Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an
American patriot. Prepare to embrace the
uncomfortable truth because thisprogram has no time for
comforting lies. Here is civil liberties
enthusiasts, Second Amendment defender and recovering FBI
agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends and

(00:36):
welcome to today's Cal Serafin show.
It is Tuesday, it is December the 23rd.
Thanks for being along. Thanks for all of you that are
joining us on all the places that you see us live, whether it
be Rumble or whether it be YouTube, whether it be X, If
you're watching on X, I've just added a feature.
By the way, you can click directly to our YouTube channel.
It's called Spotlight. I don't know if it works or not,
but you guys can check it out ifyou go to the profile.

(00:56):
So check that out, give you a quick update.
First of all, we're going to talk about a lot of different
things today. Mostly what I want to talk about
is what I'd like for Christmas, which is America to take
personal responsibility. And that means Americans.
I don't think our country existsas a broad concept, but I do
think that we as people can takepersonal responsibility and we

(01:17):
can move the needle. And then I also want to tell you
that my friend Steve Baker, because of your prayers, because
God's great power to heal and look out for the good guys when
it's part of his plan, he's doing, he's stable.
I don't like sharing other people's medical information.
Maybe that comes from being a medic.

(01:37):
And you know, we can talk about the, the vaguities, but we're
talking about specifics here. Steve had a cardiac issue that
came up out of nowhere without any blockage.
Having an acute heart, heart failure is not normal.
So it's not just me saying that.I spoke to people who have been
working in and around the intelligence community for a
long time and it's, it accounts for a very, very small fraction,

(02:02):
like a single digit percentage fraction of MI's myocardial
infarctions. It's it's just not a thing that
happened out of the blue. Certainly not.
We know more about heart attacksand and cardiac disease more
than almost anything out If you guys don't know, I, like I said,
I used to be a paramedic. I spent a lot of time around
emergency medicine. One of the weirdest things that

(02:22):
exists is that we know so much about the heart compared to
almost anything else. And that was because that was
what was killing people who had money and had influence and what
power in the 50s, sixties, 70s, etcetera.
So we've gotten really, really deeply involved in the medical
community about understanding how the heart works and how it
doesn't. And we know the stats on it.
We know whether or not statistically common.

(02:44):
What happened to Steve is bizarre.
He is being watched right now bypeople that we love and care
about and that we know. And we've got others that have
volunteered to step in and keep an eye on Steve.
Personally, I may make a trip ifneed be.
I put myself on the list, so we're going to look over our
own. I do think this was a warning
and not an attempt to take Steveout.

(03:04):
I think it was a warning for himto stop.
I don't think that's going to work.
So we're going to carry on. One of the things that you take
on when you say with personal responsibility is that you say
I'm going to do this thing and there are going to be
consequences, and those consequences are baked into me
agreeing to do the thing. If you sign up for the military,
you agree to take on some risks.If you decide to become a law

(03:27):
enforcement professional, there are some risks.
If you decide to go work in an emergency room, you know that
you're going to probably miss some birthdays and some holidays
because some people will need you to stay late to make sure
that they stay alive. That's what I mean when I say
all I want for Christmas is personal responsibility.
I want people to not be victims.I want them to accept that
living our lives means that you know that there are some things

(03:51):
you agree to do, and you also know that the cost is coming and
you're going to be the one who pays it and you accept it on
behalf of yourself and your family and your country.
It'd be nice if the people that were in political office knew
this too. There's a cost.
I think Americans are willing topay it.
I think Americans historically have stood up and paid that
cost, whatever it is to maintainour freedom, to maintain

(04:15):
personal liberty and our our, our national identity.
And what we're instead being sold is that you can trade your
safety. You can trade your, your, your
freedoms and the, and the cost, that personal responsibility for
safety and that somebody else will take care of it.
We all want someone else to stand up and lead.

(04:35):
Who's going to lead the charge? I support you, but I don't want
to do it. I think it it's really important
to have free speech, but I'm notwilling to exercise free speech
at the cost that I might have topay that kind of thing.
So at this moment, I'd like to remind us that we have our

(04:56):
personal responsibility and it'sa great time to do it because
we're coming up on Christmas. And for those who celebrate
Christmas, which is probably themajority of this audience, you
live in America if you are my tribe.
As I said yesterday, apparently this caught on.
But the idea that if you can eata bacon cheeseburger, which
means you're not a vegan and you're not a devout Muslim or
Jewish person. If you think that this is the
thing, then perhaps you also understand that Christmas is

(05:20):
about a mother, an unwed mother at the time, taking on the
responsibility for burying a child that would save the entire
history of humanity from there on forward and from from their
back. And a man taking that woman into
his house and trusting the word of God, a messenger like an
Angel coming to him and saying this in a dream.

(05:41):
And that's intense. The entire season of Advent in
the, in the, the Catholic massesprepare you for these stories,
which are wild. And then knowing that it's not
going to be easy, knowing that it's going to be a really,
really hard road. And at the end of it, your son
dies, right? How many parents take on a child
knowing that that child is goingto do something terrific and

(06:01):
amazing, and then also that you will witness them die.
It's not common. It does happen.
So that's what Christmas is about.
It's about personal responsibility and it's about
taking responsibility for even more than yourself.
We don't have to consider it to be a black pill or something
really negative to say that at the end of it all, the most

(06:23):
perfect person to walk the earthwas killed for his troubles.
So I, I had some people say, man, you were really dishing it
out in a dark way yesterday. No, no, it's just an
acknowledgement of reality. The reality is, is that nobody
gets out of this life alive. I think that's the joke that I
used to have with my buddies in the military.
Nobody gets out of it alive. So what can you do to make your
time on earth mean something? Can you be a person of

(06:48):
integrity? Can you be a person that accepts
the cost, whatever it is, the heavy burden of doing the right
thing and knowing that it's not going to be free?
Or are you going to be the kind of person who wants somebody
else to pay your way? My buddy Steve Baker is paying
the cost right now, and he's notgoing to give it up.
I think that you've seen in someway my friends who either

(07:11):
currently were reinstated at theFBI or were removed
unceremoniously, like my buddy Steve Friend, who is a regular
guest in this program and who had a story written about him in
the Blaze. He knows that there was going to
be a cost. He understood that and he chose
to pay it. There's no agenda there.
There's no, there's no ulterior motive.
It's like this is the thing thatI'm going to be able to look my

(07:32):
children in the eye and explain to them.
I'll show them what personal responsibility looks like by
living it, and then they go out and do it and the world is
better because of it. That's what I want to talk
about. We're also going to talk about
the Golden Fleet 'cause Donald Trump apparently was going to go
fix everything. I had friends tell me very, very
clearly Donald Trump is about todeclare martial law and fix the
election system. I was like, Nope.

(07:55):
So instead, what he declared is that he's going to be building
some new ships. We're going to spend more money.
We're going to hear about some Epstein stuff because they just
released another tranche this morning.
I had some journalists send themover to me and some links.
I'll watch somebody else go through it.
I've got certain things that I'mgoing to do.
Going through a bunch of Epsteinfiles is not going to be one of
them, especially when we've already seen the bad faith.

(08:16):
They had the alternative. They had the ability to reach
all that stuff, take responsibility for it and
release them on their own. They didn't do that.
So we'll talk about some Epsteinthings.
We're going to talk about dronesand batteries and the idea of of
MAGA. One of the the subsets of MAGA
was a thing called Maha Make America healthy again.
And that is a big personal responsibility thing.

(08:37):
And we don't want to do that. We want the easy button, which
is take a pill and walk away from it.
And so they're selling that to you and you have that
opportunity. You have the opportunity to try
to say, well, if it was just a pill to solve my problems, that
is the opposite of personal responsibility as well.
So we'll talk about those things.
Let's start off with a read for our friends over at Cove Pure.
If you guys want to take responsibility for the things

(08:57):
you put in your mouth and you drink, that's probably a good
idea. It's one of the fundamental
building blocks of nutrition is that you actually have
hydrations. You can do anything with it.
Check out my friends at Cove Pure.
It's Cove pure.com slash Kyle. That'll get you to the website.
Right now they're running their holiday special and it's running
through the end of the year and they've actually sold out doing
so and so you guys are actually pre ordering.

(09:19):
One of my favorite things to do is buy something that there's so
many people interested in that there's a wait list.
It tells you that you're not buying something that nobody
wants, which is really good. It's funny, I actually feel
really good about things knowingthat I'm going to have to wait
for it. I had the same thing with our
bread mill. Check out Cove Pier, it's a lab
certified device that will sit on your countertop with no
additional plumbing and it'll remove 99.9% of contaminants.

(09:40):
It gets rid of things like PFAS and pharmaceuticals and fluoride
and lead and arsenic. It will give you pure water.
In my case, we put one up in ourkids bathroom so that they have
easy access on the counter. They just push a button and it
fills up their water bottles with their cups so they can take
it to bed at night. And you got an option.
You can choose things like cold water.
You can do warm water, you can do hot water if you want to make
yourself a cup of tea. And it's very easy to use.

(10:01):
It's easy to fill up and it takes only about 15 minutes to
set up, which is a lot less confusing than some of the drip
systems. And we do have a drip system
downstairs that we use as well. So I like the fact that you got
a lot of options for the same amount of money that we spent on
a Berkey. You guys have the ability to
push a button, have it set up with just a very short amount of
work, and then boom, you got hot, cold or lukewarm.

(10:22):
I guess if you're a lukewarm type of person.
It's water that tastes like water, which is also really
nice. It's clean, it's pure.
There's no after taste. In my case.
It gets rid of sulfur and all the stink that comes out of our
Texas water. Check it out.
Sleek, beautiful. If you got to buy it as a gift,
you have to put a card in there saying that we got you something
that'll be here when they make them, which is not terrible.
All right, check out Cove peer.com/K YLE.

(10:42):
You saw the link on the show description below?
Cove peer.com/kyle. Let's talk a little bit about
this personal responsibility thing.
I got an article from some lefties to get started off.
Here we go. All right, nothing better than

(11:03):
going to a place called the Brookings Institute.
And by the way, the discussion of of personal responsibility I
actually think is a little bit uplifting.
It's the opposite of a downer. And that seems good in the
season as we are dealing with light, right?
Actually, last night was the longest night of the year, if
memory serves. I think we're right on the edge
of the winter solstice. It was last night or the night
before. So we are now moving up in the

(11:24):
world. We are getting more and more
light, which means that darknessstarts to lose.
And this is the reason why we have Christmas when we have it.
It's kind of a Pagan thing for those who pay attention.
I found this little stair step reminds me of the reason why
Jordan Peterson was so popular when he was.
It reminds me why I had to pay money for my wife to go sit in
an auditorium as a as a new mom,to go listen to a guy who was a

(11:49):
Canadian and an academic. It was assigning meaning to the
suffering personal responsibility.
So this is a little sort of, this is an infographic.
If you're just listening, you'remissing out on an infographic.
It starts with the with the concept of self-control and
personal responsibility, starts with you controlling yourself,

(12:09):
and then it talks about freedom and values and choices,
outcomes, lessons, and eventually the wisdom to sort of
discern between all of those things.
I found a fun article here from the Brookings Institute, which
is clearly on the left and you'll tell because their values
are not particularly aligned. And I found a video yesterday
just kind of randomly scrolling that made me feel positive.

(12:30):
It made me feel hopeful because I'm going to show you a 28 year
old guy who's not married yet, but he gets it.
And he's in a place where I think people used to believe my
kids have been reading the stories of, of Laura and Mary,
the, the Ingalls family, You know, the Little House in the

(12:50):
Prairie, Little House in the Bigwoods and all this kind of stuff
and some of these old values that really made America what it
was. If you want to make America
great again, part of it is taking on personal
responsibility and having peoplestep up and realize that it
starts with them and this guy, but I'm going to show you in a
moment, gets it and it goes against the grain.

(13:12):
It's the new punk rock. It's the thing that I heard
Gavin McGinnis say the raising ababy and taking him to church
and just having one wife is the new punk rock.
It is when this is the sort of the expectation and their
sequence of personal responsibility.
This is not a new article. This comes from July of 2009.
So put yourself back in that place.
July of 2009, I was in basic training in San Antonio, TX.

(13:36):
It says the Sequence of PersonalResponsibility written by a guy
named Ron Haskins. It's a willingness to accept
both the importance of standardsthat society establishes for
individual behavior and to make strenuous personal efforts to
live by those standards. Well, it only works if those
standards, if those social standards are actually standards
that will optimize your life. And of late, probably in the

(14:00):
last, I don't know what, 30-40 years, our society has really
become decadent and not been interested in holding standards
that most of history did for western civilization.
This is the age-old culture war that we've been talking about.
This guy says the demise of personal responsibility occurs
when individuals blame their family, their peers, their

(14:23):
economic circumstances, or theirsociety for their own failure to
meet the standards. Isn't that true?
If you have someone in your lifeor if you are that person who
looks around and blames family, peers, economic circumstances or
society for your failure to meetthe standards that you should be
holding for yourself, that's when you should start looking

(14:45):
around. And he says that the three areas
of personal responsibility that the nation's youth and the young
adults need to learn and practice.
Personal responsibility, in which I would say is synonymous
with discipline, include education, sexual behavior,
slash marriage and work. And then he goes on to have
basically all the wrong ideas about all of these things, which

(15:06):
is quite funny to me. The concept of of educating and
that you must go to university and prepare yourself.
I think that's been one of the big lies it's been told in this
country. The idea that that you should
wait until after high school to have sex, which is what he says,
as as opposed to the historically traditional way
that we did things in Western world, which was to say wait
until marriage. It may not be a thing that

(15:27):
everybody lived, but it was an expectation and an ideal to the
point where if it was outside ofit, it was a bit of a taboo, if
not a complete taboo. Doesn't mean people weren't
doing it, it just means that there was a value in it.
I might skip right ahead to where this guy is talking about
something that I think is reallyamusing.
They talk about education and the personal responsibility of
students getting ready and doingall the work.

(15:48):
But the expectation that we're going to go to university in the
1st place is relatively new. And I think, I actually think
it's part of the problem becauseif everybody goes to university,
who's going to turn the wrenchesand make sure the plumbing
works? Who's going to make sure that
your car is still functional? And I don't think you need to go
to to a college and take Westerncivilization, which I always
found really frustrating. All these things.
There are people that need to go, but not everybody.

(16:12):
And if I could do it all over again, I'm not confident I would
go to university. I really, I'm not sure that I
learned enough there. And then the last one here is
this thing about sex and marriage, which does seem to be
the fundamental pivot point where a lot of our our values
gone away. And I say that specifically
because I watched what happened.We played you the clip yesterday
of Nicki Minaj. And I didn't, I got to be real.
I don't, I don't actually know, like off the top of my head,

(16:34):
what songs does Nicki Minaj do perform?
Is she the person that I thoughtshe was?
And it's like, oh, I could have easily mistaken her for Cardi B.
They look about the same to me. They equally share the show
their breasts off on their albumcovers and their and they
equally are are selling, you know, sexual availability in

(16:56):
their in their music and in their, their visual
representations and stuff like that.
So all of this comes down to this idea that we're going to
sell a new and conservative movement of young people.
We're going to get them excited,and we're going to do so by
showing someone who is basicallya pornographic artist who walks

(17:17):
up to the line that would not have been available for even
nighttime television when I was growing up.
That's kind of wild. So I'm going to give you the
alternative of it. And I actually think it's super
uplifting. I think this is incredibly
positive. I think that this tells me that
this is what the turning point should have been as opposed to
doing this, this Kamala Harris style.

(17:40):
Bring out a bunch of horrific people, sequins, explosives.
How about young, humble, God fearing men giving them an
opportunity and see some old people affirm that that sort of
talking point. That's what I wish they would

(18:00):
have done with a with a, with anamp fast.
And I did read the comments thatyou guys put out there.
I'm going to put the chat up on the screen for a second.
I read your comments and for those of you that are like,
well, we all need different things.
That's not actually what we need.
It turns out what we need, if you want, what we need is a is
an actual conservative part of American politics.

(18:21):
My buddy Aaron Stevenson said itthe other day.
I saw it like in a passing comment, maybe he just said it
to me. He said the American politics
needs a right wing. And what we don't have right now
is that what we have is a hard left and then we have sort of
like a center squishy left middle.
And that's considered to be the MAGA thing.
And most of you actually don't even share values with the

(18:42):
people that you're in the tent with.
I would suggest that if you think most of these people
represent you, if you got right down to it, you realize they
don't because what they'll do isthey'll lie right to your face
and we're always offended by it.Then you turn around and you
vote for these exact same people.
We need an actual conservative party in America.
I think that would be really good to put some pressure and

(19:03):
the idea that we have this binary where both sides of it
are the same wings of this ugly bird, whether you call it a
vulture or a bat or you call it an eagle or whatever, whatever
that bird is, they're flapping the same thing.
If Lindsey Graham represents theparty that you're in and he
doesn't represent you, then you got to be asking some questions.
If people like Cardi B or Nicki Minaj or whoever the difference

(19:24):
are will come into your tent andthen you'll be like, oh, yeah,
we're going to celebrate this person because they said
something that we kind of like talking about going to church
when they were 11 and 12 and 13 years old.
Meanwhile, like nothing but boobs and and like little nipple
coverings on the album cover. That's not conservative.
It's not godly, and that's not how we think it's going to work
out. Well, watch this man standing

(19:47):
with a woman. This guy reminds me of some of
my favorite people. I have a friend who looks like
this, who sounds like this, who's a lot older now, married
and has kids. These are some of the people
that I knew in the FBI that had this kind of, you know, guys I
knew in the military that had this level of confidence.
This is what I would like to seemore of.
And with a beard, at 28, he looks a lot older than he has.

(20:08):
But he's 28 years old. Listen to this guy laying it out
for a woman who's asking him what are you looking for in a
wife? And the guy has all the right
answers that I wish I knew when I was that age.
This gives me some hope. What type of girl are you
looking for? I'm looking for a submissive
godly unvaccinated 1. Uh, what?
Unvaccinated No, the first word submissive.
Oh, submissive yes. What is?
That be submissive is to put yourself under the authority of

(20:29):
your husband. Biblical.
There's also responsibility on the male side for that tells a
wife to submit to her husband and a husband to die to himself
or his wife every day. So you're not into boss babes?
No, I don't think that that works.
Why? Because I think it's against
men's nature. To be like confident and bossy.
No, not confident. I think that confidence for a
woman is great. I just think that bossing a man
around is outside of a woman's nature.

(20:51):
Boss babes, women that do not want to submit to male authority
in their life, whoever that is, whether that's your father or
your pastor or your husband, I think that that just leads to
problems. And I think if you look around
the world today, you see it everywhere or there are a lot of
women that do you get to do whatever they.
If you got a girl pregnant, would you marry her?
And I wouldn't have sex with herbefore I married her.
Oh, so you're waiting till marriage to have?

(21:12):
Yes. Really.
Yes. So you're very conservative.
You don't like liberals? And I would say I'm more
Christian. I think that that aligns more
with conservative values, but I'm not a fan of liberals.
I think that it's an ugly ideology.
So you think liberals are unhappy?
I do think they're unhappy. I think it's a really self
defeating philosophy that encourages A victim mindset and

(21:33):
I wish that people wouldn't buy into it, but I get allure.
Being a victim feels good. So Hollywood is you want to stay
away from Hollywood. Yeah, I want to live in the
middle of nowhere on a farm. How about the gender roles?
Lately, the gender roles have been switched I.
Don't think they've been switched, I just think they've
been kind of subverted. I don't think that you can
really switch them. I think that you can fight
against them, OK. It's real sad because when

(21:55):
people aren't within the way Goddesigned them to be, they're not
going to be as effective as it could or should be and who
they're made to be. Where'd you get your values
from, Dad? Not the Bible.
Pro-choice. No, I think that it's murder.
So you don't believe a woman hastheir own rights to their body
They. Have their own rights to their
own body, but that's not their body.
I mean, that's a completely separate entity.
In California, if you shoot a pregnant woman, you get charged

(22:16):
with double murder. I would say that it's not a
child is not your body. What do you do for a living?
A self theft. OK, where did you go to school?
Middlebury College. And how old are you?
28 years old. Keith, thank you for expressing
yourself with me. Glad to.
What can I say? There's nothing really to add to
that. Give this man, Yeah, give that
man a high 5. What's really, what's really

(22:37):
encouraging is hearing someone at 28 have that figured out.
And he's not selling it hard andhe's not out there being a jerk
about it. He's quietly accepted that it's
his personal responsibility to do the things that need to be
done. And where, where did this all
come from? If you guys are curious, it's
because every once in a while I,I scope out what does the New
York Times have to say. There's a lot of people that

(22:59):
read the New York Times. My father-in-law is one of those
people that still reads The New York Times.
It has an over an over bearing influence on people that are
older than I am because they remember when it was, what is it
Andrew Clavin called? A so-called newspaper or a
former newspaper. There was a time when The New
York Times really mattered. It doesn't matter as much to my
generation. Probably it doesn't matter as
much to many of you, but it it still does to some.

(23:21):
And this was one of the lead articles today.
There's a story in The New York Times Magazine, which is sort of
the subset of New York Times, but this was featured on their
web page today and the articles entitled The Masculinity Crisis
is Real. And this book explains why.
It's a book about the crisis in masculinity and it's a book

(23:42):
review that's written by an Indian woman about a book about
masculinity that was also written about written by a woman
who is a lesbian. Everything about that is wrong.
And anybody that would that would be following down those
footsteps, it, to me, it just tells you how far off we are

(24:04):
that there is even an audience of people that are willing to
listen to it. And that that gal was cute.
She's out there interviewing this guy.
If you guys were just listening and you weren't able to see it,
she had a little cup of coffee. She has a little espresso cup.
And so that's where her microphones are, by the way, she
has the microphone in the cup ofcoffee.
Yes, that man needed a real mug,clearly.
But he's talking to an attractive woman who clearly

(24:27):
doesn't agree with the things that he's saying.
And, and what did it do? She didn't, she wasn't outraged.
She was interested. And that's the thing that I
found most interesting. If you go along with the
culture, if you follow along with The New York Times, a woman
named Parul Sikhar Gal Sigal talking to you about masculine

(24:48):
energy and, and the endless debate about how how do we help
masculinity? No, no, women don't get to do
it. Men have to do it.
Men have to lead. They do it quietly.
They do it by humbly doing work.They do it by accepting burdens.
The way that you just saw that guy and then just saying the
things that are true. It's like, do you do you believe
in pro-choice? He's like, no, I think it's
murder. But he didn't accuse anybody of

(25:09):
anything. He didn't go out there and
attack anybody and say that they're they're awful or wrong.
He just asserted it. He said it in a way that would
be clearly counter to the culture.
I don't think we're ever going to find that guy hugging A
punching bag and crying. I don't think he's likely to

(25:30):
read a story of a woman named Nora Vincent who wrote a book
called self-made Men where she dressed as a woman, a lesbian
woman who dressed as a man and then infiltrated male culture.
I don't think that guy needs to have that.
Where'd you get your values fromyour dad?
No, I got him from the Bible. Interesting, right?

(25:55):
Well most of the time from most American history, if you were to
ask where dad got his values, that's where it came from.
Doesn't mean that we didn't all fail as men at some point, but
it's interesting that the valuespre exist.
It doesn't just come from the person just before you.
It's a lineage. Men aren't in crisis.

(26:17):
America is in crisis is what this article says.
That's true. It's not going to be solved by
an Indian woman book review of alesbian dressing as a man in
2006 and having some insight into masculinity.
That's just not how it's going to get done.
It's going to happen through theoldest, oldest thing ever.
Personal responsibility and discipline, which are the same
thing, is actually one of them is making sure that you hold
yourself accountable. And then the other one of them

(26:40):
is that you actually apply it toall the pieces where you could
do it, knowing that you're goingto have a cost, whatever it is
you do, and then and then actually living through that
cost. There's somebody who's living
through the cost right now at Brown University.
We just went through a manhunt and that was pretty awful, a
manhunt for somebody who decidedto go, it sounds like, and blame
others for for his problem, old problems.

(27:04):
Guy went and killed a student. Two students shot at a bunch of
others at Brown University. And then because our the system
failed, refused to acknowledge what they did, the personal
responsibility of saying, hey, we turned off our cameras
because we don't actually believe that I should be able to
access them. That's what happened at Brown.
The camera system was shut down.The law enforcement people went

(27:26):
to go find it, found out there was nothing and the guy got
around longer, managed to kill somebody at MIT.
That's at least the story that we have for now.
Usually what happens is people have the honor to say I failed,
I had a responsibility, I had a job and I didn't do it.
And so I will be resigning for my position.

(27:46):
People used to fall on their sword.
That means literally you say I take responsibility, I put my
own sword in front of me and I say I must pay the price because
other people suffered because ofmy failure.
That was when we had people who,you know, actually held
themselves accountable. That doesn't happen anymore.
We're seeing a story of from CBSright now.
Brown University police chief has been placed on leave and

(28:07):
will be investigated and either brought back or not Brown
University Police Chief Rodney Chatham, it's been placed on
more leave more than a week after.
I'm sorry, been placed on leave more than a week after the mass
shooting killed 2 students. They knew they had to do
something. We're talking about a university
system that has $8 billion in inendowments cost 70 to $100,000 a

(28:27):
year for people to go and attendthe school there.
And they found out that they lettheir politics get in the way
and the cost was is at the very minimum, an additional person
died that didn't need to becausethey didn't have any way to
identify who this person was whowent out and did the this
horrific shooting. School president Christina
Paxton, not on leave, didn't have to take responsibility.

(28:48):
It was interesting that they brought up girl bosses, babe
bosses or whatever you call them.
In my experience at law enforcement, actually most of my
experience in most corporate things, that was the worst part
of it. Female bosses, A disordered
place. That doesn't mean that you can't
take direction from women. I do it every day.
I have a woman in my house that you know, gets a say, but she

(29:09):
doesn't have to take the responsibility at the end.
Seeing this woman, Christina Paxton, you guys heard her, She
went up there and she basically denied.
She, she diffused and she refused to take the personal
responsibility. Scary stuff, she said.
Review like this is standard. It takes place.
The vice president for public safety and Emergency Management,
Ronnie Chatham, is on leave effective immediately.

(29:33):
He was placed in his role after having a a campus safety job at
the University of Cincinnati, University of Utah.
People have drawn some weird things about Charlie Kirk.
I don't think that's related at all.
I think that we're talking aboutthe sort of internal nepotistic
system that that promotes from within people who get into a
certain type of job and then they just stay there and
promoting people who don't want law and order in law enforcement

(29:55):
positions. That's pretty scary and pretty
damning. It's not a good thing for us.
It doesn't benefit anybody to see that.
And it's certainly, it certainlydoesn't promote a sense of
personal responsibility where people do it proactively.

(30:18):
All right, we're going to talk about Epstein, which is maybe
the ultimate version of lacking personal responsibility.
This happens in our federal government.
This is happening right now froma number of people.
I see that those you are watching in the chat are telling
me that we're frozen and we're glitching and we're losing
access. That's fine.
It'll all be posted over on Spotify, so we'll get you over
to that in just a second. You guys just know if you ever
missed something and you want togo back and see it, it will be

(30:38):
posted in its entirety clearly at kyleseraphinshow.com.
The freeze happens. I don't think of anything we can
do about it. I'll take personal
responsibility when it's me. That one just is just outside of
my hands. How about that?
OK, real quickly, if you guys want to take personal
responsibility for your online safety, for your, for your

(30:59):
online persona and the things that are necessary for you to
make sure you don't get scammed,you can always take
responsibility for getting scammed.
But maybe you should do something in advance so you
don't have to worry about that sort of thing.

(32:47):
Nobody wants that. Let's talk about something that
has been coming back to haunt people for a very long time.
The internet's forever, Apparently the archives at DOJ
are not. And there's Jeffrey Epstein, one
of the most infamous dudes you can find, and nobody wants to
find themselves as a taking a picture with him.
And yet everybody does for some reason.

(33:08):
Why are there so many Jeffrey Epstein stories?
Let's talk about Donald Trump answering some questions at Mar
A Lago about it, and we'll do a quick coverage.
They just released the third tranche of Epstein informations.
We'll find out more about what was in there as people start
coving through them. I think I started seeing them at
about 7:00 this morning. So for the first hour while I
was prepping, people have started ripping through them.
We don't even have all the updates with their.

(33:28):
Trump was asked about this at Mar a Lago yesterday while he
was announcing other things, andthis was his answer, which is
kind of interesting. He loves Bill Clinton.
Of course he does. This goes back to my old story.
Donald Trump is essentially a 90s Democrat.
Of course he would love Bill Clinton.
Thank you. Mr. President, were you
surprised by the number of photos of Bill Clinton and the
Epstein files and you can you commit to their full and were

(33:52):
you surprised by the number of photos of Bill Clinton and the
Epstein files and can you committo their full release by the end
of the year? Some of the victims were
protesting that too many of themwere retracted.
I know there were a lot of people that are angry about all
of the pictures of other people,you know, but I think it's
terrible. Look, I don't like, I like Bill
Clinton. I've always gotten along with

(34:12):
Bill Clinton. I've been nice to him.
He's been nice to me. We've always gotten along.
Respect him. I hate to see photos come out of
him, but this is what the Democrats, mostly Democrats and
a couple of bad Republicans are asking for.
So they give me their photos of me too.
Everybody was friendly with thisguy, either friendly or not
friendly, but they were, you know, he was around.
He was all over Palm Beach and other places.

(34:32):
The head of Harvard was his bestfriend, Larry Summers, and Bill
Clinton was a friend of his. But everybody was, I actually
threw them out of Mar a Lago. And as a, you know, as a person
that was in Mar a Lago, I threw them at Mar a Lago.
This is Mar a Lago. It's the hottest place in, I
think it's the hottest place in the world, but it's the hottest
place in Florida. And everybody would come here.

(34:55):
He'd come here. We actually threw them out.
But no, I don't like the pictures of Bill Clinton being
shown. I don't like the pictures of
other people being shown. I think it's a terrible thing.
I think Bill Clinton's a big boy.
He can handle it, but you probably have pictures of being
exposed of other people that innocently met Jeffrey Epstein
years ago, many years ago. And they're, you know, highly

(35:18):
respected bankers and lawyers and others.
And they'll end up because of guys like Massey, who's a real
lowlife, whose polls are down toabout 9%, by the way, in the
great state of Kentucky. If you look at Kentucky,
Kentucky is such a great place, but I don't know, they've got,
they've got a couple of people in there that are very strange

(35:39):
in terms of leadership. But Massey's a loser and he
likes it. And that he works with the
Democrats. He's just being used by the
Democrats because what this whole thing is with Epstein is a
way of trying to deflect from the tremendous success that the
Republican Party has. Yeah, it's really bad that
people who took pictures with Jeffrey Epstein have to be seen

(36:03):
with those pictures they took with Jeffrey Epstein.
People who knew he was a convicted sex offender when they
took the pictures when they werespending time with the guy.
You know, because he was wealthyand everybody did it.
How about no personal responsibility whatsoever?
How about no ability to do self reflection at all, not even a
little bit? Why don't we just go and attack
Tom Massey? That sounds great.

(36:27):
You know who takes the call of an investigative journalist?
I want to know what's going on and think that the federal
government's lying to us. Tom Massey.
That was maybe one of the most sad things that you could see
Donald Trump out there. Deflect, diffuse, refuse.
How about you just take ownership of the fact that,

(36:48):
look, we knew he was kind of a scumbag, but maybe we didn't
know how much of A scumbag. We spent time with him because
he was convenient. He was in the social circles.
Everybody was doing it. And then, yeah, I'm embarrassed
about it right now. How about that?
No, through a man of Mar A Lago.It's the hottest place in the
world. Oh, it's so amazing.
Mar A Lago is doing great. Justice Department released the
third batch of Epstein files, including some that mentioned

(37:08):
Donald Trump. This is, of course, what it was
all about that happened today. So says there are growing
concerns from from lawmakers andfrom survivors that the
department has fallen short of releasing all the records as
required by law. Of course, Donald Trump is upset
about that because it's requiring something he signed it
into. He signed it into to law, right?
He signed this bill. So how do you go out there and

(37:31):
attack Tom Massey over this? Again, I think it's weakness.
I think it's an it's a refusal to take personal responsibility,
which is a loser position for a guy who calls him a loser.
That's a loser position. That's a Donald Trump loser
position. It was Massey talking about the
funny sort of quirky nature of what this was going to involve.
This was before the release even.
This is when he was sitting withMatt Kibbe.

(37:52):
And as soon as it passed the House 427 to 1, Speaker Johnson
assured everybody that this would get modified in the
Senate. That was a terrible piece of
legislation and that we just, wejust needed to get it through
and that the Senate would fix it.
Well, what did the Senate do? Jonathan said, no, thank you.
We think you've showed us with your 427 to one vote, this bill

(38:16):
doesn't need any changes. And so they did unanimous
consent that within hours of it passing in the House, we didn't
even send them the bill yet. It didn't get to them that until
10 AM the next day. But the night before, they had a
vote to say, whenever the bill gets here, it's already passed.
We're going to go ahead and deemit passed when it gets here.

(38:37):
So they passed it before they had it.
I've never seen the Senate move that quickly.
And then it went over to the White House and there was no
bill signing. And there was a lot of
speculation that, you know, he had, he has a certain number of
days to sit on it if he wants. So there was speculation that he
was sitting on this because there was no bill signing.
The reality is he signed it the second it got there.

(38:59):
Like once this thing moved, started moving, it moved like a
freight train. OK, So Trump signed it.
Does he take any responsibility for it?
How about the people that passedit?
Did they take any responsibilityfor it?
No, that's all I want. I just want people to live the
values that they claim that theyhave.
If you say you want accountability, then go out and

(39:20):
live it. If you bring people in, if
people voted for you because they thought there was going to
be accountability, whether it be, you know, administrative
state, whether it be a reform ofgovernment, whether it be a
removal of government agencies, because I thought we were going
to get rid of some. I thought we were going to
actually try to offend the government.
We're going to fund it all on tariffs, right?
How about that? How about personal
responsibility, saying I can't do what I said I was going to
do? You never see that from these

(39:42):
people. Donald Trump calls the release
of Bill Clinton and others in the Epstein files quote, a
terrible thing. He said Monday that the release
of thousands of photos from the government's files on Jeffrey
Epstein wrists ensnaring highly respected people with no
connection to the late sex offenders crimes except that
they were hanging out with the late sex offender after some of

(40:03):
his crimes. That's the whole point.
What did your parents teach you when you were growing up?
What does it say about you? The company you keep says a lot
about you. And what do you notice that
whenever Donald Trump is losing and he's quote UN quote
explaining things like that, he just starts rambling and making
no sense whatsoever. He just touches on all kinds of
nonsense. You can always tell when Donald

(40:24):
Trump is not on firm ground because his footing is bad and
he just starts riffing about random things.
Mona Lago. It's a hot property.
And it's really sad because I like Bill Clinton.
I always got along with Bill Clinton.
All of that was nonsense. And it's the same nonsense we've
been seeing Republicans just sort of like push out over and
over again. They keep talking about the

(40:45):
same. Whenever this topic pops up,
they lose. And this is a classic
explanation in politics. If you are explaining, then
you're losing. It's the same as this sort of.
It's a corollary to the first rule of holes.
If you want to, you know, get out of the hole, stop digging,
put down the shovel. They can't help themselves.
They always do. On Monday, he was asked about
the emergence of photos with of with Bill Clinton.

(41:05):
By the way, that was that was onpurpose.
Do you think DOJ didn't just release all this stuff on
purpose? They specifically curated a dump
that was primarily Bill Clinton.The people that were on the
political left understood this right away.
I had journalists out on the other side that were telling me
it's like, it's just Bill Clinton.
It's all it's theatrical. So they're curating these dumps.
You guys called it the drip, drip, drip.

(41:27):
I'm sure that's people who were listening to Bongino.
That's a tactic that is used. Try to stall, try to space it
out. The same tactic that your kids
use, by the way, this is a juvenile tactic.
It's really easily seen through.It's one of the reasons why
being a parent is actually helpful because you can look at
these people and know exactly what's going on because your
kids will do it. You go, hey, man, where were you
last night? You know, you didn't come in on

(41:48):
time. Maybe you were asleep.
And you see them come in. And So what happens?
They go, well, we did this thingand then we did this thing and
they try to space out whatever The thing is that they did wrong
by explaining a bunch of other sort of like not all that bad
deals. And then eventually they're
going to lead. They, they work you up to it.
It's like when somebody asked you for something and they, and
they've been buttering you up all along.

(42:10):
They give you a bunch of flattery and praise and they
tell you some other things that have nothing to do with
anything. And they try to just sneak in
the ask, Hey, could you also, I don't know, take care of my, my
sick dog that has diarrhea all over my house for the next
month. And you're like, wait, what?
Why don't you just come forward and ask me that?
I'll just tell you, no, I can't do that.
Or yes, I'm willing to. I'm happy to help you, whatever
it may be. It's when people just try to,

(42:31):
they try to shade around the edges like you can't see what
they're doing. We all know what we're doing.
You just say, say, I'm very uncomfortable about this.
But there are things that happened over the years, some
things that I'm not proud of. I'm a regular human being like
everybody else, and I have things that I regret, and this
is one of them. Take responsibility.
They don't do that. They don't do it.
And then they go out there and they have the freaking audacity

(42:53):
to tell you that if you don't get on board with us, even
though we've been lying to you, shading around the edges, even
though we can't tell you the truth, no matter what we do, we
need your vote. Because if you don't vote for
us, then the worst thing will happen.
I think this is not going to work out real well.
I think that there are enough people that are looking at it
and just going, I don't even care anymore.
You've abused the trust. There are too many people that

(43:14):
woke up over the last five yearsthat saw what happened when the
government lied during the code.Like, look, the vaccine, the the
Operation Warp Speed, the the COVID shutdowns, a lot of those
have to fall on Trump. And I never heard him really
take personal responsibility. And I heard everybody make every
excuse under the sun. Well, you had this, you had
that, you know, these problems. Guess what?
You got a second shot at it. Did you do it right?

(43:35):
No. Here's Mike Johnson, who I think
is massively to blame in this, who is one of the slimiest
creatures in DC. I just say that by listening to
him, he sounds oily. He sounds like what I would
expect a slimy politician to come out and say.
And so when I say that he's Smithers, which is the the
sycophantic, you know, suck up out of the The Simpsons.

(43:58):
That's a lot of s s, right? That was very alliterative.
Smithers is the O whatever you say there.
That's exactly how I got to do it.
Smithers sounds like the the exact thing that you'd expect.
And he goes out there and represents, oh, we need you.
But if we lose the midterms, everything is lost.
Well, if you lose the midterms, it's your own fault.
And people are starting to see that as well.

(44:18):
We're going to do a little fun compilation of Mike Johnson
trying to give you some, some some doom scenarios.
Never once do they take personalresponsibility for lying at
every single step and never oncedoing what they said.
Imagine if Mike Johnson just came out and said, look, I
promise you a bunch of stuff. I've delivered on none of it.
I'm committed to doing better and help me out.

(44:40):
Would that ever happened? No, because that would involve
personal responsibility. That would involve having the
balls that the 28 year old man talking to the really Pretty
Woman wearing the yoga outfit had to say things that she would
not like and he knew would be unpopular as a single guy out
there in the world talking to a pretty lady.
How many men are in are are tempted to shade their answers?

(45:02):
And that guy wasn't. We can't even get a politician
with the bravery of a 28 year old guy standing on the street
being interviewed by a pretty girl.
Instead, we have this. So when the loss happens, and I
think it will, because I think Americans just look at it and
they reject it, it's going to bethis guy's fault and people just
like him. Everything has has been said
here. Everything is on the line in the

(45:23):
midterms of 2026, and we have much more to do.
But if if we lose the House majority, the radical left, as
you've already heard, is going to impeach President Trump.
They're going to create absolutechaos.
We cannot let that happen. And what?
Are you going to do about it? What is going to make it better?
What if you admitted that you were a liar and you have been

(45:44):
for the last several years? Can you admit that you just went
out and did a continuing resolution and funded the entire
government, including the one that you were crying about
investigating you, that you werecrying about your colleagues
having their their phone recordstaken by a predatory law
enforcement agency? Can you do that?
I'm just going to remind you some of these things will live

(46:05):
forever. And this isn't even that long
ago. This is November of 2023.
Mike Johnson promised you something and has never once
delivered on it. And more importantly, he's never
taken personal responsibility for saying these things.
I've never heard him say this again.
Committed to never being in thissituation again.
I'm done with short term CRS. We are.
We're resolved. So what that means is you're
going to see in the beginning ofthis next year we'll be walking

(46:27):
and chewing gum at the same time.
We're going to get the appropriations process running
on time as it's supposed to be under law.
The Budget Control Act of 1974 has very specific provisions in
there on how this is to be done.Congress hasn't done that for as
long as we can remember, but we're going to get back to that
because that's good stewardship.The American people deserve it
and the debt situation we find ourselves in necessitates that.
So, but overall with the with the CR, as as our leader just

(46:51):
noted, we have, we have broken the Christmas Omni and I have no
intention of going back to that terrible tradition.
So there won't be a Christmas omnibus.
If somebody asked me in the hallway a little while ago, will
there be mini buses? I don't, we don't want any
buses. We're not going to do any buses.
OK, We'll, we'll deal with that in the lame duck and I'm going
to hope, I'm going to plead, I'mgoing to urge the Senate to do

(47:12):
their job as a leader, Scalise noted.
They have not done that. This is Chuck Schumer's fault.
It is not the House Republicans that we're in the position where
we have to have a resolution to continue funding the government.
It's Chuck Schumer's fault. It's everybody's fault but mine.
I'm never going to take ownership of it.
You know who doesn't buy it? People who have taken personal
responsibility. People who do things on their

(47:34):
own, people who look at liars and say, hey, I remember what
you said a few minutes ago and I've got a pretty good memory
and it wasn't that long ago. That was in September of 24,
that second part of the clip. So blame everyone except
yourself. Midterms are going to be a real
nasty rebuke because people thatotherwise would fight on your
behalf are not going to do it because you can't even take, you

(47:57):
can't even respect us enough to just take personal
responsibility for your own statements.
Here's Owen Schroyer saying about the same thing.
It's interesting. I didn't coordinate with Owen.
I didn't ask him about this, butI know that he and I have very
similar takes on a lot of stuff and this is one of them.
I'm done. I'm not fighting for these
liars. I'm not fighting for this
administration anymore. I'm done.
I'm out. They broke up with us.

(48:17):
They stabbed us in the back. They betrayed us, not the other
way around. We don't owe them anything.
They owe us everything. They work for us.
In case you forgot, Mike Johnsonat the event this weekend.
Oh, they're coming to impeach Trump.
Oh, you don't say. You don't say Little Johnson.

(48:40):
You don't say Tiny Johnson. You mean the Republicans are
going to lose the midterms and they're going to impeach Trump?
Well, golly Gee, I could have sworn somebody was saying that
six months ago. And you called them Panicans.
Isn't that funny? And now all of the Trump
cultists and all of the Trump cheerleaders and all of the MAGA

(49:03):
sheeple. We need to unify.
We need to unify. We need to win an election.
We just won an election. We need to unify.
We need more Nicki Minaj's, but not him, though.
Not that person over there, though.
We didn't mean him. Even though he's actually a
conservative, even though he actually does get out the vote

(49:25):
drives, Even though he actually has been out on the streets and
supported for Trump and suffered.
Not him, though. We.
Anybody but him, though. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Not them, but Nicki Minaj. Yeah.
Oh, is that a trans person out there?
Yeah. Bring them on the stage, too.
Oh, look. Oh, look.
Is that a porn star? Let's get them up on the stage,
too. We need to unite to win.
We need. Do you see the kind of outrage

(49:46):
that that that this kind of stuff spawns when people
actually have some real principles?
I know Owen in person. He went to prison over all this
stuff, guys. He was same as my buddy Steve
Baker, face down the possibilityof a of a jail cell.
Owen actually went. At some point you get sick of

(50:12):
people lying to you. And I think a lot of people are
looking and and going if this iswhat it, if this is what the
tent involves, that's not what Isigned up for.
I'd like to see a real conservative party, if you need
to unite with people that are antithetical to the views that
don't have any sense of personalresponsibility and and the
people that you're going to put there won't take any personal
responsibility. If that's how it's going to

(50:33):
look, Why? Why are you even doing it?
What's the purpose? What's the point of any of it?
It's gross. Yeah.
I mean, it really, it really is nasty and gross.
So that's where I'm sitting right now.
That doesn't mean that the political left has anything
better to offer. In fact, it has an awful thing
to offer. What they offer is the opposite
of personal responsibility as well.
So there's almost no difference,which is why when people say

(50:54):
that there's a uniparty, you can't tell me that there's such
a thing as everybody is Co aligned when they get to
Washington DC and then act like they're not because it's like, I
can see it. I'm going to play you a guy
that's running for, I think he'srunning for Senate in New York,
and he's essentially saying the same thing.
Let me promise you everything. Let me make sure that we don't
have to talk about personal responsibility.
Let me tell you that the things that you think that you need

(51:14):
because we've told you that you need them, there's almost no
difference between where the political left sits and the
political right sits when it comes to actually getting to the
the business of governance. It is my supposition that
Democrats think the answer to every problem is government, but
Republicans think the answer to every governmental problem is
more government. And there's not a lot of
daylight between those. It's you're squeaking the edges.

(51:35):
It's the it's the kid that's telling you all the things they
did OK and kind of leading up tothe bad thing at the end.
What's the, what's the major difference there?
It's minimal. It's really, really minimal.
All right, If you don't trust government, if you.
I have to actually send some of these to my buddy.
I was just talking to Steve Baker and one of our friends
that's in the room with him. They've been putting their
phones in a bathroom and runningwater.

(51:56):
Guys, you might want to make sure that you can be in charge
of things because we can't trustthe folks that run our
government. We can't trust the the scammers,
the big tech organizations that are in bed with the government,
etcetera, the media organization, social media,
etcetera. I mean, all of your social media
apps are spying on you as well. Your phone is a tracking device.
If you don't realize that it is,I've started trying to like shut
it down, whatever I go for even just a walk with my kids.
So I have a little bit of time to unplug.

(52:17):
If you have not taken an opportunity to do that, there's
some really neat things you can buy from our friends over at
Silent. The products are outstanding.
The design is very good. You'll find them.
Obviously we start off the show every day with one of these
Faradays cases. That's how I get going.
But this is 1. As you're traveling, maybe for
the holidays, what you realize is that when you're dealing with
snow and ice, having a waterproof backpack actually
might be something in your life.This entire bag is a Faraday

(52:38):
cage, by the way. It's also TSA proof, which is
super fun. When I took it to TSA, they
couldn't even figure out how to open it.
By the time the TSA guy figured out how to use the buckles and
unroll the bag, he just gave up and didn't even go through my
stuff. Which anytime I can avoid a
government search is a win. Not that I have anything to
worry about, but like, yeah, let's demoralize people that do
dumb things just for the sake ofgovernment.
Check out my friend friends overat Silent.
It's SLN, t.com/K YLE, Silent with no vowels.com/kyle.

(53:05):
You'll save 15% with my name. I think if you guys buy any of
the bigger products, they're actually doing tiered discounts
that are higher. So do that.
Even if we don't get any credit for it, I don't really care.
Get the best deal that's out there that they have on the
website. They're doing some holiday
stuff. You drop your phone in the
Silent Fair day sleeve. It drops you off the grid
completely. It makes you silent to the
outside world. It makes you invisible.
It's also probably a really nicething to do if you're not taking
pictures actively for Christmas,you can just get away from it

(53:27):
and not see some of this stuff. I'm going to be taking a break.
Today's the last show of the week.
We're going to take a break all the way through the weekend.
I'm going to spend time with thekids.
We're going to do family stuff. I hope you guys get a chance to
do that too, so maybe you can reduce your digital footprint.
Stay off the social media nonsense.
Stay away from all the stuff. Do what the special operations
guy do. Just go dark for a little bit or
James O'Keefe does when he's a going to DJ a party in Miami,

(53:48):
whatever else. Check out my friend that's
silent. You guys won't be disappointed.
They have really great products.I've just been starting to use
their their concealed carry sling.
I'm going to give them a review.We're going to try to improve
all the stuff they have. So slnt.com/K YLE very easy to
find and the everyday Faraday backpack that you see on the
screen right now is probably my favorite thing that they make.
And I've been using it whenever I travel as well.
As long as I know it's not goingto be icy or snowy, that's where

(54:09):
I go with it. All right, let's talk about a
couple other things here. Again, personal responsibility
going away. You get problems with promising
and under under delivering. What's amazing to me is that I
don't want to leave the Epstein thing because it will continue
to bite Republicans until they just own it and take
responsibility. And so I want to do kind of a

(54:30):
little montage that I've I've put together.
I've got a couple little clips here and they're all Mike
Johnson. It turns out, because he's
theoretically the leader of the this is the first time that I
can remember where the where thethe speaker of the House was
such a sycophantic secondary character, hence Smithers, that
he doesn't even seem to stand onhis own 2 feet.
Whenever I think of Mike Johnson, I think of like, what
sort of sucking up was he doing to Donald Trump to try to get

(54:51):
along? The only reason he's in that
spot is because people who were really kind of aggressive and
said we wanted to change something, they got rid of Kevin
McCarthy. That's what happened in 2023.
And I almost immediately, the minute they picked him, I just
went, Nope, not it. I had a conversation with my
dad. I'm using late enough, put this
on the screen for a second. Chat's back up, guys.

(55:14):
I had this funny conversation right when they they chose Mike
Johnson. I listened to him speak and my
dad's like, oh, he sounds like anice Christian man and he sounds
like he's got all the right principles.
And I went, no, I don't think so.
So here you go. Here's a guy letting you know
why we can't release, why we can't have accountability for a
sex predator and the guy who apparently trafficked 1200 plus
victims only to himself and has all this government sort of

(55:36):
nonsense all around them. Yeah, we have to worry about
national security. We got bigger problems, people,
things you can't even you littlepeons can't even understand.
I think Americans would take like a dose of reality, however,
however bitter that medicine is over this nonsense continually.
All right #5 national security concerns, okay.

(55:59):
The discharge requires the Attorney General to release
within 30 days quote classified information to the maximum
extent possible. This ignores the principle that
declassification should always rest and always has rested with
the agency that originated the intelligence.
Why? So that they can protect their

(56:20):
critical sources and methods. It is incredibly dangerous to
demand that officials or or employees of the DOJ declassify
materials that originated in other agencies and intelligence
agencies. And whenever you hear those
statements, and I will continue to play them for as long as
they're relevant, I want you to always remember that on the

(56:41):
other end of whatever argument they make is the ending line is.
And that's why we have to let the pedophiles get away with it.
That's what it is. I'm stealing that from my buddy
Steve friend. That's why we have to let the
pedophiles not be named and shaped because sources and
methods, because other nonsense that's going on out there.

(57:02):
And it's not like this guy has maintained any degree of
biblical humility or personal responsibility, nor does he
require it of those around him. Can't help but remember this
story. This is another one of the
stories that was pushed by my friend Steve Baker, which
definitely pissed off certain people.
The story of Corey Mills of Florida, who apparently was

(57:26):
married by a radical imam, if you believe the stories that
we're seeing out there. And I've had people that served
with him that said he was a scumbag, that he was a liar,
that he was stolen valor when itcomes to the things he did in
the military. Interesting.
Is Mike Johnson going to be the guy who says, you know what?
We're going to hold people accountable in our own party.
We're going to police our own. There's the, I mean, it's been

(57:48):
reported. For a while, Corey Mills was
accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apartment.
He was accused of stolen valor by the people that he claimed to
have saved on the battlefield that then on the record said
that he did not save them. I mean, this has been happening
since the end of the year. Are you concerned about these
allegations against Corey Mills?Look, you have to ask
Representative Mills about that.I mean, he's been a faithful

(58:09):
colleague here. I know his work on the Hill.
I mean, I, I don't, I don't knowall the details of all the
individual allegations and what he's doing in his outside life
you have to ask him about. Let's.
Talk about things that are really serious backdrop.
Thanks, Mr. Speaker Let's talk about things that are really
serious because I don't want to talk about the fact that we
might have a member of Congress who lied about his military
record and beats women. OK, We don't.

(58:31):
We we're here to talk about real, serious problems.
Again, If you refuse to answer the question, if you refused to
root out the ugly stuff, who areyou?
No personal responsibility. That's not what the GOP is
about. The GOP is the the party of
deflection. It's the same as the other guys.
I told you I'd play somebody else.

(58:52):
How about this? Why don't you just promise that
everybody has a right to a home and a doctor?
Like, what is the material difference in the governance
everybody's talked about? Oh, we need to make sure we make
healthcare costs affordable. I'm going to go there in a
second. Why?
Why I thought the entirety of a of the, of the mag agenda was
that we are going to make peoplehealthy again, not make them

(59:15):
dependent on, we're going to make them dependent on
pharmaceutical companies. And This is why people feel sold
out. This is why they feel sold out.
They thought that they were going to get somebody who said
we're going to address the root of the problem.
And instead what we've had is nothing but symptoms and excuses
and Jeffrey Epstein can't be aired out because God forbid we
have to protect our government from the people who want
accountability. How do you think people wanted

(59:37):
to see this? Why do you think 427 members of
the House had to vote for it? They had to vote for it because
the answer was is their constituents demanded it left
and right. Because people said at the end
of it, that's why the pedophilescan't be named and shamed is not
a good answer. There is there is an American
ethos behind behind personal responsibility.
This is the opposite of it. By the way, this is a guy who's
running for Senate in New York. So listen to this.

(59:58):
Tell me the big difference. This guy could be a Republican.
I don't think this is just a mandami thing in New York City.
I think it's really important. That Democrats across the
country. Have an affordability agenda and
let me tell you what mine is. 3 fundamental things are just
human rights and those three things are housing, healthcare
and education. If you can't put a root over
roof over your head, if you can't afford healthcare for your

(01:00:20):
family, and if you can't send your kids to a good school
regardless of what zip code you live in, then you don't have the
same chance at the American Dream that everyone is supposed
to have. I'm laying out an agenda under
all three of those headlines. Things like stopping private
equity from owning homes. Turn the commuter rail system we
have in Massachusetts into a fast regional rail system to
make it faster than driving to get around the Commonwealth.

(01:00:42):
Opportunities for affordable housing, affordable housing
production. It'll also make it possible to
just get to a lot more jobs under healthcare.
I think we should have a public option, a sort of Medicare for
all who want it. Having a public option that
actually competes against private insurers would help
bring down costs in a competitive marketplace, I think
is a better solution than just forcing everybody onto a
government healthcare plan. On education, it's changing

(01:01:04):
dramatically. We've got to educate our kids
for an automated workforce. AI is going to take a lot of
jobs but also open up new opportunities, and that's why
you see lines out the door of vocational schools right now.
And yet we're not really set up to support vocational schools.
We're basically having a big debate about how to ration seats
in vocational schools in Massachusetts when we should be
meeting the moment and saying let's make sure more kids have

(01:01:26):
these opportunities that they want.
They know that computer programmers are losing their
jobs to AI, but not electricians.
That's the kind agenda that I think the Democratic Party needs
to have in part to counter the Republicans, to show that we
have a plan to, but also becausejust being opposed to Trump is
not enough. I mean, yeah, being opposed to

(01:01:47):
Trump is not enough, but what's the big difference there?
And by the way, sorry, that was wrong.
That guy's name is Seth Moulton.He's actually running for
Senate, I believe in in Massachusetts.
Hence he was talking about the Commonwealth, which is
essentially anything. Anything north of Potomac ends
up being kind of commie to Kyle Seraphin.
It's just not people. How on earth could you mandate
that government solutions? Is there any examples of when

(01:02:07):
the government comes in and solves a problem and then
everybody is better off for it? This is, I mean, honest to God,
at some point in time, somebody's going to have to make
the arguments like, yes, here's a great example where government
got involved and then the solution was better than it was
before. It's the same problem that you
see with people arguing about, you know, real communism.

(01:02:28):
Real socialism was never tried. We need to get the government
involved in housing. Under what circumstances do we
believe that housing is a human right or education is a human
right? Do these people even know what
these words mean? I mean, it sounds really good.
All it ends up with is people that are like, you have more
homeless people than you ever had before and people who can't
afford and have to live in like in in rentals.

(01:02:51):
And why do billionaires back these policies?
You wonder why are there more billionaires on the left than
they're on the right? It's almost like they know
something you don't. It's wild to watch again.
So I'm not trying to tell you that like the the left has a
solution that as opposed to the right.
I'm just saying the right has noprinciples.
And so it's become so squishy that it's basically there is no
differential between them. And I thought we were going to
get make America healthy again. I thought we were going to get

(01:03:13):
people were going to go and address the root causes.
Some of that has to do with like, I don't know what when we
going to bring back like the presidential fitness.
We're going to have RFK Junior was going to try to go out there
and make sure that people weren't being forced on like
weird vaccines instead. What are we doing?
No, we're not doing that. They're not doing that at all.
We're giving more money to illegal aliens than we are

(01:03:36):
giving to service members for Christmas.
That's what we got for you. The best I can do is give half
as much money to people who are actively working in the military
than people who are illegally inthis country to try to
incentivize them to leave. That actually happened
yesterday. We covered it briefly.
Let me play you. Christy Gnome decided to go out
on Fox and do a little news hit saying we want to give $3000 so

(01:03:58):
you can go home to the holidays if you're an illegal alien.
And we want to give, we want to give $17176, which by the way,
Congress approved. We want to give that money to
people who are actually serving this country.
Roger that. Well, it's home for the holidays
season. So, you know, not only are we
returning those kiddos back to their families that Biden lost,

(01:04:18):
we also are saying that if you voluntarily want to go home now
to your country, if you're in this United States of America
illegally, we will give you $3000 through the holidays to
send you home. We'll buy you a ticket, give you
$3000 to go home. And that includes people that
have not been detained, maybe have interacted with us, are

(01:04:40):
detained and don't have criminalcharges against them.
Yeah, raise your hand. We'll help you get home.
We'll facilitate it. And you might get the chance to
come back to this country the right way someday.
If you wait until we interdict you and detain you and arrest
you and have to deport you ourselves, you'll never get the
chance to come back. So go on the CBP Home app and
get the information and we'll make sure you get home in time

(01:05:02):
for Christmas all. Right, let's see how many people
take that offer. Let's see how many people take
that off. What's that guy's name?
Lawrence Jones. He's so bad.
I remember when he filled in forBongino one time on one of the
weekend shows and he was absolutely atrocious.
They had some breaking news. I was supposed to be on the
program and they and they kickedme off.
So I watched it and I was like, what on earth is that guy all
about? Terrible.
So yeah. So the bribe is $3000 for you to

(01:05:24):
leave because we're ineffective at actually removing people at
the level that we said we were going to do it.
OK man, that's a hell of a take.By the way, I'm also seeing
people and this is kind of coming up right now.
This has been punching across myfeet and so I want to cover it
since I just talked about veterans or military members
getting a $17176 bottles, which I do think is a buy off and it's

(01:05:44):
not that much money for them. And anyone acting like he was a
life changing amount of money, Imean, it's nice, but when I was
serving, it wouldn't have made adifference to me.
It wouldn't have. It just would not have.
But that was because I was fiscally responsible, you know,
personal responsibility. I didn't spend money I didn't
have. I didn't own a Ford Mustang at
18% interest. I didn't go buy a motorcycle on
top of my, my Ford. There's this push that I've seen
online from this guy who I, I really think he's his content is

(01:06:07):
entertaining. It's the financial audit guy and
he's in Austin. So maybe one day I'll, I'll meet
this dude. He gets so mad and he's made a
real point out of pointing out to people that were not veterans
that veterans all get disability.
In his experience. First of all, he's dealing with
people, a very specific subset of people who have financial
problems and apparently they're all disabled vets at some level

(01:06:28):
or another. For those of you that get a
veteran's disability, I don't want any of you ever to look
yourself in in the mirror and feel bad about that.
Because once you've seen what the other side looks like and
how much fraud and waste and abuse goes on in the VA and how
big the Department of Veterans Affairs is and how much money,
if it gets scammed by scumbags left and right, I would rather

(01:06:48):
it go to a vet who at least signed up.
And there's plenty of scumbags that are veterans, by the way.
Like just because you're a veteran doesn't mean you're a
good person. We all know that.
Everybody who served knows that too.
But I'd much rather it go to a vet who at least took on the
risk and stepped up and put their, you know, their, their
pen to the paper and signed on the dotted line.
I'd rather go to them than some of the pieces of garbage that

(01:07:09):
are in California setting up fake equine service centers and
taking in $5,000,000 a year. Go look at what the, what the,
the Office of Inspector General for the VA does for scam and
fraud. Find out what they, what they
bust. By the way, I signed up and I, I
tried to move from the FBI over to the VA's Office of Inspector
General and I got blackballed bythe FBI.
But I think that would have beena really honorable mission,

(01:07:31):
protecting American tax dollars from scammers that go after VA,
you know, benefits and set up fake programs to steal from the
from veterans and steal from from the American people.
I'll go out there and I'm going to play this clip in a second
because I think it's interesting.
I will go out and say that if the American financial problem

(01:07:53):
and the amount of money that we waste in this country has been
reduced to the point where the last thing that we are worried
about, whether or not we are solvent or insolvent or whether
or not we are responsible or irresponsible with our money
comes down to VA benefits for veterans.
I will, I will suggest to you that overwhelmingly veterans
will forgo their veterans benefits if that's the last

(01:08:15):
thing that keeps America from being the profitable and
prosperous nation that it could be.
But that means we're going to have to take down billions and
billions and 10s of billions andhundreds of billions of dollars
in foreign aid, AKA money laundering from all the
countries that we're handing it off to places that we have no
business spending money on. So if it comes down to the

(01:08:37):
$721.00 a month at the Veterans Affairs administration sends me,
I'll turn it down when that's the last problem.
Kind of like I always tell leftist when we get down to the
point that murder is basically dependent on me not having guns
anymore because we've solved thethe problem, except for Kyle
Serafin's guns with a problem mile get melted down into a big
plaque. We know that's not going to

(01:08:58):
happen. We know that's not a real
problem. So this little outrage porn of
going after people for getting veterans benefits and for
anybody that's feeling bad aboutthem, I can tell you that people
will scam these benefits or you can get them.
And if you served, I'd rather somebody who has no disability
get the benefit that some scumbag living in California on
a little postage stamp pretending that they have a
equine therapy set up and taking$5 million of our government's

(01:09:21):
money for years. I'm cool with you getting
benefits for your injury that you may or may not have gotten
or is documented, but you don't really have to suffer from every
day. That'd be just fine.
Anyway, this is kind of like funlittle outrage to turn people
against veterans of all things. What do you do now?
I just get VA disability. That's how I'm supporting
myself. Oh wow.
How much does that bring in on amonthly basis?

(01:09:42):
3832 a month. Is that enough to live on in
Oklahoma City? Absolutely.
I got a house, I got a brand newtruck, I got a Harley like.
So he makes $3400 a month, his checks are about $1600 every two
weeks, and then he also gets hisdisability every month, which is
$4447. 40 Yeah. Wait, what was that, 4000?

(01:10:04):
447 he gets every month from hisdisability.
Disability. What?
VA. You're in the military?
Yeah, it was. Yeah.
Wait, what's what hits your account?
Sorry for VA. 4400. 47 that's crazy.
Well, what is this? VA benefits?
That's like $9000. It's $1200 or $1900 a month
every month. The 9000 was a back pay for them

(01:10:28):
back paying me. What is this?
Is this disability? Yes.
There is not one veteran that has been on the show that does
not have disability, by the way.So does every veteran in the
world that you know have disability?
Because as far as I know. And I make 4750, so together we
bring in around 11 or 12,000. Are you making money?
Oh, I'm a VA. Disability with dependents.
We have two kids. Right.

(01:10:49):
OK, 4700 twice a month. No, I make 4700 once a month and
he makes 3600 twice a month and it equals.
Between 11:00 and 12:00. Are you going to get disability
too? Oh yes, I will.
There's not a single veteran that has come on the show that
does not just get endless money for the rest of their life with
disability it. Breaks your body in.
Mind, I'm old. I've done a lot.
I'm a police officer for the Navy, yeah.

(01:11:10):
So I've done a lot of hard working stuff throughout the
throughout the time, yeah. Which I'm just, I got issues all
around. Yeah, you don't have to explain
it to me, man. I got friends who get 70%.
If you Max out the VA disability, you're getting
something like $4500 a month andit's tax free.
And the people that have that, some of them have some of the
most chronic crazy problems. Even if they, even if they

(01:11:32):
milked the system, that amount of money times the number of
veterans out there. It doesn't even touch.
It doesn't even come close to touching the amount of money
that we write off on one year tosome country that you've never
even heard of. I think we gave $5 billion
yesterday in Nigeria. Like, give me a break.
Who cares? Whoa.
Oh, you're worried about somebody getting $4500 a month?

(01:11:55):
You guys look at, you know, like, I'm physically very
capable. I'm in really decent shape for a
guy in his 40s. I have 3, three bones that were
broken when I was in the military, and I didn't even
deploy. I have GI issues that will never
go away, and you'll never see them and you won't notice.
But I make a lot of like, you know, diarrhea jokes with
friends that know me because it's funny and it's a real
thing. And every morning I wake up and

(01:12:17):
my eyes don't open. You guys wouldn't know that
either. You have no idea what people are
carrying. Forget the the mental illness
and the, and the PTSD and the scarring that goes along with
that stuff. Tinnitus guys that walk around
and everything they hear all daylong because of things that they
were around. So at the end of the day, it's
interesting to see where people will try to like make the
divide. And I'll tell you this, I'll say
it again. If we get to the point where

(01:12:40):
veterans are the last thing that's keeping America from
being like super successful, andthey're the last line of fraud,
waste, abuse, and scammy sort ofmoney being put out by the
federal government, I would bet you that most vets would
probably forego the amount of money that they get.
Even the people that lost limbs and require mobility assistance
would probably forego it. That's just my thought.

(01:13:01):
I'm open to being wrong. The good news is we're never
even going to get there. Instead, what we're going to get
is let's just get you some some money saved.
Let's save you some money on your pills.
You know who's going to help youout?
98,000 year old Chuck Grassley. Chuck Grassley's got you
covered. We're going to solve your
problems by making sure your pills are cheap.

(01:13:21):
In all my trips around Iowa, what I hear from Iowans is the
high cost of pharmaceutical drugs.
And that's why I'm leading the charge on bringing to light all
the work of pharmacy benefit managers.
They determine price rebates andthe formulary, and nobody knows

(01:13:42):
what they do. They drive up the cost of
medicine. I hope to get that passed in the
new year. Cool story, bro.
That sounds really important. That sounds like something that
Donald Trump might tell us about.
They're going to drop the pricesof drugs, going to make sure
that everything is cheaper when it comes to the pharmaceutical

(01:14:03):
interventions that you need. So let's cover that real quick.
I think I've got a little clip from Donald Trump talking about
healthcare costs, because that'sreally, that's really where I
think it's all about. If we had a chance, let's bring
drug prices down to the point where everybody can afford to go
and keep this and maybe the government could get involved
and drop those prices. But instead of talking about the
battleships or instead of talking about most favored

(01:14:25):
nations drugs, we're bringing down drug prices like at a level
that has never even been thoughtof by thousands.
Think of it by 1000%, by 12113 hundred, 1400%.
In some cases. A drug that sells for $10 in
London is costing $130.00 in NewYork.

(01:14:48):
We're bringing it down to $20 and they're going to go up to
20. So they're going from 10 to 20,
which is a doubling. It's a doubling.
That's a lot, but it's a doubling, but we're going down
to 20. So we're going down if you can
do the own your own math, but it's it's 2000 percent, 3000%.

(01:15:09):
It's pretty amazing and you knowthe.
OK, got it. I remember them having people in
the White House when they were talking about Eli Whitney and
they were talking about the fat drugs.
Remember he got, he calls it thefat drug.
It's the fat drug. He calls it the fat drug.
Here, look at this. This is kind of funny.
FDA just approved Wygovy, a weight loss pill from Nova

(01:15:31):
Nordisk. Oh, it's the first oral GLP one
drug to be cleared for weight loss.
And now you can take it in the pill instead of getting
injected. So that, that, that should work
out really well for everybody. It's a blockbuster weight loss
drug. Forget personal responsibility
for forget the hard way to do everything, you know, losing
weight by busting your ass and restricting your calories and

(01:15:54):
denying yourself things that youwant to eat and just having that
thing that we used to call discipline, self-control,
etcetera, etcetera. Please don't send me a book on
this. By the way, some very nice lady,
some very nice lady. And you might still be listening
for all I know. I called somebody who was really
fat, fat on this show. It wasn't being mean.
I was just describing somebody that historically in all of

(01:16:17):
America, we would look at that person and be like, that
person's really fat. That's just what they are.
That's like looking at Chris Farley.
You'd be like, Chris Farley is massively overweight.
He's probably going to die youngbecause he's fat, right?
You look at John Candy, you're like, John Candy's fat.
Doesn't mean you don't like him,doesn't mean he's not likable.
It just means he's fat. Anyway, I said somebody was fat
and this lady sent me something like 4 books on on obesity and

(01:16:38):
some nonsense about how hormonescan defy the first law of
thermodynamics, which is nonsense.
Calories in does equal calories out.
That's just the way it works. And then there's like other
stories talking about how whether, you know, emotion comes
into play, like, yeah, fine, I get it, all those things are
real. Guess what, we actually have a
little graph that will help you out. self-control phase one, if
you put it in your face. I say that as someone who's a

(01:17:00):
medic who used to go on scene and see people.
You'd see the hugely overweight and obese people with blood
sugars that were all out of control.
Every single one of them was eating garbage.
I'm not making a blame about it.I'm just looking at the physical
reality of if you do something, you don't have the self-control
to stop certain things and you're going to have certain
results. God forbid we have that.
Instead, let's talk about let's have a trawl.

(01:17:22):
Let's have a pill. Let's not make people do the
hard thing. Let's not say that we're the
party of self-control. Let's not say that we believe
that you have personal responsibility for the thing you
do. The second pill coming from Eli
Lilly, that was the guy who passed out, remember?
He was an Eli Lilly. Dude just dropped out God knows
what in the middle of the White House.
Nothing says health like having one of your executives stand up

(01:17:43):
and black out at the White House.
Now, he probably locked his knees, which all veterans kind
of understand. You shouldn't do on a parade
ground and you shouldn't do in the middle of a White House
address. But maybe it was something else
GOP one drugs, which can include, I don't know what it
is, Semaglutide, the drug in Nova Nordis, Ozempic and Wygovy.
I get advertisements for this. I'm sure you guys do as well.
Like if you're watching something even on the like a

(01:18:05):
like a Amazon prime, the drug inLily's.
What are these things ZAP bound?They've soared in popularity.
Why have they soared in popularity?
Because it would be way easier for us to not have to take
responsibility for doing the things that are kind of hard.
You know, it would also be easier if we just had a war and
we didn't have to solve any domestic problems, if we didn't

(01:18:26):
have to actually carry out any of the promises that were made.
What if we could distract you with a war on oil?
How about we start off by talking about ships?
Because that's what went on yesterday.
I had it on very good authority.I'm saying that in air quotes,
and I'm sort of like saying it tongue in cheek and on good
authority that yesterday Donald Trump was going to identify a

(01:18:47):
military takeover, martial law and start arresting people
because Patel and Bondi wouldn'tdo it.
I had someone who's not dumb tell me that yesterday and I was
like, sure, bro, and what do we get instead?
We got the Golden Fleet and drugprices are down and we're going
to go and approve fat pills and it's going to be amazing and

(01:19:08):
it's a doubling. Have you ever noticed when, when
Trump gets off the thing and he starts explaining as, as I just
said a second ago with the, withthe Epstein deal, he just
rambles. He doesn't make any sense.
He just says words and numbers and everyone kind of goes.
That's just what Donald Trump does.
He just sort of like goes all over the place.
Not when he's actually trying tosay something that he's that
he's confident about. We're going to get new golden

(01:19:30):
fleets. We're going to get new military
hardware and apparently we're also going to be in the in the
business of piracy and stealing oil from Venezuela.
That's what we got out of the Trump the Trump press conference
yesterday. Here's the announcement of the
Golden Fleet. They've got some pictures and
some mock ups. These are the Trump class.
Come on, man. The Trump class battleship, it

(01:19:53):
sounds like. As Commander in Chief, it's my
great honor to announce that I have approved a plan for the
Navy to begin the construction of two brand new.
Very large, largest we've ever built.
Battleships. You know, you used to build the
Iowa, the Missouri, the Wisconsin, the Alabama, many

(01:20:15):
others. We had big battleships.
These are bigger, but they will have 100 times the there'll be
100 times the force, the power. And there's never been anything
like these ships. These have been under design
consideration for a long time. And it started with me in my

(01:20:37):
first term because I said why aren't we doing battleships like
we used to? And the these are the best in
the world. They'll be the fastest, the
biggest and by far 100 times more powerful than any
battleship ever built. So if you look at the Iowa, the
Missouri, Wisconsin, Alabama andothers, but they're it was

(01:20:59):
similar in size, some a little bit bigger than the others, but
if you take the biggest one, it's 100 times more powerful.
They're longer by a little bit, but the, and they're bigger.
They're bigger ships, but they see.
Is he getting Seattle? What's he doing?

(01:21:22):
They're bigger, they're longer, they're faster, they're 100
times bigger. Did I mention earlier that
they're both longer and faster? And they're also, did we say 100
* 100 times bigger? That's the number I want to key
in on. What's most important is that
they are bigger and 100 times faster or longer, a little bit
longer, but also 100 times more powerful.
The most powerful. This is OK, Look, as silly as I

(01:21:47):
think this stuff is, this is my favorite version of Trump
because at least it's like, OK, fine, you're going to blow money
on building big battleships. I don't really care.
Don't promise me fat pills don'tgo out there and complain about
Epstein. This is the version of Trump
that is the funniest. It's it's a Saturday Night Live
skit that is played out by the real person.
That's seriously amusing. Again, he starts riffing and he

(01:22:08):
gets off. So I don't know if he's getting
too old to keep track of it or if he just ran out of material
or he was like, shit, I got to fill up like another 20 minutes.
So I'm just going to keep sayingthe same stats over and over
again. It's so long and so big.
It's a little bit bigger, but also a lot a bit bigger.
It is strong and fast and 100. Have we mentioned the 100X big

(01:22:29):
on the 100 X? There?
This is this is coming from CNN President Donald Trump's
announcement of a new class of battleship, the Trump class, the
USS Defiant. It's a great name.
It sounds like something you'd find in like a space movie or
something. Bearing his name puts a fresh
spotlight on the United States Naval shipbuilding program
that's fallen short on delivering new warships on time

(01:22:49):
or on budget. Yep, We have like, super carrier
stuff and they're super expensive and they don't ever.
Yeah. So look, if we're going to blow
money, if you're worried about veterans, like they're going to
blow the entirety of any amount of veteran fraud from the VA
will be blown on one of these battleships on the overrun of
the contract. Just saying.
Donald Trump pointed out in his speech that they're having a
hard time making these things and getting them on time and on

(01:23:11):
budget and so on. We make the greatest equipment
in the world by far. Nobody's even close.
Nobody's even close. 100 times bigger.
But we don't produce them fast enough.
He says. That tells you something.
I mean, if we were in a in a moment where we had to turn our
our our sort of plowshares to swords and get to work, does
this country even have the ability to mobilize in in a real

(01:23:31):
way like they did historically? I'm not sure it does.
That's fine. Says we make the greatest
equipment. But we need these military
contractors to ramp up production with new battleships
and other weapon systems. But in the battleship plan, the
Navy's would seem to be swimmingupstream with the construction
of vessels themselves and some of the weapon systems that would
be aboard. Here's the proposed Trump class
battleships. The fact sheet says that they're

(01:23:53):
going to be up to 88188 feet in total length with a displacement
of over 30,000, up to 40,000 tongues with the biggest surface
combatants that the Navy has constructed since World War 2.
They're 100 times more powerful,but also a little a little bit
bigger, a little bit bigger. The battleship, like the
renowned United States, USS Missouri, most of the Japanese

(01:24:14):
surrender in 1945 with 887 feet.So that was actually slightly
longer. It was 7 feet longer, but not
important. Feet had a displacement that was
550-8000 tons. Anyway, I'll post this over in
the link if you guys want to read about the battleships.
I think that's funny. I think it's funny that he's
doing that at the same time thathe's talking about drug prices
and he's also talking about being a pirate and taking oil

(01:24:37):
because people are trying to punch him into these things.
Again, this was the the the big conference yesterday.
It was either going to be announcing a war, which a lot of
people thought he was going to announce a war with Venezuela.
We keep thinking that's going tocome up.
There's a reason why. And the second thing people
thought he might be doing was like announcing that they were
finally going to just step up and start doing the thing that
everybody hopes, which is, you know, who's getting arrested
from the, from, from the so-called deep state.

(01:24:58):
What sort of what sort of seditious or treasonous or take
your pick version of whatever was going on One of those people
held accountable. So we've moved on from that.
We're we'll, the best I can do is give you a battleship.
This is like the meme of the guys from Pawn Stars.
It's like all we want to see is bad people held accountable.
All we want to see is less government intervention in our

(01:25:18):
lives and not paying for a lot of stuff.
And Trump's like, what about a battleship?
What about you could be a pirate?
We're going to give you letters of Mark and Mike Lee out there
punching that out. That might be a real thing.
This is a reminder of why everyone keeps thinking we might
have this like, ongoing hot conflict with Venezuela.
Here he was. This is a couple of weeks back
at Andrews Air Force Base. And then I'm going to play you

(01:25:39):
what he played yesterday. Talking about the oil.
It's not enough. Hold yourself accountable to
your own words. Lucky, not going to let anybody
going through that shouldn't be going through.
You remember they took all of our energy rights.
They took all of our oil from not that long ago and we want it

(01:26:01):
back. But they took it.
They illegally took it. Do we want it back?
Is anybody, is it, are any of you out there being like, you
know what I'm really furious is that Venezuela nationalized
their oil production and naturalresources like in the 80s, like
super mad. We want that back.
Is that what anyone was saying? Did anyone actually go out and

(01:26:21):
vote in the polls? They were like, you know what I
think? I think Donald Trump is probably
going to go after Venezuela for what they did 40 years ago.
They're going to, he's going to make that right.
No, nobody voted for that. People are like hold the
government bureaucrats accountable.
Like clean out, weaponize government, make sure you arrest
people that suck. Try to push policies that don't
make people sick, prioritize personal responsibility and

(01:26:45):
health. That's what RFK junior with
theoretically be about. Like people said, I want to be
able to make my own decisions. I don't want government coming
in and telling me that you have to get the shot.
You have to do these other things.
It's really bizarre. Anyway, so the follow up to him
being on the tarmac, there is this thing that was asked at Mar
A Lago yesterday, which is the hottest property I was told is
the hottest property. Everybody wants to get there.

(01:27:07):
Epstein something, don't worry about that.
Everyone knew him, everybody wasfriends with him.
I kicked him out of Mar a Lago. Such a hot property.
Here he is talking about we're going to just keep the oil that
we took. We're we're freaking pirates
now. We're pirates.
Speaking of Venezuela oil, what are we going to do with the oil
that we have? Going to do with what?
The oil that has been seized. the United States seized 1.9

(01:27:27):
million barrels of oil on December 10th.
We're. Going to keep it.
We're keeping. Where is it?
Are we going to sell it or put it in strategic?
Maybe we'll sell it, maybe we'llkeep it, maybe we'll use it in
the strategic reserves. We're keeping it.
We're keeping the ships also. Roger that.
So that's what we're going to do.
We're going to go and take oil from other places and we're

(01:27:48):
going to keep it. Again, I don't think anybody
that voted for Trump is like what we need.
We need is less of what Trump isdoing.
We're like, no, no, no, no, no. We want more of it.
We always did. This is the thing.
I talked to Alex Jones about thesame thing.
It's it's do more of the things that are good and less of this
BS and the distraction. Nobody cares whether you build a

(01:28:09):
battleship. The people who care about
battleships are Lindsey Graham. That's who cares about
battleships, people who want to spend money on foreign wars care
about that. Pretty sure that's not where
most Americans are at. This is why you're going to lose
the midterms because you're going to put guys like this out
there. And so again, this, I guess New
Year's is a good time as any. We're going to be off the air

(01:28:30):
for a little bit. I really hope that somebody goes
and rejiggers what's going on inour politics.
I hope that people take a look and say, I hope the folks in the
GOP take a, a self reflective look.
I have no confidence they will, but it'd be nice if they did.
And they say people want more ofwhat we promised and less of the
distractions. They want less Lindsey Graham
and they want more personal accountability, self reflective

(01:28:56):
people who say we have flaws, wehave errors, we have failings,
and we want you to be able to doyour own thing.
We want to maximize your human liberty.
Those who are saying no Lindsey Graham, we got to play Lindsey
Graham clip. He told you what's going to win.
He told you what's going to win in the midterms and he told you
what's going to win in the next presidential election in 2028.
How does this guy still have a job?

(01:29:17):
I'm going to give you my supposition.
The reason that Lindsey Graham still has a job is because there
is no actual conservative party.And there are plenty of people
that are super proud to vote forthis guy.
Because if you're a conservativeperson, if you are like the guy
that we started the show off, the 28 year old with Christian
values who thinks that being a moral person and working hard
and having personal responsibility is virtue.

(01:29:39):
If you're that guy, then you're the rhino.
It is an ongoing supposition of this podcast that the rhinos,
the Republicans in name only, are the people who actually hold
conservative values. Because this is the real
Republican I. Can't imagine a nominee in 2028
being the Republican nominee. If you want to run for

(01:30:01):
president, this is Republican 2028 and you're, you don't show
strong support for Israel. I don't think he could win.
To our friends on the Democraticside, I hope you'll up your
game. I hope you'll realize that
Israel's not the problem. The problem for peace is not
Israel. The problem for peace is not
Israel. Israel.
Why does he even say it like that anyway?

(01:30:22):
He just does. That's a real Republican right
there. That's a Republican that has No
Fear of losing his job. You guys are saying slop.
It is slop. That's what they expect you to
eat. They expect you to take that and
run with it and vote for that. And it'll continue happening
until someone steps up and says,you know what?

(01:30:43):
When we said America first, we actually meant America only
until America is handled and then America first before
everyone else. And that's not what these people
mean. Lindsey Graham is not a rhino.
Regardless of what you guys say.Lindsey Graham is the real
Republican Party and has been, which is why you got guys like
me and Owen out there that are just like, no, we're not.
We're not having it. We don't like you and you're

(01:31:06):
going to get slaughtered in the midterms.
This is what's happening next. This guy knows it.
They can't fear monger their wayout of it because none of them
will take the responsibility to say hey, we own this.
Everything has has been said here.
Everything is on the line in themidterms of 2026.
And we have much more to do. Yeah.
But if if we lose the House majority, the radical left, as

(01:31:27):
you've already heard, is going to impeach President Trump.
They're going to create absolutechaos.
We cannot let that happen. And.
And you're going to do it anywaybecause what is it?
The, the, the classic sort of definition of insanity is, is
doing the same thing over and over again and respecting,
expecting a different result. They keep doing the same thing
over and over again. They're doing it to you.
They're doing it right now. They're doing it at Mar a Lago.

(01:31:48):
It's the hottest property ever. They're going to build
battleships and not solve the problems that Americans are
facing. So anyway, that's what it is.
They're not even going to clean up the most dangerous part of
the government and de weaponize it so it doesn't kick down our
doors on New Year's Eve. And we have to live in a world
where I look out to North Carolina and think that our

(01:32:08):
government, parts of our government either participated
in or allowed a friend of mine to be poisoned and put into the
hospital the way he is right now.
And when I talk to people in theIntel community, they think the
same thing. When I talk to people that
understand the way these these games work, it's business as
usual. And Trump didn't fix that.

(01:32:30):
That was the thing that I was hoping.
I don't care about the rest of it, honestly.
I assume that our, our, our financial system's always going
to be kind of a mess. It has been for over 100 years.
Why would it change? But I would like it for the guy
who's in charge of the executivebranch to actually take care of
the executive branch and make sure it doesn't come out and
kill some people, including those I love.
That would be cool. We're not getting it.
So the upside is more and more people recognize it.

(01:32:52):
I have a pallet cleanse for you.I will not leave you without
some humor. I wouldn't do that to you,
especially as we go off into Christmas.

That's not a bad idea. A lot of them, a lot of them

(01:33:56):
still have some very salient information.
I went back and did a funny thing where I listened to some
Alex Jones interviews I did fromfrom April and some of the stuff
we were talking about China and drones and other stuff like
that. And all of that was still really
relevant. And it hasn't been, it hasn't
been solved because our government actually doesn't end
up solving any of the problems that we talk about.
So I feel like it actually is somewhat circular in our

(01:34:17):
confusion. Anyway, you do too, because we
all lived through 2020-2021. We all saw this stuff happen.
We're getting the same sort of effect pushed back on us.
And here's a little fun palate cleanse, laughing about how
people recognize it. We're not just going to go
through and say, oh, well, that's my team, so I vote for
it. People are going to push back
and say it. So maybe we end up with a
conservative party, or at least a conservative movement outside

(01:34:39):
of the Republican Party in the future.
Here's something kind of funny. Animation stick figures calling
out what we all see. People are coming back to their
consciousness, Sir. Did you poison the food supply?
Yes, Sir. There's no mineral left in the
soil feeding them. Negativity on the news?
Yes, Sir. War and death.
Social media? Yes, Sir.
Gender, war, racism. It's not enough.
They keep coming back. What do we do to lower their

(01:35:01):
immune systems? I thought we did that already
with the virus, Sir. What else can we do?
More poison. We'll put more poison in the
crop field. We use all the poison, the
animals, animals and tell them to eat the animals.
This is why you're our leader, Sir.
The poisoning the animals. Train doctors to not address the
cause. See where you're going.
Only the symptom so they treatedforever and we still get the

(01:35:25):
money. Sir, what about the people that
have found cures for these diseases and are trying to help
other people cure these? We'll make it punishable by law
to say you can cure disease. What about the people that know
the truth about COVID? Punishable by law to spread
misinformation about COVID. But Sir, that's free speech.
We can't pass a law like that. Social.
Media to take down people that you would say the word our

(01:35:50):
government does exactly the samething This one said elites and
businesses, but this is exactly what goes on so people
understand that and the fact that people can go out there and
lampoon it means that they can communicate directly to folks
that get it and go OK fine. What's the alternative?
Standing on your own 2 feet likethat 28 year old guy want to
have a farm, want to take care of your family, want to live by
biblical values? It turns out all those things
actually make you sort of immuneto all that crap.

(01:36:12):
Go figure you out and see your family.
I hope you guys have a fantasticnext couple of days.
I hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
God bless all of you. For those of you that are alone,
I will leave open the some rumble or some some locals chat.
Actually for all the people in the locals that want to connect
with each other and share holiday messages, we'll leave
open a chat over there so you guys can pop in and say hi to
each other. I know that this community, this

(01:36:32):
sort of group of folks that haveconnected all across the
country, some of you see each other every single day.
You recognize each other by screenings and handles.
That's actually really special. I don't think it's common
everywhere. And so I appreciate all of you
during the season. God bless you.
We'll see you guys on the other side of it, and I'll probably
pop into those chats as well. Thanks for listening to the Kyle
Seraphin Show, streamed live weekdays on rumble.com/kyle
