Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and
American patriot. Prepare to embrace the
uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for
comforting lies. Here is civil liberties
enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI
agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends, welcome
to the Kyle Seraphin show. Today's Wednesday.
It is April the 2nd and I guess, I guess we're done with the
April Fools thing. We did a pretty good job
yesterday. I got to just say I managed to
con slash joke my way past because it was a reasonable
assertation that my buddies would have been reinstated to
the FBI. I managed to pull off Michael
Shellenberger of the public of the public publication, Miranda
Devine of the New York Post. We had Alan Fuhrer of the New
York Times, we had Project Veritas, couple others.
Some of you also fooled into believing the FBI had done the
right thing and brought Gerard to boil back.
So anyway, it's kind of fun. It's always kind of fun to see.
Listen, here's the here's the thing.
I used to actually despise everything about April Fool's
Day. And and then I realized that
there's some value to it. And what it reminds us to do is
not react to the first thing that we read.
That's what it reminds us to do. It reminds us to look deeper, to
stop, be a headline reader, to actually be someone who
expresses a little bit of an interest, who acts like a
skeptic. It seems so simple.
Why are we not doing these things?
We know better. We really do.
I know better. You know better.
April 1st is a good day, at least in the news world, to be
able to look at that and go, yeah, Is that what's going on?
All right, so where are we going to go today?
We lost a fantastic and a wonderful actor, someone that
helped shape my childhood. So we'll talk about that.
Couple of elections happened in Florida that went the way of the
the conservatives. Just kidding.
It went the way of the Republicans.
Not the same thing. And that's what we're going to
be talking about. Lost the Supreme Court election
that Elon Musk was pushing in there.
Their billionaires were more effective than our billionaires
is what it comes down to. So be it A little bit about
homeschooling in Illinois story from Catholic vote that I think
is of value. And the House decided to vote in
violation of the Constitution and change the law.
That is not that's not even up for debate.
It needs an amendment to be able to fix.
So an unconstitutional rule change happening.
That's troubling. Makes us wonder why we need
these people. Also made me think about Saul
Alinsky's role for radicals. So we're going to talk about
weaponizing conservative values to get people who don't
understand what it is to get their emotional reaction to move
towards things that are Republican and or Democrat,
which is the same thing oftentimes, unfortunately.
And as I expressed this morning to somebody that asked me, I'm
conservative. I am not a Republican.
I don't care what the GOP says. I care what people who have
principle says. Which is why, of course, Thomas
Massie tends to agree with what's going on here.
Two things can be true at once. And then a record setting
filibuster against nothing. That's pretty cool.
So Cory Booker losing his mind. Let's go ahead and get started
off with my friends over at Patriot Coolers.
These are the folks that are kicking off.
We're going to get deep into it. I've actually even got an April
Fools joke that I will play you a day late because it came out
after the fact. Here it is though.
Let's start off with my friends over at Patriot Coolers.
It is patriotcoolers.com all spelled out PAT RO Sorry,
RIOTCOOL ers.com man, that was that was not a good thing.
I shouldn't do that one again. Patriotcourse.com the promo code
Kyle KYLEI can always spend a lot of money since I was a
little kid and that'll save you 10%.
They're a great company. They have a great product.
Here is their 19 oz. This is probably maybe their
most functional. It's a 19 oz coffee mug.
It holds way more than it looks like it does.
It fits into the cup holder of your car.
It's got 13 bars on there to remember your flag.
There's fifty stars on the bottom of it.
It lets you know right on the bottom.
It says patriot here on the handle in ghost letters.
Very attractive looking piece. And I didn't know that I wanted
a handle until I had a handle on my my travel cup.
And then I went, Yep, it's actually great.
You can reach over it, snatch it while you're driving your truck
or your minivan, your vehicle of any kind that you are moving
around in, be able to keep your beverage hot for much longer
than you would otherwise, which is nice.
Sometimes too hot spill proof lid.
This one's full of coffee right now and I'll turn it upside down
no problem. I don't mind hearing this.
I'll do it without the hand on it does a great job.
I've actually dropped these things in in airports and
managed to not make a mess of myself.
So get one if you need one. That's a great thing to do.
Let him know we sent you and if you guys want the link to the
Kyle Seraphin show collection, which is the stuff that's over
my shoulder, that's the engraved versions with the suspendables
badges or the flag and so on check them out by all means.
We don't make any additional money on that If you just want,
I think it looks like something nobody else has.
You'll always know which one yours is if you do that.
Let's go ahead and dive into this today.
And I got a little tribute to Val Kilmer.
So Val Kilmer passed away over the over the the the night.
He's an actor. He was 65 years old.
He was suffering from throat cancer.
For those of you who saw the most recent iteration, a Top Gun
movie called Maverick, which was the number two, I don't know
that Top Gun needed a sequel. But I will say this, and this
was the argument I used to make about the Top Gun Francis.
I actually spent like every single day in a week when I was
in high school just watching Top Gun.
I watched it probably 20 * / a period of seven or eight days
because it's it's great. It's the Great American Cold War
era, my childhood type thing. And and Val Kilmer, who was an
absolutely terrible Batman, not for not for his sake, actually,
he said that he hated the Batman suit.
Every kid wants to be Batman, but nobody wants to actually
play Batman. I thought that was pretty good.
The Maverick sequel was pretty good only because it held onto
two things that were really important.
That what looked like kind of homoerotic bond.
I didn't understand it until I actually enlisted the guys that
you train with, the guys that you, that you are preparing to
fight with, that you learn incredibly different skills that
you go get injured with. You're out there in the world
and, and, and, and you're just pushing the envelope and, and
then you're also sort of detoxing.
Some of the most bizarre homoerotic experiences will ever
happened in enlisted men's barracks.
You guys can back me up on that. Feel free to comment with your
favorite weird story. Mine is, is that I had a team
Sergeant who is now a tier one operator.
He works with SEAL Team Six, He works with the the Delta Force
guys and so on. He came out of the Air Force
absolute stud. You would have never guessed it
by looking at him. He's about my build, he's about
my height. All we had were what we called
mediocre genetics when it came to build and height, but we had
that mindset to just focus on word and he would walk around
and do the weirdest things you've ever seen.
He would say goodnight to his picture of his daughter every
night and then have her talk back in a weird sort of little
baby voice, which I didn't understand until I was a father.
And then I got it. It was just loneliness and
missing his kid. Just some of the weird stuff
that was out there. He would eagerly stripped down
naked and walk around through the barracks with his genitals
tucked and pretend to be the guy Buffalo Bill from, from what do
you call that stupid movie from from Silence of the Lamps.
I've actually got a poster on the wall of Silence and Lamps.
Just the weirdest things. And so when you see the
volleyball scenes and Top Gun and you see the guys, like
sitting and having weird, too close conversations in the
locker rooms. Every enlisted man has
experienced that in some way, shape or form.
I challenge you to tell me that you didn't.
And so they captured that moment with Top Gun.
It really was great. But one of the great
performances ever by this guy Val Kilmer was in Tombstone.
Everybody thought that they wanted to go be, you know, be
Wyatt Earp, right? That's if you know who you draw
the gun. You want to be Wyatt Earp.
Nope, not after watching this movie.
Everybody wanted to be Doc Holiday.
Even though Doc Holiday was sick, man, he was freaking cool.
So I got a little tribute to a couple of little great scenes
from from Tombstone, which may be one of the most fun Westerns
that was ever done. And yeah, it's a little bit off
track here, but you know, when you lose one of the icons,
especially of your own childhood, Real genius.
I get it. There was a whole bunch of great
movies the guy did. Here's a little taste of some of
some of the brilliance. A man who playing a a gunfighter
with tuberculosis and he played it so well.
Not me, I'm in my pride. Yeah, you look it.
You must be Ringo. Look, Darlin.
Johnny Ringo. The deadliest pistolier since
Wild Bill, they say. What do you think Darlin should
have? Hate him?
You don't even know him. No, that's true.
But I don't know. There's just something about
him, something around the house. I don't know, reminds me of me.
Great drama, great, great scene of all you know.
Then he goes out and does the draw, but he draws his his
drinking cup, which is a silver cup, which I have something very
similar of as you guys are mentioning in the chat, which I
love. You guys are talking about the
fact that he played all kinds of great roles, including Mad
Madigan from Willow. It's just awesome dude.
Anyway, we got to show the ending of that because why does
everybody love it? I actually have a T-shirt and
then this, this reminded me I was going through my shirts
yesterday. Today I got to get rid of some
stuff, including some of the stuff that I've I've got from
Garrett because he sends me all these suspendable shirts.
I can only wear so many. One of the great lines of all
time is I'm your huckleberry, right?
I'll get a T-shirt that says that.
Here's the scene where that comes from.
So be the end of our little tribute to it.
But Val Kilmer passing away. It's a sad moment.
I'm I'm glad that he's no longer in pain and that he's at peace.
And I guess we can pray for the repose of his soul as well.
And remember his great catalogue.
One of the great moments in at least my childhood and cinema
history here Game. We never got to finish Play for
Blood, remember? I was just fooling about.
I wasn't. And this time, legal.
All right, Lunger, let's do it. Say win.
Come on, come on.
Come on, Johnny, come on. You're no Daisy.
At all.
I don't know who wrote that, but it's so good.
You're no Daisy at all. I'm your huckleberry.
What kind of nonsense is that stuff?
It's so good. And it's so threatening too,
because if anybody said that to you and they were that good,
they were that fast with a gun, you know, you just, you just
want to be part of it. All right, so that's, those are
heroes. How about dummies?
Let's do a little bit about dummies.
I can't help it. Some of the dumbest things
happened yesterday in both the Senate and in the House.
Number one, in the House. We'll get to that in a moment.
But they decided that they don't care about what the Constitution
says. I'll show you why I mean that.
And then how about Cory Booker? Cory Booker decided that he was
going to go on a marathon. He set the record for the
longest filibuster. And if you know what a
filibuster is, if you follow politics at all, you understand
that senators used to get up and do these long performative
speeches where they would try to block legislation being voted on
because they were not going to be interrupted while they were
doing the speech and the debate part of what goes on.
So they would spit out all kinds of nonsense.
People would bring the phone book and read it.
They would read from the Bible. They would find their favorite
novels. They would bring in all kinds of
things. Cory Booker was out doing a
filibuster about nothing. Yep, and.
This was about 20 hours into it. He did it for 25 plus hours or
25 hours and change about nothing.
There was no he wasn't blocking any legislation.
Nobody knows why. We'll have a commentary on that
in a second. Here he is passionately talking
to nobody about nothing at like 7:00 last night.
To call to the conscience of this nation, say I will not
stand for another American to lose their healthcare for a
billionaire. I will not stand for another
veteran who's dedicated to stopping the suicide of other
veterans to lose their job. I won't stand for the air
quality in my community to make worse because they're letting
polluters pollute more. I won't stand for the collective
assaults on the Constitution by a man who even the highest judge
in our land, a Republican appointed judge, said stop
threatening and bullying other branches of government.
When is it going to be enough? My voice is inadequate.
My efforts today are inadequate to stop what they're trying to
do. But we the people are powerful.
We are strong. We have changed history.
We have bent the arc of the moral universe.
And now is that moral moment again.
It's the moral moment again. God Bless America.
We need you now. God Bless America.
If you love her, if you love your neighbor, if you love this
country, show your love. Stop them from doing what
they're trying to doing for almost 20 hours.
We have laid out what they're trying to do 20 hours.
I could, I, I want to stand more and I will.
But I'm begging people, don't let this be another normal day
in America. Please God, Please God, don't
let them take Medicaid away from 10/20/30 or 40 million Americans
who desperately need it. Yeah, that's just not it.
You know, He's no Daisy at all, is he?
Look, politics, they always say that it's show business for ugly
people. Cory Booker's not the ugliest
person out there. He's also not talented enough to
make it in a real acting sphere. So he just does stuff like that.
It's performative. And again, what was the purpose
of that? Nothing.
There was literally nothing he was trying to block.
He's just out talking about no. So what is he trying to do?
Maybe he's trying to capture some of that emotional movement
of the Democrat Party. Maybe he's looking for Senate
leadership positions. It's the only thing that we can
come up with here. Scott Jennings talking about it
on CNN, doing analysis. Like, what do you think?
And he's just like, he was out there for a long time.
So good on you. Anybody who's ever done anything
for 24 hours, the psychosis that starts sleeping in or sneaking
in when you haven't slept, that sleep depot crazy.
I've done some really wild things at 202428 hours in to
something intense. Now, I didn't just stand and
talk. Usually mine was incredibly
physical. We did a lot of stuff.
But at some point in time, it becomes dangerous for you to
even to do anything. We did a, we did an extended
training where you're 28 or 30 hours deep and after about 18
hours, they wouldn't let us do some of the aggressive tactics
in the pool underwater because people just drowned and die.
So they would do sort of scary things that would be in your
mind, but not with your body because physically they could
end you. So you'd end up having like glow
sticks tied onto all your, your feet and your hands and then
swimming in the dark underwater for long distances and stuff
like that. So I've done weird things, and
at that level, hallucinations of grandeur kind of sneak in here.
Scott Jennings giving his diagnosis of what we just saw
and why again? Yeah, he's no Daisy.
It is a feat of. Longevity and I just don't, I'm
not sure what the point of it is.
You know, he didn't stop any legislation, he didn't hold up
any nominations. He said it was a moral moment.
So I. Guess.
You know, as a Republican, I infer that he thinks half the
country is immoral. And that kind of messaging to me
is exactly what's been plaguing the Democrats for the last,
certainly in the last election in the last several months.
Is this idea that is hatefulness towards your fellow American
just because they chose a different party or or voted a
different way in our own Harry Hinton reported this morning
that congressional Democrats have a 21% approval rating.
So in some respects, there's nowhere to go but up.
And Cory Booker, I think, is trying to fill a vacuum.
There's no real leadership nationally.
The Democratic Party, obviously, they don't have any confidence
in Schumer. They've had a lot of radical
voices out there who are trying to take control of the party.
So maybe this was an attempt by him to try to, you know, wrest
control of, of the, at least the, you know, the spiritual
leadership of the National Party.
I don't know if it'll work. Let's just That's my favorite.
My favorite is when people try to disagree by making guttural
noises. Is that really what's going on
there? They're just, they're just so
lost. They have no leadership that
there's somebody who's got to step into the void.
And that means speaking erratically and sort of crazy
for 25 hours. I guess that's a possibility.
He's he's referencing that that CNN poll that came out the other
day or Quinnipiac poll rather showing how low people think or
how little people think of not just Democrats as a party, but
also Democrats in Congress specifically.
So of course the Republicans are capitalizing on this right
here's here's the quick little polling so we can kind of make
sure that we're on the same page here. 21% approval rating and a
ton, 2/3 of people disapproving. One holy Toledo voters, views of
the Democrats in Congress among all voters disapprove, 68%.
And look at the approve number, just 21%, even lower than the
Democratic Party at large. This is the lowest on record for
Democrats according to Quinnipiac University polling.
You think these numbers have been?
Let's go to this side of the screen.
We'll look how Democratic voters feel.
Get this, the plurality of Democratic voters disapprove of
Democrats in Congress at 49% and just 40% approve.
Horrible, horrible, horrible. Oh, my goodness gracious.
You just can't get worse than these numbers.
I mean, you can you can just keep going downward.
They're going to keep doing that if they keep talking.
So of course, Republicans decided to strike on this.
You've got Randy Fine who won Florida seat number six in the
special election that happened yesterday, A very narrow
majority. That was like a 30 plus point
red district that I guess he he squeaked out at the end of the
day. CNN reporting that as well.
So I'm kind of dancing between ABC and CNN here.
A ton of money was spent there, an absolute ton.
That should have been a very easy and safe seat.
He's replacing Mike Waltz, who took over as the national
security advisor for Donald Trump.
This is as we talked about yesterday.
CBS predicted this as well. It just says, OK, fine, it's
going to get tight because you probably picked a mediocre
candidate. Everybody who who weighs in on
the Florida situation kind of seems to think that Fine is not
a great kid. I've seen some ugly stuff that
he's posted online. I've seen he doesn't seem like
he's going to be an amazing option, but the key was is can
you retain your place in the House?
Can you retain the majority? Is that better than let's say, a
speaker Jeffries, Hakeem Jeffries kind of stepping in who
looks like Cory Booker's kind of less good looking brother.
They're both kind of terrible, aren't they?
In any case, CBS said it, You don't generally see party shifts
when the when the opposition party picks somebody, even in a
heavy red district, that's going to get contentious.
There was a ton of money spent there and it just ends up not
being that big of an issue. So I guess that's good.
So the the majority is maintained and what are they
going to do with it? What are they going to do with
that majority? They're going to vote about
things like changing rules on whether or not we can violate
the Constitution with a concept called a quorum.
This is what that looked like. Mike Johnson explaining what
Republicans are up to when they when they maintain their their
narrow little majority there. Well.
It's a very disappointing result on the floor there A.
Handful of Republicans joined with all the Democrats to take
down a rule that's rarely done. It's very unfortunate.
In this case, 96% of House Republicans voted against proxy
voting because they believe it's unconstitutional and they agreed
that it would open a Pandora's box.
And so that's what we just saw. Let me just make this clear.
That rule being brought down means that we can't have any
further action on the floor this week.
That means we will not be voting on the SAVE Act for election
integrity. We will not be voting on the
rogue judges who are attacking President Trump's agenda.
We, we will not be taking down these terrible Biden policies
with the CRA votes. All that was just wiped off the
table. It's very unfortunate.
We'll regroup and come back and and we'll have to do this again.
Great, Great work. Great work everybody.
You guys killed it. Here's Anna Paulina Luna talking
about what this was going on and and why that's not a great idea.
But of course, she decided to hit yourself to a proposition to
allow remote voting specifically for new moms.
Man, the weaponization of people's pro-life, pro family
beliefs is strong. We're going to do a salt Linski
kind of an analogy here first, but let's go ahead and listen to
her on the on on the floor where she's talking for a.
While we've had the majority and we've had the ability to bring
legislation to the floor on election integrity and also to
call out rogue judges, and yet they chose at this point in time
to tie this discharge petition killer to this rule.
That would also permanently paint me and the members
supporting it. And I would like to also share
that I'm one of the most conservative members of this
body. I'd like to hold up my voting
record to anyone else as not just being anti election
integrity, but also enabling a position that I don't typically
agree with. That in itself, I would say, in
this entire process has been the most disappointing, especially
from among my party. I'm sort of tired of people
saying I'm the most conservative, especially pretty
young women. Yeah, she's pretty.
There's no question about that. There's nothing conservative
about women being in Congress. The end of the day, especially
if you were of reproductive age, because there's a possibility
that you might have a baby. Isn't that just part of the
deal? So here's here's 2 headlines
that CBS has on this. And I think it's quite
interesting. House effort allows remote view
votes for new parents and it survives it, which is a major
defeat for Johnson. So now she's moving against her
party. I don't hate people moving
against the party if it actually stays in line with conservative
values. And they, they made this claim.
It's like, well, she said I'm the most conservative, which is
to say the most constitutional. There's actually she has a 98%
score from Heritage saying she votes with the heritage
positions. That doesn't include this last
vote. The House Tuesday defeated an
effort that would effectively kill a push to allow new parents
to vote remotely around the birth of their child, which is
an embarrassing loss for Mike Johnson. 9 Republicans joined
the all Democrat again all Democrat procedural vote to help
sink it. Johnson called the outcome
disappointing, said that a handful of Democrats joined a
sorry, a handful of Republicans joined the Democrats to take
down a rule. And then you see they have
another story, which I jumped over and it said once challenged
by House Republicans, proxy voting becomes a tool for both
parties. Is there anything more sort of
uniparty than playing that game? Is there?
I want to show you what the actual constitution says, which
is why people like Tom Massey oppose these kind of things in
just a second before we do. Today was one of those days when
sleep was a premium last night and we really needed a little
bit more kick in the butt to get going.
We're potty training a little 1, so my wife is up in the middle
of the night. So I have been telling you guys
about Blackout Coffee for about, I don't know what, three months
now. Four months we've been doing
this. If you haven't tried it yet,
we'll break it down for you. It's just not another cup of
coffee. It's not a coffee brand.
It's one that's built specifically around hard work
and grit and American values. Six years ago, the founders of
that company, Blackout Coffee blackoutcoffee.com slash Kyle,
they started the company in their in their home garage.
Today they got a 64,000 square foot warehouse.
It's roasting every single bean in house.
They are packing every order themselves.
They are employing over 30 hard working Americans.
We'll talk about men and work in a little bit here too.
There's no corporate nonsense. It's just coffee.
It's good coffee. It's made by people who give a
damn. It's one of the things that we
like here. It's one of the few luxury items
that I I sort of allow ourselves.
We were at the grocery store yesterday and everything is
expensive. I basically will spend money on
honey from Texas cream that doesn't suck and and good coffee
like this is pretty much the only thing that we we really
spend money on is is food. We don't have any other luxury.
We don't even spend money on alcohol or or any kind of like
junk. We just don't do it.
You guys are probably in the same boat, especially if you've
been tightening your belts. Blackout coffee isn't just about
making a great cup of coffee about supporting Americans and
the American dream. They built the company right
with no shortcuts, no woke nonsense and no weak beans.
If you believe in hard work, real American values and coffee
that gets you moving, you can make that switch.

Keep the dream alive, keep the American dream alive.
Support real coffee and drink blackout my friends.
OK, so let's do, let's do this one.
I want to talk about the Constitution.
I feel like that's where we should be at here when we talk
about these things. If you're a quote UN quote
conservative, doesn't this Article 1, Section 5 have any
bearing in the conversation? It seems as though it should.
Article 1 lays out how Congress is supposed to operate.
Section 5 is a procedural discussion.
It says each house. So you've got the upper and the
lower house, right, The Senate and the House of
Representatives. She'll be the judge of
elections, returns and qualifications of its own
members, and a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do
business. And here's how you know they
mean. It means in person and not
remote, but a smaller member, A smaller number may adjourn from
day-to-day and may be authorized to compel attendance.
Why would you need attendance if we didn't need to get you in
there from absent members? They may be authorized to compel
attendants of absent members in such a manner and under such
policies or penalties rather as each house may provide.
A quorum means you're physically there.
They jumped the gun. They did all kinds of things.
You cannot change what a quorum means and the physical need for
attendance without a constitutional amendment.
This is crazy stuff and they're using it.
And then you've got guys like Tim Burgett, who who Tim
Birchett, generally speaking, I like what he has to say, but
I've met him in person and I didn't feel like he set any
records for being like the most awesome person ever.
He's like kind of country, kind of like performative country.
He's not Doc Holiday, he's not your huckleberry.
He's just a guy that sometimes gets it right and in this case,
destroys himself by doing something that is
unconstitutional. If you side with this, it's
foolish. And look at the woman of
carrying a baby in this clip who was like rolling out with this
little baby prop. That's disgusting.
I made the point earlier, anybody can be your
congressional representative. Anybody could.
That's a fact. Only one person can be the
mother of a child. Every child you get one mom,
period. And why she wouldn't find
herself at home with her baby and she's out here campaigning
and using this little this child as a political prop.
It's nauseating and disgusting. Here they are walking out the
steps and he sends it back over to to Anna Paulina Luna to to
explain what they did. And she's not even that
articulate on the fly. Hey everybody, Tim Burch.
It's leaving the house for Luna. Tell us what we just did.
We. Just changed the house rules to
allow new parents to vote after the the birth of the child.
Seems pretty reasonable to me. And that's the sweet little baby
right there. Anyway, thank you all for
sending me here. All right, thank you all for
sending me here. That sounds real folksy and
sounds real nice and I'm I'm real happy that you did that.
Except that you guys just decided that you don't care what
the Constitution says, do you? A quorum means in person.
There's no exceptions in there. And here's one of the reasons
they never imagined that they would have women of maternal age
sitting there in the in, in Congress and representing it's
not conservative. I, I get so sick of this.
Like we have like female conservative influencers.
Do you know how many of these people that claim to be
conservative are not married or having babies out of wedlock,
are not even close to the values of things they push?
How many of them do you follow? How many of them are out there
telling you like what it should be like?
Here's what mom should do. Are you a mom?
No, maybe shut it up. Oprah was like, maybe the
original version of this. I remember Bill Burr calling her
out where she's like, it's the hardest job in the world.
It's incredibly hard. I see what it looks like to be a
mom. I can't do it.
It's too hard for me. I can open pickle jars and my
wife can't do it. I can do all the gardening.
I can pull all the weeds. I could physically build a house
and I don't think my wife could do that.
But I can't get up in the morning, deal with my kids after
not sleeping all night and still be kind and loving and make a,
you know, like a nutritious breakfast and, and act like I
didn't just go the whole day without sleep.
It's a superpower. That's what moms are.
You don't need to be in Congress.
Anybody could do that job. So when you have a pretty face
out there masquerading in this way, it makes me sick.
And so I've got on the screen right now the rules for
radicals. This is Saul Alinsky.
You know what it reminded me of? I'm going to break away from
that for a second now that I've thrown it up there, and I'll
come back to it. It reminded me of the temptation
of Christ in the desert. You guys remember this.
We're in the Lenten season right now.
So many people are fixating on this sort of that time of
preparation. If Christ goes into the desert
and he puts himself at a disadvantage, he's 40 days
without eating, I'm sure not sleeping great.
He's on this fast. He's out there preparing himself
for his trials that are coming up and he's tempted by the
devil. The temp, the temptation of the
devil. It always reminds me of
Alinsky's roles for radicals. The first thing the devil does
is offer him, you know what food and he's like, no, no, so, so
bodily temptations. He eventually gets around to the
idea that Jesus is going to defend himself using Scripture,
and the devil uses scripture to tempt him.
In the final thing, throw yourself from the parapet,
right? He offers him food, He offers
him worldly possessions and power, and then he offers him.
Test your God. Throw yourself from the top of
the parapet and let his angels bear you up, because he won't
let you fall lest you dash your foot against the stone.
All of this stuff is very critical because the devil
learns as we move, evil learns. Saul Alinsky's rules for
Radicals are exactly that thing. And if you guys have never seen
it, powers not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks
you have. That's one, right?
Never go outside of the experience of your people.
In other words, play on the emotions and the things that
people that are going to be react.
Go for an emotional reaction. That's what the experience of
your people is. Rule #2 When possible, go
outside the experience of your enemy.
So you're going to appeal to authority that they don't have
#4 This is it. This is where I just see this
going. Make the enemy live up to its
own book of rules. What do conservatives say is so
important? Family.
They think it's important to believe in the Constitution that
we need to support mothers and babies.
Sure. That doesn't mean you get to
have all the jobs, folks. I had a discussion the other day
and it's like kind of a negative interaction with a, with an Air
Force officer, a female. I didn't much like a lot of Air
Force officers. The only ones I got along with,
and I've had this discussion with numerous people who are
both officers and enlisted in other services, Air Force
officers that were not combatants.
That means like combat pilots. I also got along with some
tankers and some other pilots and that after the fact.
So I don't hate any Listen, I don't hate you by default.
I just never had a lot of use from female Air Force officers.
I never did because a lot of them were in administrative
positions and all those people did was make my life shittier
when I was doing really hard things.
They didn't. They didn't add any value to
what I was doing. That's my personal position.
We don't have to agree on that, by the way.
I just was an enlisted guy and I had an experience that was very
specific and it was a male and masculine experience.
I had only men in my units. The stuff that we did, the
training we did, no women on purpose because there was no
value added for them being there.
It wasn't good for them and it wasn't good for us, and that was
the end of the day. You're not entitled to do
everything. When I started hearing about
them doing maternity flight suits while I was in the Air
Force, I was nauseated. Not because women can't do
things that men can do. Sometimes they can, sometimes
they can't. That's not relevant.
The question is, if you have something that is so special and
important, why the hell are you not focusing on doing the thing
that you can do? Because I can't do it.
It turns out almost any man or any specific type of man, there
are plenty of them that went into it.
It's why I have a problem with women in law enforcement.
We had the same issue when we were at the FBI.
I've had this conversation with a bunch of people.
They may not say it publicly because it's not.
It's not well received, but every single female that I
worked with that was in an FBI gun and badge toting position,
they had that job over some man who was more physically
qualified, who was more dangerous, who was more capable
of backing me up in the outside chance that we actually got into
something dangerous. It's just, it's not, it's not a
thing. There's not a woman out there.
There's a small subset of women who physically can and actually
want to do that thing. And it's so small that it's not
relevant. And we're doing the exact same
nonsense, like if we've made an exception now for moms in
Congress in violation of the actual Constitution, which says
right there that you must be in person because that's what a
quorum is, and you can compel attendance as necessary.
If we're going to make that exception, what about the
exception for things like traffic?
What if you just feel sick? What if you just want to hang
out at home and you think that your constituents need you?
Where are we going to draw the line?
We're talking about most of the people that voted for this don't
even know what a woman is. And they weaponized a few
sympathetic members of the Republican side, which are not
conservative voters in this exact case.
They weaponized something against them.
They managed to use their own rules against them.
Alinsky's rule #4 and I'm going to show you that this is not
like unique to Congress. We're seeing the mainstream
media out here crying the exact same pieces.
They are saying, hey, these people that are being deported
from the United States, they have families.
You Republicans care about families, don't you?
You, it's important that families are kept together.
Never mind the fact that these people are violent gang members.
And what's the end result? The end result is just absolute
anarchy, it turns out. Listen to this.
So if you want to see what the like the crazy version of the
left is, how about a crazy looking guy?
His name is Eli Mistel. He's the budget version of Don
King. Yes, you guys know who he is.
He's making the art. The the argument that is that is
strong on the left. It's actually the same argument
that Ben Shapiro made, that there are actually 2
constitutions that function in the United States.
One of them is the constitution under which the American system
was founded, and it has meanings and the words have meanings.
And the other one is a new constitution called the Civil
Rights Act, and that happened in the 1960s.
And this guy says the new constitution is more important,
that all things that are not under the new constitution of
the Civil Rights Act are unconstitutional.
This is an actual serious point of discussion for people on the
political left. They actually believe this,
whether or not they've actually articulated this argument.
This is a truly remarkable little moment of television.
It's on the view Eli missiles, usually on MSNBC.
Terry is talking about what his book says we need to abandon all
things prior to 1965. You guys tell me if this is not
exactly the argument they made, but my.
Premises for the book is that every law passed before the 1965
Voting Rights Act should be presumptively unconstitutional
right But because before the 1965 Voting Rights Act we were
functionally an apartheid country, not everybody who lived
here could vote here. So why should I give a about
some law that some old white man passed?
In the 19. 20s like the Immigration and Nationality Act
when they passed. Our fundamental that's a truly
wild, that is a that is not just radical, that is a revolutionary
claim that we got a new constitution and the old
Constitution is unconstitutional because the new one is better
and it's based on way for it. A moral value system of leftism
that says we are going to go after grievance politics, we're
going to go after race, we're going to go after gender.
We're going to go after, you know, all the things that we
might be able to play on your heart streams because they they
seem nice. This theme of suicidal empathy.
It's been ongoing, is it not? We can't be changing rules
because women, women have babies.
That's been a biological fact forever.
If you plan on having a baby, don't run for Congress.
If you're pregnant and you're getting close to term, you
should resign your seat and let someone else take it.
They just did that because people went in and took other
important jobs, right? Is National Security Advisor an
option to go do? Yeah.
OK, so Mike Waltz went there. What happens?
Does he get to keep a seat? Why can't he vote from proxy?
Why can't he just vote? He's actually already in
Washington. Oh, you can't hold it because
it's a full time gig. Being a mom, a particularly a
nursing mom to a newborn is a full flipping time gig.
This is a little bit more personal than than normal, but
my wife actually stayed in our master suite when our last
daughter was born because we wanted to have that bonding time
to the point where I had to wake up early and I didn't want to
disrupt any of that stuff. I slept like on my own for
months. We had this conversation
yesterday. It's worth sitting there talking
about it. It's like that was the most
important thing that could happen, bonding with those two
people. When you're when there's an
infant, the only person that they need in their life is their
mother. Father has to support mom.
Yeah, sure got it on board. Family has to support mom on
board. Without mom, it's, it's
devastating, which is why all these like surrogate programs
and stuff. We were watching this, this,
this ad popped up on something my wife and I are watching and
it's Paris Hilton. And she was like, I can never
look at her and not see the fact that she had a baby.
And then it's, she said it was a designer baby.
Somebody else carried the baby with her genetic material and it
took her over a month to be able to properly bond with the child.
That child is going to be messed up because that that most
important bond for those few moments when you have no other
choice. Why do we think that?
We are now trying to reduce the number of seconds from the time
of delivery to skin to get in contact.
And now you're going to go and you you're going to have proxy
voting in Congress. Get the out of here, man.
Here's the discussion being done over on this is a Fox clip, but
this is in the White House briefing room.
And this is leftists who are trying to frame the argument.
These are family members here, these gang people.
Everybody has a family at some point in time.
You're responsible if you're a criminal.
And you, by the way, you don't have to be convicted of
criminality to have been involved in criminality.
And if you already broke the law to come to my country, I don't
really give a shit whether or not the court sorted it out.
If the investigation is there and an administrative judge has
adjudicated it, by the way, that's what the Alien Enemies
Act says. There is no requirement for them
to have been tried in a court of law.
There just has to be due process and the due process has to be
fair and balanced and gone across the the the board and the
executive can do it internally. You don't get all the same
rights as a citizen because you're not a citizen.
You don't have a right to be here in the 1st place if you get
booted, tough titties, as they say.
I never say that, but I think it's funny.
All right, here's Carolyn Lovett doing the doing the right thing,
explaining who these people are. You're defending, you've made
the left defend child traffickers.
And I'll show you a couple of things.
There's a profile of five gang members that they want to cry
about. It's crazy.
Just changing subjects for one second.
The administration has expressed a complete confidence in how all
the deportation flights to El Salvador were conducted.
But now that the administration has conceded that there was an
error of one Salvadoran national, will there be any
reviews conducted and does the president express any thoughts
on the one error that was disclosed in court last night?
Well. First of all, the error that you
are referring to was a clerical error.
It was an administrative error. The administration maintains the
position that this individual who was deported to El Salvador
and will not be returning to our country was a member of the
brutal and vicious Ms. 13 gang. That is fact #1 fact #2 We also
have credible intelligence proving that this individual was
involved in human trafficking. In fact #3 this individual was a
member, actually a leader, of the brutal Ms. 13 gang, which
this President has designated as a foreign terrorist
organization. Very simple.
Meet the five alleged gang members that the Donald Trump
administration has sent to the El Salvadorian mega prison.
And that sounds like something to be really hard to get behind,
doesn't it? If you're someone who cares
about family and the picture that they have, leading it off
is a man in a Barber shop and he's cutting hair, he's got a
job illegally, of course, because he doesn't actually have
any right to live here. He has no right to do any of
this stuff. Yeah.
How about this guy? He's getting married.
That's very family like, isn't it?
What's funny is in this picture, and you can't see it because
it's so small, but I ended up covering it up with a headline.
He's got tattoos, like sneaking down on his hands.
In my lifetime, we have seen the growth of regular people having
tattoos. It used to be that it was like
old sailors and criminals had tattoos.
For all of you tattooed people out there, like do whatever you
want. I don't care.
Like, you know, deface your temple as you wish.
It's not a thing that I think is a good investment.
I will never give money to people who are in a homeless
situation that or, or like begging for money.
I will never give money to people like that that also have
tattoos because all you're proving to me is that you've
permanently made bad decisions with your money.
Like I can see them. No resale value whatsoever.
As my father used to say to me, five members of the alleged gang
or five alleged gang members, they say alleged because they
were not criminally convicted of being in a gang, which by the
way, is not actually a criminal act in the United States.
You can be a member of the gang, you just cannot actually engage
in gang related illegal activity.
Very, very simple. Over the last month, the Trump
administration sent over 200 alleged Venezuelan gang members.
Look at what they're majoring in here.
You want to know why the Congress and why Democrats have
a 20% approval rating? It's because they are majoring
in this minor. They are picking the 20%.
They've actually gotten to the 20% in the 8020 balance that
Steve Friend and I've talked about a few times.
This is 200 people that got sent to a prison and they're going to
go and cry about their deportations because they found
a very, very small thing and they think there's sympathy for
this. This is ABC News reporting it.
They are detained in a notorious, notorious mega prison
with a track record of human rights abuses.
No links sorted. No, no citation given.
An official with ICE has acknowledged that many of the
men lack criminal records in the United States, but said that the
lack of specific information about each individual actually
highlights the risk they pose. Actually, do you know what the
rule is in law enforcement? Back me up on this Leos.
We only catch the dumb ones. That's always been the case.
Often times it's very easy to catch foot soldiers and
frontline people that are involved in criminal activity.
Moving up the chain is harder because people as they get
longer in the game end up being smarter and they are harder to
catch. This is a this is a factual
reality of law enforcement. It is much easier to get low
hanging fruit, especially if you're incentivized to not do
long term investigations. That's actually the value the
FBI is supposed to bring to the world.
Law enforcement. Local is supposed to handle the
foot shoulders, the regular traffic, the criminality that
interfaces directly, and then the complex conspiratorial
nature of things that's supposed to be done with long terms
investigations. You usually can't get that with
a police chief or a Sheriff's Department because they don't
have the resources. They're out there running calls
and picking up 911 and doing death investigations and
homicide investigations, and that's as long term as they can
handle. Long, large, like transnational
organized crime or organized crime of any kind, That's what
you have your federal law enforcement resources for.
That's what they actually are, are set up and designed to do.
The FBI, when I was growing up, they were actually famous for
what, taking down the mob. That's long term.
That's not going after mafiosos on the street corner that are
involved in petty criminality or shakedowns or, or some sort of
like extortion racket. No, you want the guys that are
making the order, that are giving out the hits, that are
telling the the wise guys what to go do.
You need to have people. And those people usually don't
have a record. If they do, it's from when they
were younger before they got smarter.
Smart people don't end up actually with lots of
allegations but no convictions. That's the that's the way it's
supposed to work if you do a good job at it, you know, and
we're not talking about people that don't like these gangs.
These are not just a bunch of like thugs wearing tattoos and
wife beaters. Like these are people that have
a lot of money at the high end. There's a ton of money in doing
crazy stuff that that breaks American laws.
The lack of specific information about an individual highlights
the risk they pose. Fact Check.
True. Thank you ice.
And it also demonstrates that they're terrorists with with
regard to whom we have a complete lack profile.
In other words, we don't know who the hell they are.
Enough. That's fine.
I'm fine with this. I'm actually 100% behind these
actions of getting rid of people and I don't care if they send
them to a Salvadorian prison. Don't come to the United States
illegally. Self deport immediately.
Use that CBP Home app. That's now, it used to be the
CBP One app. Get yourself the hell out of my
country. Very easy stuff.
It's not that hard. The families remember they're
going to go and they're going to play on that.
Hearts, dreams, rule #4 the devil used scripture to try to
tempt Christ in the fourth one. Same story here.
You're going to see leftist trying to parade out your family
values. Don't you care about these men's
families? Some of them learned about their
whereabouts only after seeing promotional videos sold by the
El Salvadorian government in the United States government and
they've denied gang affiliation. You know what I found about
criminal family members? They always want to go out there
and tell you the truth. Or maybe that they have a vested
interest in not telling you the truth because they are married
to or they are living with or they have a child who is engaged
in significant illegal activities.
Doesn't, doesn't, doesn't mafia have something to do with
family? And I don't know, like the
family you're already suspect. I mean, does it mean you're
guilty by association? No, it means that I just don't
care what your attorneys and your family members have to say.
I care about evidence. And that had to be presented to
an immigration attorney and a like an administrative judge.
That's how this works. So they do 5 profiles.
I'm not even going to read their names.
This guy was deported to El Salvador under Title 8, March
30th. He was detained in the United
States when he tried to enter the United States illegally
seeking asylum with his partner. Not married, not Family Values,
which was named the partners Yorli, Banal, and Carrette.
They don't even have the same names, not even close.
And they had a one year old baby.
So you came into my country with a lady that you made a baby
into, made a baby with. She can't be a member of
Congress in my book, and she probably shouldn't be here.
And then they separated the family.
Why? Because they weren't a freaking
family. Because we have a definition of
what family means in this country.
It means that you're married and if you want to come to the
United States, sign up for a visa like everybody else.
So anyway, he got deported, allegedly a member of TDA.
The family denies it. The mom says that they're liars
and that she doesn't believe that half of Venezuela is TDA.
Who cares? Half of Venezuela can't come
here either. The end.
His sister said that he he entered to pursue the career in
the United States as a Barber and he doesn't have a criminal
record in Venezuela. And what, what does that have to
do with anything? Again, he has tattoos and so
they said his tattoos resemble gang tattoos, but he but he went
to Barber school. That's what we need more of in
this night. We need so many.
We need barbers to be able to sneak into the United States.
We need to be able to waive our laws simply because we need more
barbers. Pass you're out.
Adios. Another guy, 26 year old, also
Venezuela, seeking asylum. He was caught during a routine
ICE check in last month. He was deported or detained
rather. He has a wife.
She believes her husband is one of the hundreds of Venezuelan
when she doesn't know where he went.
They don't even know if he got deported.
They just think he might have. So they go and do a story about
that. No further information about him
or his asylum case. Kind of funny.
Doesn't have a criminal record in Venezuela.
Again, criminal record is where they're going to hang their hat.
Now guess what? He had a criminal act.
He came to the United States. That's the guy you're actually
seeing on the picture here with his wife.
They got married maybe in the United States.
That looks like AUS wedding, doesn't it?
Must be nice. There's another guy.
This is also funny. They said that he came in and he
surrendered to authorities immediately.
He came in with his brother. He went in front of an
immigration judge. He was given an ankle monitor,
and there were no criminal cases associated with him.
Yeah, except he came in here illegally.
That's the whole point. That's why he was detained by
ICE. He was also going to be a
Barber. He was aspiring to start his
Barber business because that's what we require.
We need as many Venezuelan barbers as possible in the
United States, regardless of what our law say.
And then you've got another guy, which we covered the other day
and and he was supposedly part of an administrative heir.
But you've got you've got Caroline Levitt saying like,
look, you guys are trying to act like this is like some father of
the year. You guys are being fundamentally
dishonest about the situation here.
So let's just be clear. The guy was involved in things
like human trafficking and a bunch of other ugliness.
Why are you defending this dude? They're trying to weaponize
that, the idea of family values because, you know, just because
you father someone doesn't mean that you're a decent father.
And then you said? You'd seen evidence that this
man was a convicted gang member. In what court was he convicted?
And for what? The this individual was an MS13
ringleader. This individual was also engaged
in human trafficking. And I'm glad you brought up this
point again, because I would like to point out that if you
just saw the headline from the insane, failing Atlantic
magazine this morning, you would think this individual was father
of the year living in Maryland, living a peaceful life, when
that couldn't be further from the truth.
They didn't even mention in the title of that article or even in
the first paragraph that this individual is an illegal
criminal who broke our nation's immigration laws.
He is a leader in the brutal Ms. 13 gang, and he is involved in
human trafficking. And now Ms. 13 is a designated
foreign terrorist organization. Foreign terrorists have no legal
protections in the United States of America, and this
administration is going to continue to deport foreign
terrorists and illegal criminals from our nation's interior.
But a? Good, but a judge but a judge,
if you've noticed that the lady said that she said he wasn't a
convicted gang member. They'd make up crimes and they
ask questions that don't have like a real of course he's not a
convicted gang member. What is the what is the crime of
being in a gang? There isn't 1.
So of course he's not going to be a thing that doesn't even
exist. Rule #4 make the enemy live up
to their own rule book. It's happening.
That's what it looks like, right?
They also do #13 there. Pick the target, freeze it,
personalize it, polarize it. You're making this a problem.
You're making it a problem about whether or not women are women
seen as equals. Yeah, but not they're not the
same. You can be of equal value and
not have the same sort of capabilities.
Seriously, go take a pickle jar to any woman, any woman.
There's a very small number of them that could open them when
men can. And I find that kind of like
it's funny to me. It's funny to all of you men.
It's a it's a, it's our special power.
We get to open jars and have better grip strength.
We can do more pull ups. Usually some of us can, you
should be able to. If you can't, men work on that
gut, make yourself lighter. You want to, you want to get
more pull ups, lose a little bit of weight.
You'll find out the answer to all this stuff, by the way, is
the Constitution. And it always was.
This is Tom Massie. I think this is seriously
important. He's talking about something
else all together. He's talking about judicial
problems and the fact that we got these overreaching judges.
But this is the real problem. Stop funding this crap.
Stop crying about things that people are signing into law.
The president signs this stuff into law.
He signs the continuing resolution into law.
Tom Massie, again, being the only voice of sanity that I keep
hearing. And even the people that I
generally like. And I generally like Tim
Burchett. I don't like what he did, and
I'll just call it out because I'm not on a team, on a team
that has principles. It turns out this guy is almost
always aligned with these principles because he seems to
care about the Constitution. Here we go.
We now go to the gentleman from Kentucky, Mr. Massey.
Thank you. Mr. Chairman.
This hearing reminds me of a breakfast I had with Antonin
Scalia. About a dozen of his congressmen
invited him to breakfast, and this was about a decade ago when
Obama was the president and John Boehner was the speaker.
And my colleagues appealed to Scalia and said, what can you
do? You, you need to get involved
here. The courts need to get involved.
Obama's running roughshod over Congress.
And Scalia refused to accept that premise.
He said, no, you, this is not my job to referee fights between
your two branches. My job is as a jurist to decide
if somebody's been harmed and what the remedy is.
And occasionally we interpret the law and the Constitution,
constitutionality of it, he said.
By the way, you're the most powerful branch of government.
I don't know what you're complaining about.
All the tools you need to restore the balance are in the
Constitution. That's right.
One of my colleagues protested that impeachment was just too
hard to pull off, given the threshold in the Senate and the
political backlash. And Scalia's shook, he said.
He said, I'm not talking about impeachment.
You'll have the power of the purse.
You are funding everything you complain about that Obama is
doing. Just quit funding it.
And it was pretty clear message. Now, that was about tension
between a Congress and the executive branch.
And our hearing today is about tension between the judicial
system and the executive branch. But I think it's still the case
that what Scalia said is true. Let me give you an example of
something I'm going to predict is going to happen in the court
soon that I'm not going to have much sympathy for on the
president. So the president recently had a
press conference and said he's going to wind down the
Department of Education. Oh, great, that's my bill.
I've got a one sentence bill that eliminates the Department
of Education. I should be very excited about
this. The problem is much of the
activity that he says he will undertake.
He just signed into law the funding of it a week before we
did a continuing resolution that fully funds every single penny
of the Department of Education. Then a week and the president
signed it. This is as Professor Shaw
pointed out, appropriations bills are laws too.
It's. Theater and even your favorite
guy Trump can can screw it up like this is real simple like
don't sign stuff into law. That's nonsense.
You don't have to compromise on this stuff and Congress should
not if you sign in. Here's a big thing talk about
DOE. You want to know where this all
starts By the way, folks, This is why this is such a big deal.
This is happening in Illinois. This is something from my
friends over at Catholic vote. This was in the loop.
Illinois homeschool bill sparks alarm over parental rights and
state overreach because if they can control the education, if
they can polarize your children against you, then they can.
If they can set the terms under which you're able to educate,
then you get a mass of people that don't know what the Hell's
going on, and they don't know that.
Article 1 explains the most powerful branch and gives all
the powers mostly to Congress. The executive can do nothing
without the money to do it. The judicial branch can't even.
Like they can't even fund. They don't even get paid that
Congress decides not to to allow it and they can disband entire
districts and or the entire federal court circuit outside of
the Supreme Court. They are transient as defined
under Article 3. From time to time the inferior
courts are set up by Congress. Congress is the one that's
actually, it is a superior branch to all the others and
it's supposed to be. And you're usurping it and
you're, you're Larping around with guys doing long speeches
and women telling us that we need to be able to support
mothers by letting them do a job they have no damn business doing
because they can. Anybody could do it.
Illinois homeschool bill, Here it is.
The Homeschool Legal Defense Agency reported that the bill
introduced on March 13th would require parents to submit annual
notice to the state's education authorities.
Really, we have to tell you what we're going to do with our own
children when we are providing for them.
Providing detailed information about their child such as name,
address, and gender identity is required.
F you. It would allow the public
schools to demand portfolios and from home schools at any time.
They could They could demand what was being taught of these
homeschoolers. They could do audits.
Parents who do not comply with the new restrictions could face
truancy charges that could result in imprisonment and or
loss of custody. It's a misguided attempt to
impose unnecessary state mandates on homeschool families
who are already delivering excellent educational outcomes.
Right. Jeez Louise.
So maybe that's the craziest piece I see.
Because then you end up with stuff that goes on where our our
legislators in the states are not doing their jobs either.
It's not just national politics. Here's a guy from Texas talking
about the bill. Look at the size of this
freaking funding package. It's like almost it's 350 to
$400 billion in the Texas State budget and they had 20 hours to
review it. The same bullshit shenanigans
that go on at the at the national level are happening in
every single state, and they're always trying to sneak these
things past the goalies. You're just now starting to see
people recognize that the American people have an attitude
and a taste for the for this whole concept of doge.
Like, tell us what the hell is in it.
And maybe just do one at a time. It's too big for most people to
grasp, and they just shrug it off.
You can't do that anymore, it turns out.
Listen to this. Howard Texans, this is Brian
Harrison here, and this is your budget.
This 1015 pages about $380 billion.
This liberal train wreck was dropped in my inbox 18 hours
ago. 18 hours ago. Nobody in the Texas House has
read this budget, but I can confirm I just was told we are
going to be expected and demanded to vote on this in just
a couple hours. This is an outrage.
Let me tell you what we do know about the budget.
Even though we haven't had a chance to read all of it yet.
We're tearing through it. This is the most liberal,
bloated budget in the history of the state of Texas.
It funds DEI to such a level that it might make Texas the
biggest funder of DEI in America.
It funds transgender ideology in our public schools, our
universities. It it explodes the size of the
bureaucracy, the administrative state, the bureaucrats in the
state of Texas. Well, President Trump is
downsizing the federal government.
OK, Texas, we're about to grow it.
Let me tell you what this budget does not do, because that's
maybe more important. This budget does not put our
state on a path to eliminate property taxes.
Help. I'm not even sure there's any
real property tax relief whatsoever in this budget.
And that's despite the fact we're sitting on $24 billion, a
surplus, they call it, of your money.
This is this is an outrage. This was written in secret.
This was written lawlessly by Democrats, Democrat chairman who
silenced Republicans in violation of the House rules.
This is corruption, ladies and gentlemen, in the state of
Texas. The Texas House is corrupt.
You deserve better. We're going to be fighting
against this budget for freedom and for liberty in the state of
Texas. But I wanted to give you an
update. I wish it was a better one but.
I wish it was a better one, too. That's Brian Harrison.
He's District 10. He's out of Waxahachie in Texas.
So that's Central Texas, just South of Dallas, north of me.
You know, there are conservatives that actually care
about what's going on. They want transparency.
They see that there is, in fact, a market for it.
So it's there. It exists.
We just have to go out there and celebrate these voices.
I'm going to do my best to try to actually elevate some of this
stuff. We'll try to get some of these
folks on to come talk about the principles and the problems in
local government. You know, there's, it's a lot
more glamorous to be on the national spotlight.
But at the end of the day, this should stuff should be be done
internally. If you insulate your state the
way that Florida's been trying to do and some of the other
things, it's not going to matter nearly as much what goes on at
the national level because, you know, for those of us that read
the Bill of Rights, we see Amendment Nine, Amendment 10.
There are things that are left to the states, they are not in
the Constitution at all and they have no authorities to mess with
them and we should see a 10th Amendment revolution.
I'm going to go back to some of the old talking points we used
to have prior to the last election.
It's still relevant. It never stopped.

I do have some comedy for you because we're going to need it.
And some of you carry concealed every day like I do.
And you carry concealed in a position that's called appendix.
That's at the front. Usually it's at the like the the
2:00 part of your waistline, 121130 to 2:00.
That's where you wear it right above where your appendix is on
the right side if you're right-handed.
And this guy took a little play on this for their, they covered
two things there. This is a holster company that
wanted to talk about appendix. Yes, I'm emphasize that on
purpose. The appendix carry and the issue
of printing, which is that people can see your gun
underneath your shirt or your shirt presses against it and it
makes a print of what the gun looks like.
So people know you're armed and you want to avoid that.
They came up with a solution of having a huge and long holster
that might distract people. We're going to do a couple
little pieces of comedy because I just felt like it.
I don't know. Today's the day for that.
This is the appendix holster. If you guys are so interested,
this is Tacticon. They were on Twitter yesterday.
I assume this is one of their their April Fool's jokes.
Do you have a tiny and carry concealed?
You got me. In the world of concealed carry,
one of the biggest issues that we face is printing.
You got the gun, we knew we had to find a solution and now we
have. Introducing the Tatagon IWB
Tactical from the appendix lineup with a minimum 12 inch
chassis and added non slip veins for a small extra fee.
It's the only concealment solution out there that ensures
that nobody thinks you're carrying a firearm because
they'll be too busy looking at your gigantic Dick.
I'm not going to keep playing that.
It's just funny. So he did that.
A couple other things I wanted to do.
One, this was a consideration that's come up because you guys
have heard about these people doing all kinds of goofy
protests. They're burning Tesla's, people
interacting with you on the street.
You remember that at the in the last administration, what we saw
was a lot of people blocking roadways and people are now
starting to once again, in order to resist, step into the
roadways, freeways and so on. If you're driving and you don't
not want to deal with this, this is Mike Pappas and he is the
founder of Dead Air. They're a silencer company that
I own probably, I don't know, like 8 of their suppressors.
I think they make a good product.
Actually, somebody else makes them.
They're a marketing company and they design them.
Mike Pappas is a pretty serious thinker when it comes to this
kind of stuff. This is a go bag idea that he
has, which I'm going to share with you because I just found it
to be actually it's outside the box thinking.
I shared it with a couple of Green Berets.
I shared with a couple of my friends who work in federal law
enforcement. We all agreed that this is a
pretty solid prep plan. Mike Pappas talking about a go
bag. It's going to involve a gas
mask, orange smoke grenades and bear spray.
If those things don't come together for you on how to avoid
a traffic blocking situation where you might have your family
in danger, allow me to start fixing this for you.
Here he is. It's a very short clip.
Enjoy. Go.
Bag. What do you need?
I don't know. You just need those items that
you probably wouldn't normally carry.
You could see in the top I keep a gas mask.
This is the first thing I'm going to go to is if I open this
bag, I'm dawning this immediately.
So this goes on my face next, orange smoke grenades.
Why do I keep smoke grenades? This kits normally for like a
highway situation. If I got stuck on a highway by
like protesters, which is fucking used to be common in
this country, How do you get these guys off the highway?
Dawn the gas mask. You start throwing orange smoke
and then you get out your bear spray.
This is going to paint somebody orange.
They won't notice in orange smoke and I just water them
hippies down with bear spray in the orange smoke and then
they'll realize the smoke is dangerous.
Dangerous. They'll get out of the way and
then I just keep driving and then later I take my gas mask
off and none of this affects me. I don't got no beef with these
people but the reality is like I also got shit to do and I don't
got time to play your games. That is a really, really smart
idea by the way, mixing something that is not dangerous
with something that does actually repel people and making
them think that it's part of it to get them out of there.
I love it. I absolutely love it.
If you guys have never seen what bear spray usually comes out on,
it's usually marked with a yellow and so or a yellow and
orange, so it'll have a same hue.
This is stuff that they could have been doing out in Portland.
I would have actually liked to have had this as an option.
I did have gas masks when I was working in the Bureau when we
were doing surveillance because some of the stuff was coming at
you outside the box thinking get yourself prepared.
I got one last thing here because I just held onto it and
I showed the to my wife. We were cracking up the other
day driving home Chickens. Yeah, if you're a real radical,
if you are straight up interested in family values, if
you're a conservative, then you really want chickens.
All of you do. Some of you have them, some of
you don't live in a place where you can have them.
I currently don't have a place where I can have them, but I
freaking want them and I want them even more after listening
to this one. This is our actual palate
cleanse of the day. Those were kind of like warm ups
to it. Let's end with this.
Chickens are kind of an amazing little creation.
I guess it's proof that God loves us and provides things
that we need. Is that the case?
Seems like it. Enjoy this one if you were a.
Farmer and you'd never heard of a chicken and I explained one to
you. You'd think I was fucking lying.
It's that good. You'd be like, this car cannot
be a real animal. Like if you'd never heard of
one. And let's say like I got sent
round by the Department for Agriculture and I was like, you
should really consider raising chickens.
You go, what's a chicken? I go, well, it's a football made
of meat. It's a meat football, and it
lives in the garden. They'll be like, right, So meat
football lives in the garden. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sorry. There's quite a big thing that I
forgot to mention. Once a day, the meat football
will shit out bonus food every day for free.
And the bonus food it shits out is one of the best foods in the
world on its own. It's delicious.
Salt and pepper, Mix it with flour.
Have a birthday cake. It's high in protein, it's high
in good cholesterol. It's high in vitamin B12.
It's practically a super food. And the farmer would be like,
what? It comes out and I just scrape
it off the farmyard floor. No, it comes in a packet.
Just arrives in a packet. Now I'll be like there's.
No fucking way. You'd be looking for the cash.
That's what I would be doing if I was that farmer.
There's always a catch. There's no such thing as a free
lunch. What's the catch here?
This thing's laying eggs. What is it, like a lizard?
A bird? No, it's a bird.
Well, there you go. It's just going to fly away.
No, I don't think that'll be a problem.
What, does it just not have wings?
No, it has wings, but they're not so much an escape mechanism
as a as a starter. That's how fucked this animal
is. We've bred it for food to the
point where it's main anti predation device is just another
reason to eat it. It's incredible.
We used to be, there's got to be a catch with cows and pigs.
It's the amount you have to feed them to get them up to weight,
right? That's the amount that's that's
a real expense with cows and pigs.
So the farmer would be like, well, what do these things eat?
These miracle animals, chickens. What do these things eat?
The floor. They seem to eat the floor.
Got any floor on your farm? They do though, don't they?
They just go and Peck up grass and bugs and stuff in the dirt.
Go on. Anyway, I love it.
There was a comment that was made in our Sunday Sit down.
That comedy only works when it tells you something true and it
makes you laugh about something that's true, that's also
unusual. So anyway, that's a little taste
into it as you guys have appropriately said that chickens
are the gateway into homesteading and homesteading is
a gateway into being a truly radical conservative type
person. You know, self-reliance, don't
care about the government, don't need the government to keep you
safe on most things because you provide for yourself.
And I think a lot of us aspire to that and we're all getting
back there. So that's not terrible.
Today was not, you know, yesterday was not a great
reminder of what the government does.
Well, it was a reminder of why we all want to do that.
So I guess we're all going to want chickens at the end of this
week and figure it out. All right, God bless all of you.
Thanks for joining us. I do really appreciate it.
Look forward to seeing you guys again tomorrow and hope you have
a fantastic Wednesday. It's going to be kind of a weird
week. It seems like that's how we're
doing it. All right, see you on the other
end of this thing. Thanks for listening to the Kyle
