Good morning, real Steve friend.
Happy Friday to you my friend. Good morning, happy Friday.
Congratulations on your dad victory there.
Did you offer the 19 month old or root beer float with the
Mountain Dew with the the the red charge in it?
And then I don't know. I don't even know what.
You're. Just a chaser and then hand her
off to mom. I don't do that, no.
But you know what's even funnier?
My mother joins us in the mornings a lot of times she
hangs out in the chat and she said they say cheers and she's
exactly right. She's got 2 little hands on the
on the cup. She leans over cheers, she
smacks them together and then she slurps like essentially 98%
milk with a splash of coffee flavoring in it.
So. My younger son always does the
cheers and he always says to the chef, including when it's a take
out. Where did he get this?
Who's the chef normally? You, not you.
I mean unless it involves a boiling water for ramen or
microwave. I mean, I'm your huckleberry
then. OK, fair enough.
Speaking of favorite Val Kilmer movie.
Oh, I mean, you got you got to say Tombstone as a general rule,
as a guy, I was actually impressed.
He played a role once and I, you know, it's killing me.
I can't remember the name of it, where he was a blind man who had
his sight restored. And it was one of these really
interesting ideas where they were trying to put objects in
front of him and he couldn't identify them without touching
them. So they would they would put
like a cheese grater in front of him.
He would say measuring cup because he just couldn't make
the shape. I just always thought that was
like a really unique. First Sight was the name of the
movie. Oh, got me, got me.
Yeah, 1999. Just had a really a lot of
diversity in his catalog and, you know, I think he's, we're
going to be, he'll be missed, that's for sure.
Yeah, I I called him one of the greatest warriors of the Cold
War to Benny Johnson and caught him off guard because why not?
OK, Should we start with like a light hearted take on a few
things? Always.
It's Friday. OK, you're a runner.
You're kind of fat looking, aren't you?
Absolutely. Dad bod intact.
What do you think your what do you think your body fat
percentage is, Steve? Low, low double digits, probably
somewhere in the area of like 8 1/2 percent.
I do, Joe. Biden now, OK, I was going to
say that's single digits. That's, you know what?
I've got Joe Biden math coming up in a minute.
So actually, well, well played there.
We'll just negotiate about what numbers mean.
So OK, so 8:00-ish sub sub double digit body fat.
And do you have fat parents? Fat herb parents.
No no, I want my parents, including at Sue friend in the
chat here on Rumble. Extremely thin fit.
They're just health freaks. OK, so it's a health freak
thing. Do you think it's just genetic
then? No, no, I would encourage
anybody to get up at 4:00 in the morning with me to stretch and
then run for 12 miles and then tell me that it's just my
genetics. It's just your genetics and we
have proof now. Here's a doctor talking on 60
Minutes and you thought it was because you actually went out
and ran. If you did nothing, it would
still be just as good. If you diet, you lose weight,
right? The number one cause of obesity
is genetics. That means if you were born to
parents that have obesity, you have a 50 to 85% likelihood of
having the disease yourself, even with optimal diet,
exercise, sleep management, stress management.
So when people see families that have obesity, the assumption is,
what are they feeding those kids?
Can you debunk that real quick? That's called correlation and
not causation. It's probably because the
parents are teaching the children bad habits and the
parents are in charge of buying the food for them and they're
giving them the Mountain Dew red root beer floats.
As opposed to like the healthy options.
It's pretty simple math. I mean, not Joe Biden math.
Calories out, calories in. If you have a deficit you will
lose weight mathematically. But that's what a racist.
I was just going to say, isn't that kind of racist to say that?
Absolutely. I mean, it, it's, you know, I
think it's actually anti democratic.
It it's it's against our sacred democracy to say that exercise
and healthy eating will inevitably create a calorie
deficit, and ergo your body will have to eat itself in order to
make up that deficit, and you will lose weight.
Yeah, that doesn't check because we're living in the Trump era,
and so whatever you just said doesn't sound right.
When people talk about black women being obese, I hate it
because it becomes a way to blame us for a set of conditions
that we didn't create. We are living in the Trump era
and look, those policies kill our people.
And what public health practitioners think is that our
stress responses in the body change our metabolism.
It's literally that the racism that you're experiencing and the
struggle to make ends meet actually means the diet.
Don't. Work for you the same.
The diet don't work for you the same, but I you know I can't
listen to anything she says because she misuses the word
literally. And as a result, I'm going to
appeal to authority as a pedantic best selling author
jerk and say that it was not written down and I can't take
anything you say after that on its face as being.
She's also a big fat lady sitting next to thin women who
are agreeing with her. I mean, are they now in the
running for the worst people? Are they like the liberal white
women standing behind the liberal white man pretending to
be a woman? No, she's just complaining about
her circumstances. She's not cutting off her kids.
She in the Trump era and as a result of those circumstances,
math don't work because it's racist.
You can't do black voices on my show.
You're going to get us cancelled again.
I love by the way folks don't understand, but I will bait
Steve friend into doing his version of a black woman voice,
which is this. It's not far off.
OK, look. I mean, I, I, I am probably more
ghetto than a discount cardi. BI did not go to a high tuition
private schools. I went to public school in
Georgia and I was an actual minority.
I was the only white guy on the basketball team.
I was the one at the end of the bench who didn't get to play at
all, but I was on the team. That's fair.
Let's start with our our first fun story instead of messing
around here. Speaking of people who scream
into the clouds and impotent rage, this is Judge Bosberg.
The judge is now considering whether or not to hold Trump
officials in contempt for violating his orders on
deportation flights. Steve, Fred, I'd like you to
explain to me the mechanics because I understand the reason
why somebody would hold somebody in contempt.
Explain to me the mechanics of how this plays out IRL versus
how it's going to go in that guy's that that tall bald guy's
head. Well, how it's going to go IRL
is that the Trump administration hopefully will defy the order
and then we will have a message that this is a constitutional
crisis because now that executive branch is not
listening to the most powerful branch, apparently, which is the
judiciary. Which then begs the question,
And I think it would be an interesting political strategy,
not simply just tongue in cheek for a friendly Friday should
Donald Trump resigned the presidency today and then have
JD Vance appoint him to be a District Court judge so he could
be the most powerful man in America.
And then just make decisions that he likes.
Sure, sure. That.
I mean, that comports with what Judge Boazberg is is pushing
forward, right? I heard you float this the other
day on your AMRAD pod and as I listened to it I went.
That is snarky and obviously ridiculous, but it points out
the absurdity that's. The April Fool's esque.
Realpolitik observation. It's it's a reductio ad absurdum
where you basically reduce the argument to its core and most
ridiculous point and you and you destroy it by the fact that
there's no one that would actually believe this sort of
thing. It is a their version of
constitutional crisis though. Because what you're asking
mechanically, right, the judge would have to make this order.
Who would be the ones that would carry it out?
Marshalls. Yes, who are working for the
executive branch. Because they roll up to the DOJ
and the DOJ is run by Pam Bondi. Pam Bondi was hired by Donald
Trump. Donald Trump is the president.
That's all. That's all.
Articles. That's why whenever Congress
holds the Attorney general in contempt, like they did to
Merrick Garland, there was no enforcement of that because the
Department of Justice wasn't going to investigate their boss.
Right. The center of the case is
Trump's implication of the sweeping wartime authority and
actually isn't a sweeping wartime authority.
By the way, have you read the statute?
Have you looked into the Alien Enemies Act and like just read
the plain words. A little bit.
I've mostly relied on Stephen Miller, which I think is pretty
close to what the letter of the law is though.
Yeah, it's almost spot on, but it's predatory invasion.
It doesn't require a declaration of war.
It's an it's an or statement. Do you like the the the
delineation in in legal terms is really specific.
It's and means both conditions have to be met or means either.
And in effect, he he makes a really good analogy of the
president as a commander in chief has ultimate authority
over the military and couldn't command troops into battle to
actually go through tactical motions, right.
So a judge therefore can't rule in on the president making
decisions for we're going to take the left flank over here
because that's completely within the purview of the chief
executive, the commander in chief.
So what if the judge here is intruding on the Alien Enemies
Act, which is solely at the discretion of the president?
It's no different than the judge saying, well, I'm going to
actually control the troop movements.
I'm going to say what you're doing, I'm going to put an
injunction on that, a universal injunction on whether or not you
can drop a a Moab on our enemy. Goofy enough, there's actually,
there's actually an entire section under 50 USC 23.
So it's Chapter 3, section 23, the, it actually delineates what
the judges can adjudicate and what they can't.
And it's, it's, it actually states it's only the legality of
the of the law itself. Like they just don't have the
ability to enforce any of the other pieces.
Anyway, I like the contempt order.
I like the idea of judges getting hit with sort of
impotent rage. It's like screaming racism about
being fat. You can say it.
This, this guy is getting an incredibly large percentage of
these cases being brought to him.
And theoretically in this jurisdiction, there's 15 judges.
I mean, they're all communists. So I think one of them is
actually named Sparkle, which should be fun.
Whoa. But he seems to get an
inordinate amount, a disproportional amount seemed to
fall in his lap, including things like in the past where
came to sentencing Kevin Kleinsmith, right?
I think he was actually responsible for the FISA
warrants against Donald Trump. He's been around for a long
time. And look, impeaching him is just
kind of a fool's errand. It would take years and
political capital that's just not worth doing.
You would never get 67 senators to do it.
But how? Of course, we could have the
House say that this is a lesser court and we could defund it.
But of course, then we have to have arguments about whether or
not women are allowed to Zoom vote in Congress instead of
actually addressing important things because it's a ridiculous
theater here at the the federal level of government.
You want to kind of have a a moment of uniparty.
He was originally appointed to any federal bench that was going
to be the Superior Court in DC, which is essentially like a like
a local court for people that don't understand how DC courts
work. It's worth pointing out this is
the reason why the J Sixers got screwed so badly because they
went to they went to District Court instead of Superior Court.
Superior courts like getting charged for a local crime.
So you have ADA and so on in DC, because it's a federal
jurisdiction. You've got both of them are
federal. So the same the federal
prosecutor can choose either to charge you at a local level or
to an upper level. And so he was originally put
into the bench in the Superior Court, lower George W Bush, and
then elevated to the DC Circuit by Barack Obama.
And as you said. He's been there since no one.
Was able to drink cocktails at enough Federalist Society
parties because these guys are institutionalists.
Like that's what John Roberts is ultimately people can say, oh,
he's a he's a Republican appointee.
Oh, he's really a secret communist.
He believes in the authority of the court and whatever decision
has to come down from him to preserve what he's got and
preserve in the eyes of the American people that the Supreme
Court and the judiciary in general is the ultimate
authority on things. That's what he's going to push
forward. It's always the same thing goes
back to the originally what the that the founding fathers
established. They wanted and hoped that there
was going to be interests in these three branches of
government that worked against each other, that kept each other
in check. But unfortunately, as it
particularly comes to Article 1, the legislative authority, they
came to the realization that we can outsource all of our duties
and responsibilities and then shrug our shoulders and say,
look, we can't really do anything about it.
You can't really blame me for it, except you can reelect me.
That'd be great. And you can get lots of content.
Then I'll give you lots of cable news hits, or maybe I'll start a
podcast, or I'll have a Twitter account.
You know what's funny I saw this morning?
Chuck Grassley said that he really needs to have the the
Restriction of Federal Judges Act that he's put out there.
That needs to be passed. By the way, Chuck Grassley
tweets without any punctuation. And I can't decide whether it's
actually Chuck Grassley sitting in there with his 91 year old
fingers typing into a phone or on a keyboard, or whether it's
an intern pretending to be him and just not using punctuation
to make it look like he doesn't know how to use a keyboard.
Either way, I don't like it. Chuck Grassley was elected to be
a representative of the people in Congress when our Vice
President was negative nine years old.
The 1975 was when he first. Went to Congress.
He was around during the first FDR administration.
He was actually in government at the state level before my mother
was born. But he's sharp as a tack, which
everybody says that you have to give to anybody who is too old
to be in office. Yeah, what's funny is he almost
was in office long enough to have dealt with the original
Administrative Procedures Act, which is in fact the real
problem, right, 1946 so. He was old enough to at least
have an opinion on it. Yeah, yeah, I know he was
totally alive and could have been actually reading the
newspaper articles talking about how Congress gave away their
power to the executive branch. That's the funniest thing.
They want to claw back little pieces of it that they've given
away to the judiciary. But the biggest piece of power
that Congress gave away happened with the APA.
If you guys don't know about that, there's plenty of podcasts
we've done about it. We'll bring it back up another
time. But very wild to see this guy,
like, trying to make this argument and it doesn't.
It doesn't ring true to me. How about this argument, far
right, actually, I, I want to see this.
Let's put it on the screen. National Security Council
staffers were fired. This is related to Signalgate
supposedly, or this is at least in the same thread of
Signalgate. We're fired because Donald Trump
met with quote UN quote, far right activist Laura Loomer by
sources, which Trump, by the way, he, he debunked this.
He was like, Nah, I talked to her.
Sometimes I like what she says, sometimes I don't.
You can imagine that's true. What is the spectrum look like
though of far right, right, center, right, center, center,
left, left? And who is far left per this is
CBSCNN reported the same way. Can you give me what the
spectrum looks like? I don't believe that they would
ever characterize anyone as far left.
That's just a left-leaning, moderate, reasonable voice in
the room right. Anybody to the right of that,
including like a Scott Jennings who was an advisor to Glitch
McConnell, is a far right bordering on fascist, possibly a
sycophant of the Orange, literally Hitler, who is in
effect a Democrat from New York from the 1990s.
Right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, so, so we're on the same
page here. So 3 staffers, CBS covered the
story and said that they were, they weren't just fired, they
were purged. I also find language very
interesting. You remember Jim Jordan talking
about ideological purges? There's a, there's an article
that came out and this is just, it was in my extra hopper of
things. ACOACLU is suing the National
Institute of Health right now for a quote UN quote ideological
purge. I feel like they've stolen our
language that they've Co opted it into trying to get people
behind them. Maybe they saw some success in
in moving the ball forward. They have a lawsuit saying that
670 research grants were cancelled, $1.1 billion in
funding not going to be given out to people that we don't
like, and it's an ideological purge.
What do you make of that word, out of curiosity?
Just pinging it against you for the first time.
I mean, it's a loaded language situation.
It's like using the word extremist.
I mean, because it has those negative connotations on nobody
wants to be an extremist. Nobody wants to get it at 4:00
in the morning and run 12 miles. That's extreme.
I'm you're probably an experience to do that just.
To be to be 100% fair with you, that is.
Comfortable with that. I'm comfortable in my own skin
because there's not a lot of body fat there.
Between that and my. In the skin, yeah.
There's nothing there protecting you from the cold.
Purge, though, is similarly loaded, right?
I mean, you're just firing people who are not on board with
the mission. I mean, that's a completely
reasonable thing to do if you're in a private sector business.
I mean, if you come in and take over a company and somebody
says, you know, I'm not on board what you want, OK, then we're
just going to have to part ways with you.
And that's reasonable. But Purge makes it sound like
it's it's something nefarious afoot here.
And it's also based on the presupposition that those people
are entitled to that job, that it's not in fact doing a job
that's worth doing. They don't care about that, it's
just that they have it, and ergo they must always have it until
they won't want anymore. And at that point then we just
pay them a pension for the rest of their life.
Little sidebar here because it occurred to me, the ideological
purge, that was something we talked about going on inside the
FBI, That was the danger of it. It's like if you weren't on
board and there is a quote UN quote entitlement to your job,
at least that we're told that that and unless you're on the
wrong side of the administration, and then if
you're also the next administration doesn't have the
balls to go through and do it. We made an announcement.
This is the week of April Fools. So that was that feels like it
was 1000 years ago already, but it was only four or five days
ago I announced that you and Gerardo Boyle had been rehired
into the FBI with full back pay and benefits and had been made
whole and we're now promoted. How many people did we fool out
of curiosity? And what do you think that
meant? I I think that it meant that you
got. Captured let me let me let me
take full responsibility. You didn't fool anybody that
wasn't your doing. I do that.
I do these things completely without anybody elses
permission. I just send things out there in
the world. I.
Think I was not aware that you had done this until I got a
phone call from Alan Fiore at the New York Times.
Tell me more. So you captured the true spirit
of what makes a good April Fools, mostly April Fools is, is
like horrible because it's always the worst people playing
the worst jokes. They're saying like, guess what,
your mom died, ha ha, April Fools.
Like, that's not funny, man. But you captured what the true
spirit is. And you pointed out something
that is completely believable, perhaps should be a, a true
thing. And ergo, people wanted to
believe it because there's a lot of hopium out there, especially
in the 1st 100 days of the new Trump administration and the
absurdity of the fact that Gerardo Boyle is still 2 1/2
years unpaid, suspended. It would make a lot of sense to
you to snap your fingers, stroke of a pen and put that guy back
on the payroll. And now we were able to fool
people like like Miranda Devine reached out to me from the New
York Post. I mean, she, she didn't say
anything publicly. She just wanted to confirm it.
Alan fewer. I mean, I don't really, I'm not
really a fan of the New York Times or Alan particularly, but
he reached out to me directly because he wanted to confirm it
because that's what journalists are supposed to do.
But we had other people online who were just right away giving
us the thumbs up and America flag, right.
You had, I think Shelley Ellenberger did, I think Project
Veritas did. And there's some prominent
people who were really excited and other people, Michael.
Flynn, Mike Flynn said OK, now we got them in.
Now we got to do more. We got to get Robin Griz back.
And it's like, dude, let's check the calendar, homie, come on,
General I. Have the ability to directly
contact Mike Flynn. And I just thought, you know, a
couple of days had passed and I hope that it got into his ears.
I didn't want to like, rub in the fact that he'd made that
mistake, particularly because his reputation as being like
this intelligence expert. Hey, everybody can be
susceptible to an OP. That's how it works.
Especially, as you said, the the biggest pieces is when you know
that the thing that you're saying is plausible and should
be probable. That was kind of the fun for me.
Can we combine that with you? You had a, an online posting
about Randy Fine that the newly elected congressman from
District 6 here in Florida and there was a push back that who's
going to run against him. And you said that Steve runs
more miles than Randy Fine does. So he'd be a good.
I said you run more miles in a week than he's run in his life
and I and I'm going to stand by that.
And it's probably accurate, but then I I shared with you a
Forrest Gump, if knowing that it was just you giving me a hard
time for running too many miles. But people read into that that
that was me announcing that I was running for office.
I know, but it was literally it's it's, it was literally
Forrest Gump running with the words I was running, which I do
love a good Forrest Gump run, but.
He's up there with Val Kilmer, Tom Hanks.
You want to do. A flat top, Steve, you ought to
do a flat top. Can I talk you into getting a
little bit tighter on the side flat top?
Give me the in honor of Val Kilmer, let's do it for a month.
Let's let's declare the month of April for you to be flat top
April and just it might be more aerodynamic too.
I don't, I don't know what. There's probably an.
Advantage give me those ping pong skills with like where I
could translate to pickleball where my my wife and eldest son
continue to dominate me and my younger son.
Like I might do it just because I'm not competitive.
This is not it. OK, this is where you're heading
then if you're getting dominated by your family on pickleball,
We, we. So here's here's where I was
going with this Laura Loomer, far right activist, allegedly I
think. So here's The funny thing about
Laura. She's a dog with a bone when she
finds something and she's right sometimes.
She's wrong sometimes, like everybody.
And I, I have no problem with her meeting with Trump.
I have no problem with her making a recommendation.
And if that recommendation actually held true, Trump's got
a lot of good people around him right now, smart people.
He's making far less mistakes, I think.
So that's good if if she is the version of far right, right.
I wanted to go find someone that I would consider far left.
I don't really care what the media does.
And so I found this guy. He's all the things.
He's fat because of racism. He's dumb because she can't help
it, because his ideas are bad. And so you tell me if this
constitutes far left. This is on The Breakfast Club.
This is Eli Mistel. Brilliant.
Making his recommendations for a legal system where we just
ignore the Constitution because why not?
The Constitution is old and stupid and made by white men.
You ready? He said that.
South Africa got over apartheid. Did they just go back to their
Afrikaner? Racist constitution be like, oh,
we just need a couple of amendments.
We just need a couple of changes here to make it work.
No, they threw the whole thing out and started again, this time
asking everybody, this time having a completely new
delegation of all of the people of South Africa, not just the
white folks, but not no white folks.
And they came up with a new constitution.
It's one of the reasons why the South African Constitution is
generally thought of as one of the best constitutions in the
world. And ours continues to be a piece
of crap. So what laws would you kick out
immediately? What laws are you saying it
needs to get the fuck out of you?
Yeah. So the first one I have in my
book is that I want to eliminate every single voter registration
law. All of them.
Yeah, that's retarded. And so is that guy.
We're going to talk about something that's not patriot
coolers. My friends over there who
actually don't think America sucks, yeah, they think it's
actually pretty awesome and they put it on every one of their
cups. If you guys want to get one of
these, it's the 19 oz coffee mug.
Fits great in your coffee holder.
It's the ones that they that I've been using.
I've got one for me, one for the wife.
We take them to church every Sunday.
That's the only time we're in the car at the same time.
Patriot coolers.com is the website.
Kyle is the promo code. Save yourself 10%.
My bet is is that Steve friend probably also has one sitting
right next to him. Hold on, stand by, put him on
the screen. Steve, go ahead.
Just just whip it out. There it is.
Boom, got. My OD and then my the dash
suspendable sticker from our friend Garreto Boyle.
That is the that's the 30 oz. They got great lids, they've got
great products. They keep ice cold, they keep
hot beverages hot, sometimes too hot to drink until after church.
You got to wait an hour or two because they don't cool down at
a normal rate. And if you guys want to go ahead
and support our sponsors and support us, check out Patriot
coolers.com. Longest sponsor with our
program. Good people, good folks.
We're going to try to get like some some footage inside of
their inside of their facility. Sometime they laser etch all
those things domestically, but maybe things might go a little
bit more expensive. Why would that be?
Because we're going to do tariff, tariff, tariff pretty
soon, but not before we talk about signal gate one more time.
One more time. Trump administration said they
put it to bed. And this is the headline, Steve.
The Pentagon inspector general's going to investigate Pete
Hegseth's role in the signal chat leak.
What is our experience with inspectors general?
Do you have a pretty prominent will they will they find
wrongdoing you think? The government will investigate
the government and determine that the government didn't do
anything wrong, and if you know if they did do something wrong,
they don't have the authority to make them change it.
What will they? Who would they recommend
prosecution of this government to?
The Department of Justice controlled by the government.
This sounds like a constitutional crisis.
Maybe we should throw out every law before 1965.
Which would include women's suffrage, which discount Don
King was talking about on The View when he's pumping out his
book. Also the 13th Amendment.
So I guess he'd be in favor of slavery.
And then he he cited South Africa as having the best
country because it didn't involve white people in there.
And South Africa is generally considered to be kind of in a, a
race war right now. And he could export himself
there anytime he wants to experience that because
According to him, our country is a a piece of crap that allows
him to speak freely his really awful ideas.
He doesn't look like he's suffering based on that that
big. Body, he's hungry either.
No, he might be, though if he moves to a place that doesn't,
it doesn't allow just spewing forth of ridiculous ideas to
generate significant amounts of wealth.
You mean like taking farms away from people because of the
pigment and their skin and giving it to people who don't
know how to farm? What could possibly go wrong?
Nothing could go wrong. Let's do one more story before
we do tariffs, because why not? And this one, this is kind of
fun little coverage. RFK Junior, we always knew he
was going to catch a little bit of Flack.
So he says that they needed to to lay off HHS people because
Americans are getting sicker, which means HHS didn't do a good
job. And NBC says that he's weakening
America's childhood vaccine system.
This is the coverage that we've getting, we're getting on RFK
Junior right now. This I had to try to fight
anything else. The reason I tell you this is
because basically 90% of all the websites are just tariff
meltdowns. It's all it's, it's like China,
34%. That's why tariffs are in the
background over the top of our own background.
It's just tariffs everywhere. There's if I type in tariffs
into the image search, it shows a a dozen different versions of
shipping containers and they are all covered with some version of
a tariff tape or like scare tactic like it's a crime scene.
It's not like a version of economic theory, right or wrong,
that's been employed for hundreds of years.
Yeah, No, no, no, it's not like that.
It's just like it's the end of the world.
Kind of interesting we're hearing that the the layoffs at
HHS with 10,000 people laid off, they were AHHS wide bloodbath.
So that's even I think what if we were going to do that?
We did the left right continuum. What is the the extreme of
getting fired with purge being at somewhere and then bloodbath
where? Where would you put these things
on the on the scale? Well it depends who's doing the
firing right? Like if they are ending your
employment and you are a FBI whistleblower, then you were
probably a traitor of the country, Stacey Plaskett.
So that's justifiable because you're just a self anointed or
self-described whistleblower. There's no legal protections.
But if you are a feckless government bureaucrat working
for an institution that necessitates a movement within
the country that went by the moniker Make America Healthy
again, indicating that America is not as healthy as it once
was, and you failed in that role as a steward of the government
in overseeing the health of the nation, that would be a
constitutional crisis, right? The, the Conservative estimates
are that 8000 people in the DoD were removed because of the
vaccine mandate specifically. That doesn't count anybody that
got disciplinary actions and they were removed then they
couldn't directly tie it to the same thing.
And then of course there were 10s of thousands of people who
self identified and walked away. And we interviewed Cameron Smith
and we had Johnny Franks on before.
So this is not like a. Not a threat to national
security at all to lose. No, not at all.
I heard. I heard that if you get rid of
people's jobs that they might might go to the enemy and sell
that information when they were sensitive.
Clearance holders, can we zero in on that for one second?
How? Much as you want.
Could somebody other than our friend Garreto Boyle is it?
Is there anybody who's a better example who could feel a level
of betrayal from their federal government that might actually
justify them saying, you know what, this country that I have
fought and bled for and watched my friends die for it and my
entire adult life served, did this to me and my family, put us
in such a vulnerable position. The country, I didn't leave the
country, the country left me. I don't necessarily feel like
I've betrayed the country by going over to some nefarious
actor who's offered me some level of compensation.
And Garrett, if you propose that to him, would say, no, that's
treason because I'm still an American.
And nobody else who works for HHS has those level of gripes.
And yet we're told that, you know, they're going to hold the
country hostage here to have their job.
They're not entitled to the job. That's just not worth doing that
we don't want done. And if they do have a job,
they're not even doing a good job at it.
Now they're going to go over to China and give them our nation's
secrets. They could.
That could be the thing. Yes.
No, nobody. Nobody justifies it that has any
sort of meaning. And then I always took it as a
threat. I kept reading it as a threat.
And I don't know, I guess they can't threaten anybody because
what are they going to threaten with the vaccine problem?
They're going to say, you know, kids are going to be sick.
It always comes back to people will die at the end of the day.
People need kidneys. People need kidneys.
It's sad, but but but it's true. What what is that?
What is the I have to remember the line, though, because this
the senator is hoarding one more than she needs, is maybe one of
the great. People look left and right when
they cross the street, but they rarely look up.
They rarely look up. It's such a good everything
about that is a is a really great piece.
OK, I'm going to do a a read for our friends over at my patriots
play. I actually got to talk to the
folks that are running the brand over there and it made me
realize a couple things I didn't know about their their products.
So I'm going to throw them on the screen right now.
Folks, you can go to prepare like kyle.com.
You're going to hear a lot of talk about economic disasters,
the possibility of fresh produce not showing up over the next
little period of time because of these tariffs.
If you want to go ahead and get yourself squared away as a
personal insurance policy. One of the neat things about my
Patriots apply is that they actually are almost completely
vertically integrated. They make their own foods, they
pack their own foods, they ship their own foods.
It basically comes in so they can control every single part of
that that that process and they're going to be less worried
about tariffs. But you never know what's going
to happen in your local grocery stores.
They can go empty overnight. We've seen that happen.
The worst time to prepare is in the aftermath of any disaster.
In fact, I'm reminded of Robert Redford when he's talking to his
secretary in Spy Game and he says, when did Noah build the
Ark for the rain? That's when you do it.
Smart Americans trust my patriot Supply helps them prepare before
crisis and right now they're making it really easy.
This offer goes away, I think after the end of this weekend.
It's actually a really good offer to get into four week
emergency food kit. You're going to get four
additional 72 hour food kits completely free.
You can use them for training, you can use them to stage around
the place, you can use them in a bug out bag, you can use them in
a vehicle and so on. It gives you an idea of what the
food tastes like and how to prepare it and that's a good
idea. You never want to go out and try
a new dance at the prom. It's what one of my shooting
instructors said in the same way, you might want to give
yourself some practice. It's 2000 calories per day.
The food is easy. It is.
It is much more nutritious. They are much more online.
I actually took some notes here and I actually wanted to share
this for you guys. I say actually a few times I
don't want to do that. They use less.
They've actually gone to all natural flavorings.
They're not using any of the fake processors and things like
this because they can actually control it.
What the the reason they started these companies, it turns out
was that people were gouging folks in the prep sphere.
And so my Patriot Supply was an opportunity to offer better
stuff. The thing that sold me though
was cost per calorie and the fact that it's going to actually
last for 25 years that they actually test these things they
go through. They've got all kinds of quality
assurance. It's Peace of Mind.
Like I said, it's your insurance policy.
Prepare like kyle.com. If you guys want to get this
deal, there'll be another deal next month.
It's different, it's more expensive and it's for a much
broader array of food. So if you want to get something
small, a starter pack right now, four week emergency food kit for
free 72 hour food kits prepare like kyle.com.
Check it out. All right, so Steve, we're back
on here talk about this. Should we do tariffs?
I mean, I've been teasing it. I just want to.
Let's get into it. I mean, you have to have put the
crime tape over. This is tariffs, dude.
Listen, Trump's tariffs. What is the article or the
episode entitled Trump's tariffs traumatized trade, right?
Like I just. Nice alliteration.
That was me. That was me doing that.
OK, so Donald Trump's tariffs prompt China to retaliate with
34% tariffs levied on US imports going in there, rare earth
elements, export controls. So they're not going to ship us
the things that we need. They're going to bump up the
price, blah, blah, blah. Trump tariffs, live updates, you
know, whatever the most important news is over at ABC,
they do live updates. NBC does the same thing.
So this is what it looks like. The thing that I found most
interesting about the tariff problem is this. the United
States economy, Oh, it added 228,000 jobs in March, far above
the estimates. They expected 140,000 jobs.
So they almost doubled the expectation.
Almost how things are going the right way later on that it's
probably even more. Yeah, because we've got people
inside the government that are going to push this stuff out.
What is your what has been your overall take?
You've got a wife that works in the import export world.
You want to talk about that a little?
Bit sure, my wife, you know, she works at import export of
fertilizer and she's not a consumer of the day-to-day news
like you and I are. And so sometime around
Liberation Day, she was looking at the prices and was like, what
the heck just happened here? Which I think is going to be the
ultimate challenge for the messaging Look right or wrong
when it comes to tariffs, I'm not going to weigh on it.
After all, I'm not some sort of Nobel laureate economic expert
here on how the tariffs work. We just are all going to have to
wait and see. And the president has that
autonomy to make that decision and we're going to see the
effect of it. I think though, the one element
that people are overlooking is in the instant gratification
culture that we live in. I think it's pretty that there
is going to be short term pain. I don't know if it's going to
extend long term, but there will be short term pain.
And I don't know if they're able to message that because you have
people that are financing their Grubhub right now.
You have the ability to put Grubhub on payments and you're
going to tell them that in the era of bite inflation, prices
are going to go up even more. That might be a tougher pill to
swallow than I think the Trump administration is is
anticipating. Yeah, a lot of people handle
money poorly. I actually had a guy on on X the
other day who's a Canadian, which is kind of funny.
And he and he had this statement to me and he was saying
something snarky. And so I went and looked his
timeline. I'm like, who is this guy?
And his, his second tweet was my wheels are wobbly, my forwards
are about to rust out. I've got 200,000 kilometers on
a, on a 2012 Kia Sportage. And if it goes out, I can't
afford to get a, a new vehicle. I make good money.
I handle money well, but I'm, I'm maxed out on all my credit
cards and, and my, and my credit limits and my credit score goes
down every month and it's like, I don't think you understand how
money works, dude. And then he went out there and
goes, let me just be clear. I pay $1500 a month in housing
insurance. I pay $1600 a month in car
insurance for a used piece of garbage.
And I went like, yeah, no, no, no.
Like you can't afford a car. Some people can't.
In my lifetime, I have not been able to afford a car.
You're. Really bad with numbers.
You probably think the calorie deficit doesn't result in weight
loss because your car. Because I don't speak metric
very well, but I do do round numbers and math.
OK. And I think that's only got
120,000 miles on it and you think the bottom is rusted out?
I don't know what about your car care and maintenance habits are,
but you make really bad decisions.
He also then told me that in Canada they have a 40% tax on
all of their income. And I was like, oh, I think I've
seen the problem. The problem is you live in
Canada. You.
Should probably vote for Fidel Castro's kid again.
You should probably, yeah. Vote for America 51st statehood.
Listen, not everybody can do math, Steve.
Not everybody is blessed with the ability to to keep track of
things, including people that may or may not be in charge of
America's highest office and or at least hold the position.
So here's Joe Biden talking about inflation.
Remember when he entered the the presidency, inflation was about
1%. By the way, that also means that
your money is always losing value.
Even when the government says they're doing a great job of
managing the money supply, your money is still slowly losing its
value, which is. Incredible.
Zero sense that as you evolve and you develop best practices
in industry, you would think that the prices to develop in
the market and to produce goods would come down, ergo the prices
would come down. So we should have deflation
happening, but that's never happened in the history of our
economy. We just don't like it.
Here's Joe Biden talking about how, you know, it's not his
fault that the economy was the way it was.
And then we're going to do the Nobel laureates, as you
mentioned, who really loved his economics plan, which seems to
work out really well. Talking inflation.
The overwhelming consensus is going to pop up a little bit and
then go back down. No one's talking about this
great, great deal. I don't know anybody, including
Larry Summers, who's a friend of mine.
Yeah, who's worried about inflation bringing down.
Inflation was 9% when I came to office, 9%.
OK, well, that sounds good. You know who agreed with Joe
Biden's plans? You'll remember there were a lot
of very famous, brilliant economists that did.
It's the only thing we have to negotiate on amongst ourselves
is the number of low Belt Nobel laureates that actually agreed
with Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda.
Do you have, do you have the number in your head, Steve?
Of Nobel laureates, it's got to be 1700, OK?
It feels high, I don't know how prices right.
Works. I was going to say 51
intelligence officials, but I figured they probably were able
to corral more from the academia.
OK, what I want you to do is actually total up the numbers
that are negotiated between spokespeople for the Biden
administration. Let's see if we get close to 17.
Did you say 1700? Sure.
OK. We're going to see if we get to
1700. We're going to start with 15.
I think we're going to get to just keep adding the teenage
numbers up here. Here we go.
Today, 15 recipients of the Nobel Prize in Economics
released a letter in support of the President's Build Back
Better plan, including four Nobel Prize Prize winners
recently highlighted in an open letter. 717 Excuse me, Nobel
laureates who have conveyed this will help address inflation.
1313 excuse me, 14 Nobel laureates and economics said
it'll actually bring down the cost and we'll reduce the
deficit and it was totally paid for and it's going to reduce
inflation 17. 17 Nobel. Laureates in economics and 15
Nobel laureates in economics released a letter yesterday. 17
Nobel Prize winners in economics have said spontaneously wrote to
me together, and 14 Nobel laureates in economics wrote to
me telling me that it'll also diminish the impact of
inflation. And I told you about the impact
of 17 Nobel laureates saying it's going to decrease
inflation, not increase. And this is from 15 Nobel
laureates in economics. Cool.
Because this agenda, the one I'm talking about mine Nobel, 17
Nobel winners of the economics. I've written a letter just about
3 weeks ago to me affirming that this bill would ease long term
inflationary pressures. 14, I think it was 14.
Nobel laureate economist in, in, in, in, in economics saying this
is going to be what I'm proposing to reduce the the
inflation. OK, I got to 207, but I don't
think we got to 1700. How many, how hard is it to keep
track of one number like that? Well, he said it over and over
again. He changed it in the same speech
made out of pudding, but you know, even before he started to
definitely lose all his faculties.
You're talking about a man who said that it was all about 3
letters. JOBS, Jobs.
Right, that's not what's wrong with that.
I mean 176 Nobel laureates. 176,000 Nancy Pelosi actually
used to like tariffs. Did you know that?
Of course Nancy Pelosi used to be not whatever she is today.
This is back when the the demon that wears the Nancy Pelosi skin
cared more about the outer appearance and it was like less
into vodka. I think this is Nancy Pelosi in
1996, which is still in my memory.
She thought it was a pretty good idea that we protect ourselves
from, you know, China and other countries.
You want to hear how people's position changes?
Trump is a freaking 1990s Democrat.
I'm just going to keep saying it.
At least our vice president wasn't negative years old when
she said it. That's true.
OK, he was still a child though. Enjoy this.
How far does China have to go, how much more repression, how
big a trade deficit and loss of jobs for the American worker,
and how much more dangerous proliferation has to exist
before members of this House of Representatives will say I will
not endorse the status quo? As I mentioned, it's about jobs,
proliferation and human rights. And there are those who say we
shouldn't link human rights and trade and proliferation and
trade. I disagree.
But if we just want to take up this issue on the basis of
economics alone, indeed China should not receive most favored
nation status for several reasons that I'd like to go into
now. I'd like to call the attention
to of our colleagues to this chart on the status quo that the
business community is asking each and every one of you, to
each and every one of us to endorse today.
Right now, we have a $34 billion trade deficit for with China,
the 199995 figure, it will be over $40 billion for 1996.
Since the Tiananmen Square massacre, this figure has
increased 1000% from 3 1/2 billion then to about $34
billion now. In terms of tariffs, I think
it's interesting to note that the average USMFN tariff on
Chinese goods coming into the United States is 2%, whereas the
average Chinese MFM tariff on US goods going into China is 35%.
I didn't hear her teeth clack one time.
I guess that's an age thing. That sounded pretty damn
reasonable to me, Steve friend. It was a coherent, well thought
out debate. And again, like, I'm not a Nobel
laureate, I think we're just gonna have to wait and see how
this plays out. But she certainly articulated
her position, which sounds a lot like the position of a Stephen
Miller in the Trump vegetation right now.
Yeah, a little bit of protectivism.
What about someone who's kind of a communist?
What about the Bernie Sanders? Could he possibly have changed
his position, saying that Donald Trump doesn't care about the
workers? Is that possible?
Yes, but before he was a millionaire, so it was
different. Oh, you think he's got some good
stock options? This would be a great time for
him to have shorted some things or maybe to make an investment
now towards the bottom so he could actually, you know, what
is Nancy Biden? Into right now shorting Did eye
patch McCain do on April Fool's Day?
It's unclear. It's unclear yet, but we'll find
out. There are people that track this
sort of thing. His money 2008.
Turns out he also thinks that tariffs should protect American
workers. Further up what they have said
is that we need to not worry about manufacturing in America
because what we should establish is a policy of unfettered free
trade. We don't need tariffs.
What we need is to allow corporate America the freedom,
the freedom to throw American workers out on the street.
People are making fifteen, 2025 bucks an hour, healthcare,
pensions, throw them out on the street because somehow, Madam
President, we are going to create wealth in America and
good paying. Jobs in America, as we shut down
plants, we move to China. Corporations there pay workers
20-30 cents an hour, and we bring the product back into this
country. And anyone who goes shopping in
a mall knows how difficult it is today to find the product.
Made in America, but that is the philosophy and I have to say in
that regard. Champion and he is honest on
this one. Senator McCain has been
criticized recently for not being the most honest candidate
we have seen in terms of his ads and so forth.
He has been honest on this one. He is the lead advocate of
unfettered free trade. And that's an also important
part of this right wing ideology that it is good for America that
corporations can go to China, bring products back into this
country. What do you think?
That sounds like JD Vance, but definitely not negative.
Years old, maybe, with a slight Vermont nondescript distinct
accent if you just took the transcript.
He's. From new.
York. If you took the transcript from
that and said that JD Vance issued these remarks yesterday,
I think you could probably get more people than you fooled on
April Fools. I agree with you.
Certainly all Democrats are not hypocrites, right?
That wouldn't be the case. I mean, certainly not.
Our politicians are hypocrites. We're we're moving through time.
That was 1996 with Nancy, back when her skin fit properly.
This is Bernie Sanders in 2008. He looks exactly the same as he
does. Today, he's ageless.
Yeah, he's pickled like a crypt keeper, isn't he?
He just doesn't seem to get any worse.
Listen, maybe he's got a portrait somewhere that is aging
while he's not, because he's basically locked on at the same
age for at least the last couple decades.
What about Chuck Schumer? Chuck Schumer?
Big fan of Donald Trump and his tariffs, you think?
Mayor Quimby loves him some Donald Trump.
Loves him. Donald Trump is actually closer
to Donald Trump on this policy in 2018 before his mind was
melted, closer than he was with Bush and Obama on the same
topic. My, not my words.
I'm getting a lot of this stuff from from Maze Moore over on
Acts, who put together an outstanding dig into these
people's historical positions. Here's Chuck Schumer prior to
losing his damn mind. Look, I think the president's
doing the right thing. China has been taking advantage
of us for two, two decades. They're stealing our
intellectual property, which means stealing our good paying
jobs. And I frankly am closer on this
issue, not on many, but on this issue with President Trump than
I was with Presidents Bush or Obama because they did nothing
to tell China off. Now, China, of course, will
respond, but if they know we're strong and we're not going to
back off, they will back off. They have far more to lose than
we do. They have a $300 billion trade
surplus with us. I'm looking out, number one, for
jobs. You know, if General Electric
moves jobs to China, they're not unhappy.
But my New York workers in Schenectady are unhappy.
And so you can't let the international business companies
who don't give a hoot about where their factories are govern
this. You have to do what's good for
the American worker. Is that crazy?
That was that was only like 6 years ago.
Yeah, well, he was only like 70 years old when he said that.
But I mean, it's going to be the exact same argument that you'll
see from the MAGA, right? In the influence space and
social media and even in Congress.
I think you will see basically a complete carbon copy of that
argument from the Republicans now.
What about Republicans that have turned into Never Trumpers
because they got their feelings or their butts hurts you?
Talking about the former governor and UN ambassador, the
governor from South Carolina. I was thinking more along the
lines of the former vice president who is known to to
house flying insects on his head.
This. Vice President furrowed brow
pleated pants. Got it.
He was very upset on April 1st that this was about to come into
effect and yet 2021, I think he was making these comments.
And our president is going to keep fighting for trade deals
that are free and fair and reciprocal and are a win for
Americans in the city and on the farm.
Countries in particular, like China, have been informed that
the days the days of a disproportionate and imbalanced
trade relationship with the United States.
Are coming to an end. So there you go.
And of course, that means that NPR, who obviously loves
farmers, as long as those farmers happen to be transgender
and might want to take hormones and or cut off the genitals,
says that tariffs are going to threaten to upend markets,
including American farmers and the ones that they depend on.
Because a lot of American farmers sell off some of their
crops to other countries. I guess they enjoy the fact that
these things are subsidized by the US government and then
tariffed on the other end to make them competitive.
They that we subsidized them to make them competitive because
the other end they're they're like, Americans are paying for
it on both ends. You know, I don't know, it's
just kind of like where this goes at the end of the day,
we're talking about deficits with major company countries.
The small countries, I think will immediately fall in line
because what are they going to do not have the Americas and the
consumer like? I mean, we saw that with Israel,
which is a complete head scratcher, that Israel, which
pretty much owes its existence to the fact that we're here as
the as the Big Brother and they're completely surrounded.
We give them military aid, we give them actually foreign aid,
a lot of it. And they were tariffing us.
I mean, that to me is kind of a head scratcher that why would
they think for a, you know, that that would be acceptable.
So I think they caved right away.
So that smaller countries definitely will.
We'll see if it shakes out or I think we'll probably even see
some realignment. It'll be a question of does
BRICS hold the line? Is there going to be an EU
merging with China? Well, I mean, they already are,
but are they going to actually be open about it?
And then we're going to have a complete realignment around the
the globe. And look, I'm about America
only. I know you are as well.
They can, they can party, partner with whoever they want.
As long as that we make our country strong, that's fine.
We've got some smart people in the administration.
They seem like they also have a lot of money.
They understand how to move a lot of money.
They kind of have seen certain things out there.
They've got education, You know, the credentialism the left looks
for. This is Caitlin Collins talking
to the Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Besson.
Besson. And he just says, hey, how about
you take a breath? This seems like the best.
He's actually advocating. What do they used to call it the
Bongino rule, right? Like, just like, hey, dude, just
calm down. And he also makes the argument
that the people that have the deficit are actually the
strongest. This actually lands very true to
me. Because if you are the one who's
been benefiting because you're over, you know, sending supplies
into another country and suddenly that becomes more
expensive. The people that were at a
disadvantage to begin with are now they've actually flipped it
on their end. We are the bigger consumer.
So he makes that argument here. He is talking to Caitlin Collins
and he also tells people to just hold their horses, which seems
totally reasonable. Most people are not going to see
this happen right away overnight.
Tell me how this argument lands for you.
And if countries retaliate, which some have said that they
would, some have said they wanted to wait and see what is
the White Houses response going to be to those countries that
the Caitlin one. One of the messages that I'd
like to get out tonight is everybody sit back, take a deep
breath, don't immediately retaliate.
Let's see where this goes. Because if you retaliate, that's
how we get escalation. And then it becomes a
full-fledged trade war in your view?
Not a, not a trade war depends on the country, but you know,
remember that the, the, the history of trade is we are the
deficit country. The deficit country has an
advantage. They are the surplus countries.
The surplus countries traditionally always lose any
kind of a trade escalation. So I, I, as a student of
economic history or a professor of economic history, I devise
against it. So you're essentially saying
that they should not retaliate. I I would say that doing
anything rash would be unwise. That seems pretty reasonable.
He he was articulating to a a liberal white woman from the
suburbs that she needed to calm down.
I mean, and he did so in Hawaii, but she didn't take umbrage with
that. But an easy good point.
I mean, look, it's a. Sophisticated tactic, by the
way, Steve, that's a sophisticated tactic to not get
outrage from a white lady. That is a calm down 1 veteran
move right there newlywed gents. Take some note.
That man has been, yeah, he's had success in this, in this
field. He's an old War Horse.
Truly. But he may, I mean, as an
analogy, I mean, I guess he's articulating that America as the
consumer by and large is the customer walking into a store
and the store says to us, well, we're just going to Jack up our
prices on you. And when we say, well, we have
our money and we're just not going to spend it here.
And that entitles you to a certain level of power.
And from his perspective? Do you know the joke, Steve is
that he's gay? Does that make him?
Is that what? Is that why he's most capable?
Because his spouse could actually physically fight with
him, could actually do real damage.
Because he's never going to encourage his spouse to calm
down and have it end in in a clawing session.
So I had this, I had this funny little moment with one of my
buddies. I was like the problem and the
reason why you see a lot of like sexual deviants on the in the
homosexual community. This is just my take on it and
this she plays well into our, our, our pallet cleanse.
But I was like you it it's not because they're inherently
deviated because there's no there's no brake, no brakes,
right? There's no brakes in the car.
You have two gas pedals. Two accelerators, yes.
Right. You can't fight with other men.
Like if you get into a fight with one of your dude friends,
it can immediately get physical and dangerous, like right away.
And you were sitting there talking to Kayla Collins, who
has been alleged to be a male by some people.
Not me, of course, but our chat was saying I don't trust this
dude. And people think that it's Scott
Pressler. It's not very good. 2 gay guys
pushing themselves forward into sexual deviancy is basically the
same as managers in the FBI. Nobody around the mahogany desk
is willing to say no to the bad idea.
Erico further and further violations of civil liberties
happen. Yeah, yeah.
Two gas pedals, no brake. It's the easiest way for anyone.
Just imagine if you just had a gas pedal and the other option
was pushing the other gas pedal. Like that's what we're talking
about here. I don't know why I think that's
really funny, but I do. Let's see constitutional
violations. Can we do one?
Just the sort of state of affairs in the country.
Remember, everything is good as long as you're on the left hand
side. There is no such thing as far
left. You can only be far right.
These are guys from Abolitionist Rising.
They were trying to speak at the US Capitol outside in the grass,
doing things that I think you're allowed to do unless you have a
message that is not helpful to Capitol Police.
Theoretically, the speaker of the House and the leader of the
Senate should be able to stop. It's the Capitol Police.
But they don't. And they don't seem to care
about the Constitution. Enjoy this little thing.
This bothers me. We're going to talk to we're
going to talk to people from their movement soon.
So this is going to be a soon Saturday.
Sit down. So if we you have more than 30
people, we'll separate them into little pockets.
Hey, chill out, man. I'm just, I'm just, I'm just
trying to work. All right, Everyone's got to
leave the grassy area. Please.
This area is closed. Everyone's here individually, is
that correct? It doesn't matter.
Hey, actually just you're going to get yourself actually just
hey, hey, just just for right now that just go on the other
side of the wall there and the grass is closed for other
reasons. Not for not for your group, not
for our group. No, the the area is closed
today. Oh, so nobody, nobody else is
walking through here. Not today.
You guys are watching that pretty diligently.
School kids that were just here, about 50 of them.
We just got word that is closed because there's other testing
that's going on in the grass. There's testing going on in the
grass. Right now we do have to clue
this area out. I know what it looks like, you
know? No, we do have to.
It's not just what it looks like, it's what it is.
It's what it is. It's not what it is.
It's what it looks like. We do have to clue this area.
Out our banner, our banner says all the people who are for Trump
are great and all the people who are against Trump are great and
we're just not we don't care about anything.
It just says we like popcorn. It's all just that's not the
grass on the other side of the road.
Quicker it'll. Stop.
And do what we're supposed to do as we peacefully assemble as a
group. Lieutenant Johnson.
Lieutenant Johnson would like us to be quiet, but he doesn't have
his bullhorn on. I don't know where it is in the
US code. Thoughts about cops stalking,
stopping people from speaking in the one place that they're
really supposed to be able to go and make their voice?
Sir by the way I see leftist do this shit all the time when I
used to live in DC or LOUDS IDC. This is the arbitrary despotic
abuse of power, IE tyranny defined there and particularly
in egregious when it is outside Congress right on the mall where
it's like the most emblematic area where you're supposed to
exercise your free speech were some of the the most famous
moments of that. You know, you think about like
the MLK speech, the I have a dream speech being right there
in those very spots. And those are good and faithful
servants. Those are members of police
Battalion one O 1. They're just following orders.
I don't think that it was even the Lieutenant, but it's
definitely not the the rank and file bike officers in the US
Capitol Police who were there on their own volition saying, you
know, you know, I don't think you should be out here.
I'm going to infringe on your speech.
They were just being told they use whatever lever you have
arbitrarily to get these particular people off the grass.
And they said, all right, I don't want to risk or jeopardize
my future in this elite and premier law enforcement
organization. So I'll go ahead.
I'm your huckleberry. That was that was a cringy
moment for me there because they're basically glorified
security guards. How about campus police?
They're kind of security guards as well, even though they have
powers to arrest. This happened at a California
University. I think it was UC Davis.
I'm going to be open to being fact checked.
This is a turning point event where Officer Brandon Tatum was
talking or former Officer Brandon Tatum was doing his
thing. He was engaging with people.
Watch the police officers not do anything back.
I'll actually have you call. Play by play by what you see.
Have you seen this video yet? I haven't perfect Steve's going
to call play by play. You're going to hear a bunch of
angry white people come in in a mob and destroy the stuff from a
black man while the cops watch. It doesn't matter whether you're
on the East Coast or the OR the West Coast, as long as you're on
the right side of the political aisle, you get to win and do
whatever the hell you want. It's like transgender people,
right? Like at the bar, you can't look
at porn unless you're then you can do whatever you want.
That's right, ma'am. All right.
Here you go. Ready.
OK, Give me play by play here. So it it looks as though there
is a the giant sign that says all cops are bastards, right?
That's training Tatum in the in the in the Red Hat.
OK, that's Tatum who's standing in the gap and pushing a bike
back from that area as they're now destroying a tent.
He's a big dude. He's much larger than I thought
he was. Oh yeah, look at those cops.
What are they doing? They're just standing there.
They're taking the turning point signs.
Those things all cost a couple 100 bucks each.
Guarantee this is a felony. Like they're allowing the
leftists to do whatever they want and they're just being good
witnesses. I guess that's probably how they
would articulate it, but they're not preventing a damage to
property violation of civil rights, so ergo not doing their
jobs whatsoever. It is interesting to me how all
of these things always happen from the communist left.
Like what is your example of a far right extreme protest turned
into a riot in which there was massive damage to property
outside of January 6th, which you could articulate was maybe a
put up job? Is there one in your memory Go.
No, I mean. But you would struggle to keep
it on one hand in this happening this week from the left.
Right. No, no.
And my thought is this is that This is why people won.
They should continue to be prepared, too.
It doesn't matter who the president is right now.
People who are unhinged are unhinged all the time.
That's just how they operate. They are unhinged people.
And it always starts with property and it ends with
persons. So, and they downplay the
property too. They're saying, well, it's just
things. It's just things.
So. So why are you worried that
we're burning your property? Yeah, I'm just looking at how
big he is. I can't believe that these these
bike toting like ninja masked little pansies decided to step
up to like an actual man and it's only because they
outnumbered him about 18 to one. They outnumber him and he's
still engaged with them, which is and those cops did nothing
amazing. And and there's a sense of
entitlement there. They're no different than the
government workers who feel entitled to have a job.
They are rioters. They're probably paid rioters
who feel entitled to do what they want because there's never
been any repercussions. It's it's like the, the, the,
the reason that so many of these nasty communist leftist women
are out of hand because they've never had to feel the physical
ramifications for being a jerk. Whereas like if you and I were
in some sort of a verbal dispute, like there would be a
line where I wouldn't cross, where I wouldn't insult your
wife because I would know there would be a physical ramification
for that. Whereas a liberal, leftist,
suburban driving, Coexist bumper sticker cul-de-sac living cut my
genitals off the children communist mom would come right
up to you and say say the most vile, vicious things because she
doesn't anticipate there to be a physical consequence.
Steve, this is the line right here.
I'm going to play you the line. What's your name?
Why? What is your name?
Tony. Fuck you, Tony.
What's your name? Thank you.
Fuck you. Thank you.
Fuck you. Fuck you.
And you know what I did last night?
You better not break my mother into this.
You better not. That's the line right there,
Steve. That's where it gets physical
for you, just so you. Know that's where you go, man.
That's where Brandon Tatum might be unleashed.
Oh, fully. Yeah, it has to happen.
All right. Why don't you tell people what
you got coming up on the American Radical podcast
tomorrow? Are you doing anything related
to anything we talked about? Are you doing something else?
We. We're doing something else.
We actually got Amy Nelson. She's going to come on and we're
doing a rare guest appearance. We don't do it very often, but
she had an interesting piece written about her and her family
in the Daily Mail. We highlighted it on the show,
but we always think it's better to get it straight from the
horse's mouth, first hand account.
So a retrospective of her experience and maybe some
updates. Amy Nelson, a real suspendable
who's been facing down for five years now.
The Department of Justice, The FBI, Jeff Bezos in Amazon.

I don't think it's going to work, but it's still a good
song. You're not big a lot big
Christian or kind of country Christian rock fan.
Is that what you told me? I'm not, I'm more into what my
wife is, which is like angry boy music as she characterizes it.
But if it's got a good tune, we will do it.
I I picture your wife, folks, if you don't know Steve's wife's
Ukrainian, I picture her listening to nothing but club
music, like euro techno club music.
I give her a hard time for that every day and I'm like, yeah,
the glow sticks and the she's not, she's like, no, that's not
how it works at all. How very non so ugly American
Yeah, she just likes she'll I call it daddy hug me music.
The really the really angry stuff.
Drowning. Pool and all.
That I mean. Phil Labonte over at Tim.
Tim Pool would probably, yeah, she's he's got a fan in her.
