(00:10):
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
enthusiast, Second Amendment defender and recovering FBI
agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends, welcome
(00:38):
to the Kyle Seraphin show. Today is Tuesday, it is October
the 21st and we were not online yesterday.
We had an impromptu day off. I had an impromptu day off.
I got to tell you, I feel like kind of like the the movie
Office Space where the main character Peter walks in and
he's talking to the Bobs and they go, Peter, we've noticed
(00:58):
you've been missing work a little bit lately.
And he says, well, I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob.
I'll be real honest, I didn't miss sitting here in this chair
yesterday and mainly because I got to go hang out with my kids
and we had a global event that affected me very locally.
(01:22):
The Amazon Web Services servers are the ones that manage the
broadcast software called Restream that I used to be able
to hit all the platforms we do So it goes to rumble and it goes
to to YouTube and it goes to X. It goes to the other places out
there. And if you guys are not
following us, then you should. And if you guys are worried
(01:43):
about catching the the replay orif you have stream issues, you
can always check it out at kyleserafin.com.
Go get our Spotify channel and that's where I upload.
But what I figured is you know what I don't actually want to.
I don't want to try to fight through something when it seems
pretty clear that the message istake a day.
So we did if you guys like that,if you guys had a moment to take
(02:03):
a day as well. And maybe you guys said, oh, we
had some withdrawals, but it reminded you that there's other
things out there in the world. Great stuff.
That's what I did. And last night my, my cousin
Will had twin girls. They gave birth to two or his
wife gave birth to 2 twin girls and they were healthy and happy.
And that was a good reminder too, that there are a lot more
(02:24):
important things than politics and the, the silliness and the,
the, the protest clown show thatwent on.
I went down, I actually drove down to the No Kings rally, not
during the scheduled hours, but during the after party.
What I wanted to see was what happened after dark.
Did people get spicy? Did they get stupid?
Did they get out there and get violent?
(02:44):
And what we found out was that they did not.
My buddy George Hill had a different take on it.
His take was it isn't it interesting that people seem to
clock in and clock out almost like these protests were paid?
I didn't have that instinct. I think that's what people in
America do when there's a sense of law and order.
I think that's what people do when they want to go out and
make their voices heard, howeverdumb that voice is.
(03:06):
There's people that gather for crowds all the time that do
things that make no sense to me whatsoever.
They want to spend tons of moneyand go listen to, you know, some
washed up 70s rocker who's barely putting on the show that
he used to and, and they want tospend their money on it and
knock there's them out that that's what you're supposed to
be able to do in America. So the fact that people gathered
here at the State House and wentaround in the streets of Austin,
TX, and they did so in many other cities around the country,
(03:28):
great. It feels like cosplay to me
though. Cosplay is costume play.
That's where it's like sort of asexual fetish where you dress up
like something. It feels like LAR ping, which is
live action role play where you pretend to be something and you
go and play out this fantasy role.
LAR pers are often times sort oflike Renfair performers that you
(03:48):
guys have seen the Renaissance festivals that come out where
everyone puts on a a cloak and and carries a sword around and
some sort of armor and they pretend to be something that is
not real for them. That's what I saw, and to make
it something that it's not to act like it's not a grassroots
movement of a bunch of entitled people that are pretending and
attempting to recapture their youth and the protest energy
(04:10):
they felt back when they didn't have responsibilities.
I see a very direct correlation and I named the episode
accordingly, although I might actually change the name of this
episode after we're done. It seems to me that the same
people that participated becauseit felt good and they didn't,
they felt like they were rising up against and they were
struggling against something. The people that participated in
(04:30):
the civil rights movements and wanted to go out there and and
March for justice and they wanted to stop the war in
Vietnam and all of the sort of energy that existed.
Some of the people felt like they missed out on that maybe
because they were doing something else, like they had a
job. And some of the people that have
participated in these Knows Kings rallies are trying to
recapture their youth. But overwhelmingly the age was
(04:50):
very high in these protests and the movement of people's mindset
was not at all. It was people who were basically
virtue signaling to their friends and neighbors.
It was a gathering of a bunch ofold folks that ended up going
home so they could catch the early bird special for dinner.
And I'm not mad at them for going and catching the early
(05:11):
bird special. I'd rather eat early as well.
I don't much care to be out late.
So good for them. They showed up on time and they
left. And the how the cities were not
destroyed on account of it. I think the numbers were
incredibly low compared to what they claimed.
It was a claim that 7 million people in the streets, and those
were all self reported. And what the the accurate
estimates seem to indicate is that it was between 1 and 1.5
(05:33):
million across an entire countryof 300 and 4300 and 50 million
people. So it wasn't exactly what you
thought it would have been when you heard news coverage of it.
So we're going to cover the No Kings protest.
We're also going to cover something that I found
absolutely shocking, having a million people or 2 million
people show up in a country of 300 + 1,000,000 people.
(05:54):
It's actually not that impressive.
Finding out that 42 million people in this country, roughly
12%, maybe 15% of our entire nation is on food stamps and on
on subsidized food costs. That is truly incredible.
There's a story that I have out of Oregon that we're going to
talk about, which I think this is the real scary thing.
(06:16):
Forget no kings, forget people protesting Donald Trump and the
sort of false, the false claim that these people are communists
and anarchists and they're a real threat to the nation, that
they hate America. They probably do, but they live
in America, so they don't reallyhate it that much.
We can be ashamed of them and think that they're silly at the
same time, not be worried about them.
Finding out that maybe one in six people in the state of
(06:37):
Oregon are on subsidized food vouchers is maybe one of the
scariest things that I found outthis morning.
It's over 750,000 people in thatstate.
And it's a pretty prosperous state from driving through it.
I mean, Oregon's a beautiful place and it's not cheap to live
there. So finding that out really
bothers me. And learning that 42 million
(06:58):
people across this country are unable to provide for their own
families, such as they are, isn't that something?
And they're about to shut that down.
A week ago, some notices went out saying that they might be
withholding benefits from the federal government because we're
shutting it down. I have no idea why the federal
government is involved in feeding individual human beings
in communities that should be part of communities and
(07:21):
neighborhoods and churches and other sort of organizations that
should be looking out for them to find out that our federal
government does it the least efficient way possible.
Ain't that something? So we're going to get into all
of those things and more. And some of this stuff is going
to irritate some of you. And I do think that one of the
biggest scams that is going on, and one of the scariest things
is that a lot of this sentiment against our neighbors and
against those around us. And some of the, the, even the,
(07:43):
the existential threat that the boomer protesters were all
worried about, A lot of that stuff is that they were being
conned into it through very specific organized propaganda
that's being run outside of our nation.
And that is truly terrifying, the fact that we have nation
state actors running enormous bot farms that are crafting the
thoughts of weak minded people that think the Internet is real,
(08:06):
even though they have all the evidence.
Not the worst people online are the youngest people and the
oldest people. And I find that in my sort of
power range somewhere between the age of 35 and let's call it
60 something early 60s. Of course there are exceptions
on both sides of that coin, but there's a power age of people
that both have an analog experience and a digital
experience and we know how to mix both.
(08:26):
I've seen so many people think that because it was posted on
Facebook, it must be real. And that is a uniquely boomer
thing to do. But I also know that there's a
bunch of people that are youngerthan me that think because it's
on Reddit and that there's some thread of people that are
commenting on it, that it also is real.
And in reality, both of those platforms are completely
inundated by AI run Chinese bots.
(08:47):
And so that was a story we covered last week, and I'm going
to retouch on it again so that it is front of mind awareness.
Whenever you are thinking that something is real, you should
really be asking questions. People in the street, real
things that you're seeing swarming online, not necessarily
real. And this morning I woke up to
find that there were dozens and dozens of videos of angry black
women who are talking about maybe doing things as as
(09:09):
aggressive as violence and killing people if EBT benefits
are shut down and for whatever that that that causes that is
making them react that way. They are actual human beings.
These are not AI generated videos.
These are human beings that havebecome so radicalized in their
entitlement to have access to the government benefits that I
don't think they would not get aggressive.
(09:30):
And based on the fact that we'vehad such a soft hand on people
doing things that are dangerous and illegal because they feel
entitled. It wouldn't shock me to say that
sometime in early November, in the next maybe two weeks, we
might actually see some real violence in some of the urban
areas if we shut down some of the benefits that our federal
government has been given, whichare often referred to as
(09:52):
entitlements. They're only called entitlements
as far as I can tell is because people feel entitled to them.
So that's what we're going to dotoday.
That's where we're going to go today.
And we're going to start off before we do by talking about
ways that you might want to protect your digital signature.
If you feel like you're on the radar of the government or
whether it be that or big tech, which we found out how much AWS
handles data brokers, cyber criminals, and you name it.
(10:14):
There are all kinds of people that are looking for a piece of
your data. And sometimes they screw up your
entire day because they they fail at it.
They're fighting for a piece of that footprint.
And you can take control with a product from silent.
The Faraday bags they make blockwireless signals, cellular,
Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, RFI, ID and near field communications,
all the things that can be used to track you.
Silent is spelled silent SLNT with no vowels in it, which is
(10:35):
kind of interesting. I don't know why they did that.
It's the same technology that special operations teams use.
It's the same things that we usewhen I was working
counterintelligence because the Chinese or other threats, nation
states, they can all use the stuff.
They Hoover up your data and then they surveil you.
So if you want to avoid surveillance, if you want to
secure your comms, if you want to make sure that you are the
one in charge of where your signals go and where they don't,
they've got really great products and they're really well
(10:55):
designed, which is super nice. When I set up to go out to the
No Kings Rally, I took that silent backpack, the E3 everyday
Faraday backpack with me. It held everything that I
wanted, including a gas mask because I thought it might get
spicy. Of course, did not.
A Riot helmet will fit in there,including all my digital gear in
a protected way and even a phonethat I kept in a phone sleeve
that I just in case I needed to go on grid with a, a not
(11:17):
normally used phone. I have that opportunity.
Drop your phone into a silent Faraday sleeve, which I'm going
to do right now as we get started on this program.
You could drop right off the grid completely.
You will not be interrupted by outside signals and outside
calls. And it's slnt.com slash Kyle
again, silent.com/kyle. Silent.com/kyle use the promo
code Kyle for 15% off and anything they make I've seen and
(11:39):
I touched all their products when I was at SHOT Show.
All really, really good independently.
Third party verified and verified by me.
So let's get into today's program and we're going to have
some fun right now. And some of you in our live chat
(12:01):
this morning are already complaining about whether or not
there is going to be a spinning wheel of death and whether or
not things are working on the Internet.
Yeah, we're going to talk about that first because isn't it
interesting how much of our lifeis tied to one specific company
who has massive amounts of federal contracts and they are
Amazon Web Services? There was also a quick question
in there about whether or not I wore body armor when I went down
(12:24):
there. I did wear body armor.
I just wore Level 3 stuff. I didn't want to wear plates.
I think that's a little bit too much.
You know, we always assess our own risks.
I used to do it for a living andwalk around in crowds.
Level 3A has always kept me alive so far.
So that's what I did. We're going to talk about the
major vulnerabilities that were exposed when Amazon's global
Internet outage happened. And the interesting thing about
this whole story is very little blame has been placed.
(12:46):
I'm going to read some of the stuff from CN NS coverage.
Amazon says that its systems areback online after a connectivity
issue persisted throughout Monday.
But reports of problems with Amazon's cloud computing
services unit at AWS continue. Before the latest rounds of
issues, Amazon said that it had fully mitigated an earlier
outage. And then of course, it turned
(13:07):
around and it did not. Several popular websites,
including Snapchat, Facebook, Fortnite were impacted.
Cryptocurrency exchanges like Coinbase and AI firm Perplexity
also reported issues. One expert said that the impact
of of that disruption yesterday could cost in the hundreds of
billions of dollars. Ain't that something?
A lot of different websites wereground to a halt.
(13:30):
There are tons of different things that were not able to be
used. This show was one of them and we
are one of the smallest little pieces, but I would say that we
lost a revenue stream yesterday.Every time that we're not on,
there's a revenue loss there. They said they confirmed an
increased error rate and latencyfor multiple AWS services on US
E 1 region. I saw a meme yesterday that was
(13:53):
put out by Elon Musk, who has a vested stake in other sort of
cloud computing and, and Internet services.
And it showed this huge scaffolding and it was all a
bunch of blocks. And it was a kind of like one of
those towers your kids may buildup.
And on that block tower all the way at the top was all this
elaborate sort of, you know, intricate towers and things like
(14:14):
this that were all balancing on top of each other.
And it went down and there was afirm foundation.
And under the firm foundation, they were like 2 pegs and one of
the pegs was very, very, very thin.
And that was labeled US E 1 region AWS cloud services.
Our modern world is built on a pretty, a pretty fragile
infrastructure, it turns out. And I think a lot of people
(14:35):
found that out yesterday for thefirst time because we don't see
massive outages. And I do think that we probably
will see some of these in the near future.
And interestingly enough, the Chinese have the ability to
crash those things probably at amoment's notice.
They've been spending years investing in our infrastructure,
understanding how they work. They've spent significant
(14:56):
amounts of resources sending 10sof thousands of of Co opted
reporting parties that would go back and do tours of
infrastructure, whatever they can find, whether it be our
university systems, whether it be our our water, our power
grids, our public safety. I did a Twitter space last night
talking to some people. I still call it Twitter, so bear
(15:17):
with me here. There were a lot of folks that
probably don't know that one of the things that we uncovered and
didn't do anything about by the way, because there's no law
being broken. One of the things I did at the
FBI were were called defensive briefings where we would go out
to municipalities and to county level governments and ask them
(15:37):
about Chinese delegations that would be visiting all of their
structures, power, water, publicsafety, 911 systems, EMS and
deployment, stuff like that. And you find out that all of
these, these infrastructure systems are vulnerable for
various reasons, some of them because they're so old, they've
(15:58):
never been updated and they haveminimal security.
Some of them because physically they can be easily compromised.
I'll, I'll think of the Fairfax County water treatments plant
that I went to, my partner and Igo and asked for a tour of it.
And we said, can you give us theexact same tour that you gave to
Chinese delegations? They're like, sure.
So they walk us through, they put, they took us up on the
catwalks to where the reclaimed wastewater was after it had been
(16:21):
treated and before it went out to some of the pumping stations.
So you're standing there at the tail end of the filtration
process and it's just huge vats of water and you're walking and
catwalks over them. And if I had a biological weapon
or a chemical agent that I wanted to just drop into the
water right there, I could have and nobody would have noticed.
They were minimal cameras. And while I'm standing up on
(16:42):
that catwalk, which is maybe like, you know, probably 15 feet
off the ground and the big tanksand everything else is going on
underneath me. So there's water and there's
noises and there's a bunch of fluid moving around and they got
whatever the systems and there'sall these different kind of
different tanks doing whatever the processes are that are going
on. I look out and there's a huge
grass sort of Leech field looking thing.
It's just open grass. It's a flood plain kind of
(17:03):
thing. And I said, what's that?
They go, oh, that's just some ofthe additional sort of buffer
property that we have for our water filtration area.
And I go, no, no, no. What is that big hole in the
fence over there? And there was a hole that was
big enough to drive a truck through.
And it was chain link fencing and barbed wire that had been
knocked down and then it had been cleared and it had not been
(17:24):
replaced. So it was sort of jagged and,
and messed up and it went off into a wood line.
And beyond the wood line maybe, you know, like 1/3 of a mile
away were roads and parking lotsand all the things that you
expect in the municipal area. So I asked the guy.
I was like, could somebody just walk up here?
And he's like, yeah, but they probably wouldn't.
They'd have to know that there was a fence hole here.
And I went, Didn't you tell me that you gave Chinese
(17:46):
delegations the same exact walk that I'm on?
It's the first thing that I noticed was this massive hole in
the basic physical security thatyou didn't actually have a
coherent perimeter around this facility.
You can just walk up. Somebody probably cut that.
There was not any obvious reasonwhy that thing had a hole in it.
(18:08):
So somebody at some point walkedthrough the wood line and
probably cut through it and theydid nothing because they're
municipal government and government does a crappy job at
almost everything, even when it's your local government.
This is Fairfax County, folks. This is the home to probably, I
don't know, 30 or 40% of the American workforce for the
federal government. A huge number of people that are
congressional staffers that workat the Pentagon, that work in
(18:30):
all the different government executive agencies, They all,
they all live in Fairfax. A huge chunk of them do.
The commute from Fairfax into DCwas enormous.
Or they went to other sort of, you know, government buildings
that were spread around NorthernVirginia and, and, and Maryland.
All of those could be compromised.
And that was just one facility in one really, really critical
(18:52):
location. There are 10s of thousands of,
of these penetration tests that have been done specifically by
the Chinese, but I have to imagine other governments did
them as well. I just didn't work on them.
We found out that Amazon has thesame problems.
What if you can't send emails and you rely on that for
security? What if you're unable to do the
(19:13):
basic searches like your, your 911 system has an automatic
routing so that every phone callthat comes in like we talked
about on our local show the other day, one of our one of our
listeners called and said, hey, I did some kind of digging on
this and found out that when thephone calls are routed in, they
all ping just a few servers thatgive the GPS location and the
address location associated withthat phone number.
(19:37):
What happens when those get backed up?
What happens when you have 100,000 Chinese bot farm type
server farms that are hanging outside of major cities?
And we found five of them and estimates range between 60 and
100 more of them existing in this in this US.
Then what? Yesterday was just a little
taste of what might happen if some a little piece of the
Internet shut down and it created billions of dollars
(19:59):
worth of damage. So when we see people crying
about, you know, oh, Donald Trump is a king and he's doing
policies that I don't like, eventhough he ran on those policies,
even though he explicitly statedwhat he was going to do when he
was elected, to watch people gather in the streets and, and
be upset about those. And in the meantime, those
(20:20):
people have absolutely no idea what the real threats to their
happiness or their safety or their livelihood looks like.
It's fairly incredible to watch how easily misled we are.
We have a long, a long standing analogy here about the, the
attention span of the human population in America is a lot
(20:41):
like a cat chasing a laser pointer.
As long as the, the dot is moving, we'll run after it and
we'll even celebrate it for ourselves when we capture the
dot, you know, even though the dot's not there, right?
So if you're a good laser pointer handler and you're
really screwing with a cat, you'll take it and you'll shine
on the on the on the carpet and it'll attack.
And then you'll shine on the carpet, you'll move it and it'll
attack. And what you'll do is every once
(21:01):
in a while, you got to let the cat win.
So when they attack, you turn off the laser pointer and they
think that it's under their hands and they look and there's
nothing there. And then you go again, We're
chasing vaporware. We're chasing sort of like
feigned outrage and it's not real.
And the real threats completely elude people.
They are completely out there. It's a long standing sort of
(21:26):
argument that I make here on this podcast that the problems
we have date back 120 years. So even though I'm talking about
Boomers reliving their youth andmy frustration with that
generation, by the way, that is a widespread frustration across
people who are in Gen. X and are millennials and even
younger, I'm sure of it. And it was a very different
bargain that happened. I don't actually think I've
(21:47):
actually come to the same conclusion that Ron Coleman
shared with me on this podcast. I don't actually think that
boomers are the root cause of any of this stuff.
It's pretty clear to me that if the problem is 120 years old,
you can't blame people who are in their 60s and their 70s and
their 80s for it. That's not reasonable or fair.
But I do think that boomers represent that that generation.
(22:07):
Of course, if you're listening to this and you don't identify
with any of the crazy things that I'm talking about, fine.
I'm not talking about you. I have found that, that there's
a, a, a pretty strong subset of people that immediately get
triggered by hearing the name oftheir generation.
And I'll, I'll find them on social media and they say things
they'll be like, you know, do better than that.
Don't call out all boomers. And then you go look their,
(22:29):
their profile and you're like, Hey, didn't you just call out
like all of Gen. X or didn't you call out all of
Gen. Z and make all these nasty
statements about people? It's just like, look, we
generalize a little bit because it helps us get a grip on the
problem, but it doesn't mean you're specifically part of it.
So try not to be emotional abouthearing one of these these
issues. What's wild to me is that if it
(22:51):
goes back 120 years, that means that we actually have to blame
people from the so-called greatest generation.
And that's what Ron Coleman actually said, that they went to
war and they came back and they got all these accolades for
liberating the world and making America free and, and, and
creating safety for democracy toprosper or whatever other kind
of nonsense was sold. And then they didn't, they just
(23:12):
kind of checked out, they didn'tactually maintain the really,
really important work of raisingchildren, which is far more
important than fighting a war because that's how the long term
war is lost. And we've been defeated by
ourselves and our own suicidal empathy.
And some of the things happened on the earliest watch.
But one of the, one of the folksthat the, the studies that I've
(23:33):
been really upset about is the lack of Christianity in the
United States, the decline of Christianity in the United
States. So I want to get to that in a
second. But I started digging into
graphs and and charts of declineof people representing
themselves as Christian households in America.
And they do dramatically declinestarting in about 1970 to the
(23:57):
point where in 19, seventy 90% of households in the US
identified themselves as Christian.
And by the time I was born, 10 years later, 11 years later,
they say only 70%. So we lost one in five
households as identifying as Christians 1970 to 1981.
(24:23):
The parents and the people that were young adults at that time
were boomers. That's who was there.
That's the people. But that also tells me that
their parents failed to properlygive them the tools and the
values and that maybe America was so safe and maybe it was so
it was so comforting and comfortable and prosperous that
(24:45):
they didn't realize that they did.
The thing that we see throughoutthe book of Judges, that we see
in the cycle throughout the act of the Old Testament, if you
follow the entirety of it, it's this cycle of man finds God, man
does as God commands, man prospers.
Man starts believing through pride and hubris, which the
Greeks called it. But the, you know, pride is the
(25:06):
original sin. Man starts believing that he
himself is the cause of this prosperity.
Then he lives in a certain way so as to basically destroy that
prosperity by reveling in it, and then is harshly corrected.
And we are now living in a time when that harsh correction is
coming to fruition. We're unfortunately living in
(25:27):
that turmoil or the churn or whatever you want to call it,
where the things we're seeing are coming our way.
And I'm going to play some things about a court decision
that happened in Oregon, which is quite interesting.
But all of these things are against the backdrop of these.
These problems are not new. We are just sort of recognizing
them over the last couple of years, but they are deep seated
(25:47):
and they are long standing and they are character.
And I'm going to, I'm going to hone in on something.
I found this, this clip from theall in podcast, which every once
in a while someone will say something and they throw, they
do it as a throwaway line and itreally, really impacts me.
I'm going to call that. I'm not going to say it to you
before we listen. I don't want to prime your ears
for it, but they're going to discuss the, the four men in the
all in podcast. These are all tech guys and
(26:08):
they're they're kind of like libertarian minded.
From what I can gather, they're talking about an issue and the
way that Donald Trump has come in and thrown the National Guard
into correcting criminal problems in DC, attempting to do
show in Chicago, Same thing in Minneapolis.
The discussion is happening in Oregon.
It happened in Los Angeles. And there's this big push back
(26:29):
like, oh, we need to resist kings, right?
The king that sent his army. We need to stop federal troops
from coming in and doing this thing.
There's a line in here that I'm going to break away when he says
it that I want to hone in on because it was So it was.
It was what shaped all my thoughts this morning as we
started this podcast. So anyway, these guys are
talking about people recognizingthe change that happened when
(26:54):
they actually did this thing, when they actually started
applying some federal force to alocal criminal problem.
Did you guys see this interview with this woman in DC who was
describing what it's been like in DC over the last 40 years and
see the changes? Yeah.
She feels safe. Elon retweeted it.
Nick, I sent you the link on Signal.
Just listen. Listen to what she says.
It's really to your point, Sox, it's like it's just such a no
(27:15):
brainer thing to do. The question now is I think is a
political calculation. Who wants to take credit for it?
Because everybody should be doing this.
Oh, yes. Listen to this.
I'm always got to be the person to say it.
And I don't want to be the person to say it, but Donald
Trump has been president for nine months, nine months.
And I'm seeing videos from Chicago, DC, where people like,
(27:38):
yo, I feel safe, My kids feel safe.
This is the best thing he ever did for us.
So what was happening all these years at this?
Like literally I'm, I've known DC and Virginia to have this
type of going my whole life. And I'm, I'm in my 40s, OK,
almost touching it. So what was really true going on
(27:59):
if a mother became president nine months ago and cleared that
out? I'm just the flick of the pin.
I'm just thinking like, did y'all really ever care?
Exactly. So I think that the point she's
making there is we don't have tolive this way.
This is a choice, OK? And we don't have to live in San
(28:20):
Francisco with our main drag, our Main Street, Market Street,
basically in an open air drug market where you've got hundreds
of people who are addicted doingdrugs in the street, he said.
We don't have to live this way. And he's right, we don't.
But we do live this way in most urban areas.
(28:43):
If you walk through urban areas in the United States, you see a
significant amount of decay. And I, in my old job, did time
in in Albuquerque and I did timein Portland.
And we went to Pittsburgh and wewent through New York and we
did, let's see, you know, DC andall the surrounding areas,
(29:03):
Baltimore and so on. I went down the East Coast and I
saw Charlotte and I saw the worst of that.
We did stuff in Florida. I'm trying to think we we went
to to New Mexico. I've previously lived in places
like Kansas City. I've seen all the major cities
in California. We don't have to live this way,
(29:25):
is what he said. And yet you do, and you actually
do have to live that way at thispoint because there's a lot of
people that chose that path and they did so deliberately.
You guys in the chatter talking about Tennessee, I've been to
Nashville and I've been to Memphis as well.
And I saw that there. Somebody chose to do this.
It's not accidental. And so the solution of sending
(29:48):
in a National Guard, which I keep like saying is, is like a
tourniquet to stop something. It doesn't mean that it will not
actually stop the problem. It will.
But I was trying to make an analogy with when I was talking
to my wife this morning and it'slike seeing somebody who has a
disturbance, a mental disturbance and and they've
decided to do self harm and theyhave a hold of a big machete or
(30:12):
a sharp knife and you look at them and they're fine.
They're physically intact. They are not bleeding and in
trouble. And then on their own volition,
they reach and they deeply cut into a muscle group that has
some blood vessels. Hopefully it's not arterial.
So let's say it's a venous bleed, but it's a lot of
dripping blood. And we go, Oh my God, there's a
(30:33):
real problem. You're a mess.
You are covered in blood. There's all this issue.
We got to stop that. And so we go, we put the
tourniquet on and yeah, it does stop that.
But the minute you take the tourniquet off, it's going to go
back to bleeding. Isn't that interesting?
And what we're not talking aboutis the root cause, the
intentionality of taking that knife and cutting.
(30:55):
So if you didn't get that personsome help, if the solution was
put a tourniquet on right now, stitch up the problem, send them
back out there with the knife, it will go back to the way it
started. That's why I'm not a big fan of
doing the Federal game. I don't think it's the solution,
but it might stop some dying in the short term.
And I guess there's some utilityand there's some value in that,
(31:16):
but this is not turn the corner for people.
You have to change the minds of the folks that live that way.
Did the people who are seeing the changes in their cities, in
Memphis, in Washington, DC, havethose people been like, ah, all
of the ways that we vote and allthe ways that we've organized
ourselves and all of the values that we have espoused, have
(31:36):
those things actually changed? Have we fixed that problem or
are we simply coasting and enjoying the fruits of somebody
came in and did a bunch of work and we didn't have to earn it?
This was a study that I saw thismorning.
By 2020, 142% of young adults compared with 29% of adults in
total. We're not religiously
(31:59):
affiliated. This is a magnification of the
problem that happened through mygeneration, where many of my
colleagues, people my age, my generation raised by boomers,
are also not religious, are not religiously adherent.
There's a reason why you teach your children what right and
wrong is. You teach them about
(32:20):
consequences. You teach them about thousands
of years of history, of understanding that there is a
way and there's an order. And if you don't actually
participate in that, and if you think that you're better than
that, then you will be humbled. And it doesn't matter whether
you're a Pagan and you believe in the Roman gods or the Greek
gods, or whether you believe in the one God and you understand
what happens. This has been a pattern that
(32:41):
human beings have recognized forliterally thousands of years.
Humility before God is required.Believing that you can solve all
the problems on your own and that you can just do whatever
you want doesn't work. It's disordered, and it results
in chaos and violence, and it results in human suffering and
unhappiness. And it's always the same and we
(33:02):
always are surprised by it. The lessons have been learned.
And if you shirk the lessons of the past, there's this old silly
thing they teach you when you'rein in, in middle school.
And they teach you something like to be effective.
If you don't learn history, thenyou're doomed to repeat it.
Well, you're not doomed to repeat it.
It just turns out that human beings and, and the natural
world follow certain patterns. And so if you ignore certain
(33:25):
laws, let's use the word properly, if you go against
them, then you will have the natural consequence.
If you ignore the fact that if you throw yourself from a Cliff
that you will fall and you act as though it won't happen, it
doesn't stop you from falling. And so watching people depart
from a way that has been refined, I think that America,
(33:47):
the reason why people were so excited about it and maybe 1950s
America is that nostalgic thing where people look back and it's
before the, the, the sexual revolution of the 60s.
And it was before a lot of the protest movements.
And it was right in the the original part of the post war
boom. It's really interesting that
1950s America is looked at as sort of peak society and all of
(34:09):
our archetypal, what are they called, like post apocalyptic
fiction, right? That's the thing that we wanted
to preserve in the United States, the white picket fence,
the American dream, the man who could go out and go and earn a
living in the world and come back and, and the, the wife is
tending the house and hearth andthe children are respectful and,
(34:29):
you know, and they get disciplined and they do a little
bit of rambunctious stuff, but it's not really that bad.
It's kind of interesting that that's the peak.
It took 19150 years of crystallizing the lessons out of
the ancient world and then also adding them to the failures and
the feudal systems and the destructions of monarchies and
(34:52):
the Enlightenment in the Renaissance and all of the
learning of Western civilizationunder all those values.
And they peaked sometime in the 20th century in the United
States. We had all of the best ideas.
They were distilled down and to freedom and also following
adherence to religiosity and, and saying this is the way that
(35:12):
we must act. And we're not being able to do
so freely here. And so they, they left the old
world, right, which is the way we were talked about it.
They left Europe, these, these people that wanted to, to leave
that behind and to try to perfect what they thought was
the right answer. And they moved into the United
States, which was a land that was basically a promised land
(35:33):
the the entirety of the Americanexperience.
If you go back in literature, they explain it as being the
myth of identic possibilities. That's the way that is described
in literary circles, that there was the possibility of America
being the new Eden. Today we talk about America
being the new Roman Empire, which is a really fallen and
diseased version because that's the man sort of taking dominion
(35:56):
on the earth. But at the at the time that
people came here, the literatureof the time and the Romantics
and all of the writings that went along with it, they said
things like this is the New Eden.
It is a land that has abundant resources and infinite amounts
of land, virtually infinite for the number of people that came
here. And Americans were able to
expand and, and explode across the continent in that way.
(36:19):
And they kept building it up. And so there were difficult
times as they were carving a, you know, a living out of the
wilderness. And then we just went, yeah,
we're good with this. We're done with these things.
We're going to just say that we've already figured it out.
I was doing a running drill yesterday.
This is not a necessarily a logical conclusion, but it does.
There's a a drill that I do that's called the acceleration
(36:42):
glider drill. There's an Olympic coach that
I'm following on my Garmin watchsystem.
I'm trying to get back into running shape because I think
we're going to have violence in this country.
And it seems like being fit and being able to run might be
really important in my life. And the acceleration glider
drill is very specific in so much as you start from a walk
and you get into a kind of a stutter step and you build up a
(37:02):
pace of a sustainable run as youaccelerate through into your
running pace, whatever your paceis going to be.
And what the acceleration gliderdrill is supposed to teach us is
that we can easily and smoothly transition between speeds and
you, when you run without injury.
That's the goal. So you shorten up your pace, you
increase your cadence or you shorten up your stride rather.
And you increase your cadence and you get to the point where
(37:24):
you are moving at maximum velocity, where you have top
inertia that is carrying you forward.
And then you move into the glider part of it.
And the glider part is where youtake that momentum and the speed
and you allow yourself to to just sort of coast.
You take advantage of the fact that your body is in motion and
(37:45):
you can use that motion. And I do think very strongly
that the time between the World War 2 ending and moving into
this eventual decline is that isthat coasting the people in 1970
that were leaving churches to the point where if you look at
this this graph that we have on the screen right now, this is
(38:06):
1972 to 2021. The people that were leaving
Christian churches, a huge chunkof them were white Christians
who are living a pretty privileged life.
If we're going to use the terms that the left would use, what
you see on the bottom is about a16% non white Christians and
remain relatively constant. But you saw a massive drop off,
(38:26):
20%, roughly almost 20% dropped off in white Christians is what
it claims. They were accelerating.
They got to a point where thingswere really good.
They had momentum in their favor.
And these people abandoned religion for the same reasons
that they did so in the Old Testament, if you read it, which
is that times were good and, andman believed it was because of
(38:49):
him. And we looked around and said,
yeah, we, This Is Us. We, we did all this.
So we don't need God, obviously.And for a while, you can
continue to coast on that momentum and life is pretty good
even as you leave. But as my buddy George Hill
likes to say, payback is a medevac because eventually
things do catch up with you. And reality, just like gravity,
(39:11):
the laws of nature and the laws of this world, they're
undefeated. Time is undefeated.
And that slowed downhill eventually as more and more
people left and less and less people were were being able to
coast on the benefits of a Christian society that was
raised in a Christian society that had that had also had the
default position. That even if you ignored your
(39:32):
kids, the default was that your neighbors were also living
Christian values and that your teachers were also pushing out
Christian values, that your government was being run by
people with Christian values. And as that became less and
less, we became less and less able to rely on that coasting
momentum. That's my, that's my take on
this. That's my strong belief right
(39:53):
now. And I'm going to give you some
evidence of something 'cause I have never seen what I saw
yesterday and I don't know that we'll be able to repeat it.
It's so freaking strange. It continues to be one of the
the the the most frustrating parts of my current existence.
Is looking around and a thing that normally would have been
(40:15):
called bigotry when I was growing up just being an
accurate self-assessment of how much our country has changed and
not for the better in a really, really bad way?
We're going to get to that as we're talking about threats.
There are bad people around the world.
There are bad people in the United States.
There are Chinese server farms that are looking to scam you.
Some of these things are self funded.
(40:35):
If you guys want to protect yourself and make yourself less
of an easy target, the easiest thing to do is to just take
yourself out of the pile. And one way you can do that is
by signing off. My friends over at Patriot
Protect, it's scarily easy. It's shockingly cheap for
criminals and scammers and and folks that want to do you harm
to find your personal information online.
The other day, I was able to find the exact senior Secret
(40:55):
Service official who was targeted and launched this
Chinese server investigation. I was able to find that person
in about 90 seconds. I used to do that for a living,
so I've got some skills, but it is not hard to do.
Your home address, your phone number, your workplace, even
your family members, all can be exposed with a few clicks.
I've proven this over and over again.
Data breaches can give sensitiveinformation, but data brokers
(41:15):
and these people search websitescan be the bigger threat.
If you want to make sure that you harvest and control those
details, go to patriot-protect.com/kyle.
You will have a hard time finding me me that people can't,
but I have a pretty public profile and it's still
relatively difficult to find me.patriot-protect.com/kyle.
Use the name Kyle at check out. You'll save yourself like 15%.
An annual subscription is just dollars a month so it's not very
(41:38):
expensive. The goal is to make yourself a
little bit less promising as a lead for some of these people
that are trying to take things from you, whether they're trying
to capture your identity or thatthey're trying to call you up,
pretend to be someone and take things from you.
Patriot Protect is constantly scrubbing the Internet from all
these things. There's over 100 data broker
websites. We did find out that a lot of
these things are where our vulnerabilities are.
(41:59):
Our line, our online lives are significant and they are
different than what they used tobe.
So if you guys are not protecting yourself with
something, check it out. The one we use here at the
Seraphin household, patriot-protect.com slash Kyle.
There's a link in the show description.
This is what I've never seen before.
I'd never seen this anywhere. This is probably some of the
people that are doing the scamming in in other countries.
What in the actual hell is Diwali?
(42:22):
Seriously, Cash Patel put it outfirst thing in the morning and I
went. Well, OK, fine.
He's a Hindu guy, so that makes some sense.
You would you would expect to find that a Hindu man who
apparently is dating a Christiangirl and that they have some
really chaste, devout relationship, whatever that's
going on. So yeah, fine.
Then I saw this wave on X of every politician that you can
(42:45):
think of on the left and on the right, all celebrating, wishing
congratulations to this, this foreign concept, a Hindu, A
Hindu festival of lights. I've never once seen that in the
United States. I don't.
Maybe I just wasn't paying attention, but I don't think
that I've been out of the loop for the last three years.
(43:06):
I've been pretty dialed in on a daily basis to what goes on.
I've never seen this before. This is a dramatic shift and
push towards celebrating a non Christian holiday when almost
all of our holidays were either American holidays or Christian
holidays. And yeah, for those of you who
are identifying on the screen, that's a picture of my governor
wearing some sort of weird indigenous clothing to not
(43:28):
America. It's funny that we use the word
indigenous, but it's like indigenous to wear.
He's wearing an Indian costume and there's a ton of Indian
women wearing Indian costumes and his wife is wearing some
patronizing Indian cultural appropriation garbage.
What the actual fuck is this? Seriously.
The president issued a memo, a message on Diwali yesterday.
(43:52):
I'm, I'm steamed at this. I went and looked it up because
I'd never heard of this holiday and I've heard of a lot of the
BS holidays that are out there that recognize that are non
Christian, non American celebrated holidays.
The president of the United States, people on both sides of
the aisles, the director of the FBI, all of these people,
political figures and a political appointees are out
(44:14):
there celebrating a freaking festival over a demon God.
I kid you not. The Hindu festival of lights,
with variations celebrated in other Indian religions,
symbolizes the spiritual victoryof Dharma over adharma, light
over dark, good over evil, knowledge over ignorance.
In America, we celebrate that bycelebrating that the Lord Jesus
(44:36):
Christ came to America or came to the to the world.
Rather. We like to think America don't.
We came to the world and died for our sins.
That's what Americans believe. 90 plus percent believe that in
this country for almost all of this country's history.
This is a bizarre recognition. And it's one thing for you to
(44:58):
go, oh, well, like, you know, certain people that have, let's
say you're, you're Tulsi Gabbardand that's what you, that's your
religion, fine. Why is it out of your, your
official government, like Republican?
Why is it out of your official account that you're putting this
stuff out? I'm so blown away by this.
(45:19):
It symbolizes light over darkness.
We have this celebration already.
It's called Christmas, which is an adaptation of a Pagan
holiday. For whatever it's worth, Diwali
is celebrated in Hindu Luna Solar Month, Ashwin, which we
don't have here, which is somewhere around mid-september
or mid November. The celebrations last five to
six days. So we're in the middle of this
thing. I had to look up what the hell
(45:40):
it is that celebrates deities and personalities such as the
being day of Rama returning to his Kingdom in Ayodhya with his
wife Sita and his brother Lark Shamana after defeating the
demon king Ravana. All of this stuff is foreign.
None of this stuff is is American.
And when I say American I mean it is synonymous.
(46:00):
America has Christian imagery, Christian symbolism.
We we are a a monotheistic culture and these are
polytheistic Pagan rituals that are out there.
Other regions connect the holiday to Vishnu and Krishna
and Durga and Shiva and Kali andHamuna and Kibera and Yama and
(46:23):
Yami and Dakhvararani, Narnia and Vishnu.
Look what the shit is this stuff?
Seriously, I have absolutely no idea where this came from.
It came out of absolutely nowhere.
My governor is doing some subservient thing here and all
of this seems 100% interested insharing, like forcing foreign
(46:44):
concepts into Americans. And that to me is a one to one
when you lose the religion that underpinned the foundation and
the value systems of America. I got into a discussion with
somebody on online the other day.
They're like their make believe religion is just as important as
your make believe religion. Is it?
Where do you live? If you live in a western
country, then you are living, you are coasting, you are at the
(47:07):
end of the acceleration glider drill of you have all the values
and the privileges and all of the benefits of living in a
Christian society. Whether you believe in
Christianity or not, it's irrelevant.
It doesn't matter to me. You can be a freaking communist,
you can be someone who has 0 concept of what Christian
principles are, and yet you haveall of your value structures
(47:29):
underpinned by Christianity because you grew up in the West,
period. It's not even negotiable.
All the things that we value in this country come from one
simple understanding. The value of the fact that we
even have a welfare system comesout of the concept of Christian
charity. It's, it's really wild to see
(47:52):
this stuff. And so when I see people out
there that are protesting DonaldTrump, who recently said he
wasn't sure if he was going to make it into heaven, that's a
remarkably humble response from a man who's lived his life very
publicly in a not humble way. And I'm not here to celebrate or
lionize the guy one way or another.
I have no personal investment inwhat what happens with Donald
Trump other than I'd like him tobe successful in the things that
(48:15):
he promised in this country as he ran for office.
And he's doing his best, it sounds like, to try to get some
of that done. I think he could do more, but
he's running into a culture of we're going to celebrate Diwali,
which I can guarantee if you asked him 10 years ago or 15
years ago, prior to being in thepolitical sphere when he was
(48:36):
just a businessman that cared about politics.
I imagine he would have had somechoice nasty things to say about
that idea and that he probably would have said exactly what I
just said a second ago. What the F is that?
We've moved in a bunch of peoplethat if it helped to be part of
the stealing of the American dream.
Because when you don't believe that your that your society is
(48:58):
underpinned by a Christian sort of common expression.
If you actually think that you can do it without Christianity
making America the thing that itis, then of course you wouldn't
mind bringing in people who are Muslim.
Of course you wouldn't mind bringing people who are Hindu
and salivate Diwali. Of course you would think that
that cultural relativism is a truly natural thing to do
(49:21):
because you've been coasting on the values and the benefits of a
Christian society your whole life and you didn't work for it.
It's really interesting to me that there are videos of of
Chuck Schumer screaming about how Americans don't want to pay
taxes. Our country is founded on the
concept that we're not real crazy about authoritarian
(49:41):
central, central, you know, government taking our money and
doing things without us saying so.
They don't like taxation withoutrepresentation.
And most Americans do not feel like they are very well
represented by the federal government.
Most of you also found out that the government doesn't do very
much for you. Like as the government shuts
down, the critical features keepgoing on.
Some of those people are gettingpaid.
(50:01):
How many of you have noticed that, like, whatever Bureau of
Statistical nonsense is not opentoday because that's happening.
There's a government shutdown. It continues on and no one
knows. Does it mean that they're not
funding programs like this? I found this from All In and I
couldn't believe it. I've got so many clips here.
By the way, I I grabbed like 100clips before we started and I've
shown almost none of them. How about this?
(50:23):
How many of you think that the free beer program in San
Francisco is not coming from some amount of federal dollars
one way or another? Money's fungible.
The city of San Francisco gets federal dollars, so it's somehow
funded by all of us. If you go back far enough.
This sounds like a really compassionate way to operate if
(50:43):
you have no values and you don'tthink that there's a, there's a
difference between right and wrong.
When I heard this, I was just like, I, I should share this
with you. Apparently some of you that
might wanted to have a, a free beer should move to San
Francisco for a little while. Of course, you have to live with
San Francisco. And then you'd have to say we
don't have to live like this. I used to live some other way.
There's a reason why this doesn't work everywhere.
You know, we have a program. I've mentioned this on the show
before, but for those who haven't heard about it, to hear
(51:04):
about the absurdity of these programs in San Francisco,
there's a program called the Managed Alcohol Program,
$5,000,000 per year out of the San Francisco city budget is
spent on this program where you can walk into a hotel, they have
free beer, you ask for a beer, they give you a beer.
(51:24):
What? You drink the beer, you go out,
you party, you come back, you get another beer.
So they have all these studies that rationalize this program,
which is, oh, this is a way to help Alcoholics recover from
alcoholism when they're homelessand they need this treatment.
But here you can see this is from beer.
Yeah. So the treatment is beer.
(51:44):
And. Yeah.
And it's backed up by research that I'm sure was paid for
through federal grant dollars because that's the way these
things work. So you start thinking like, how
who on earth made this happen? Well, it's in San Francisco,
which means it's on the compassionate left side of our
country. And these are the same people
that are viciously opposed to a group of military guys coming in
(52:07):
and shut down some of the violence in their own city
because of this fatal suicidal empathy, this feministic
compassion. And it works right up until it
stops working and things get crazy.
The the federal appeals court has just approved the Trump
administration. This was as of yesterday to
mobilize and deploy members of the Oregon National Guard.
(52:30):
Even though there's ongoing legal challenges in the 9th
circuit, the 9th Circuit, the famously left-leaning 9th
Circuit. They froze a lower division
court order which blocked the Trump administration from doing
this. By the way, this is the same
thing that happened in Los Angeles, the 2 to 1.
So this was an end bank review, like the the small panel, I'm
sorry, not the end bank. This is the the panel review
(52:50):
rather. So the way that these appeals
courts work is that you have a low judge at the at the district
level, then you end up in the appeal circuit.
You get a judge, the judge can make a decision, you can appeal
that and you can get a three judge review, sometimes on a
panel review. And then that could be revealed
to an end bank, which is all of the judges for the entirety of
the circuit. And then it can theoretically go
up to the Supreme Court. That's kind of the process as
these things get appealed long. So these are on ongoing, this is
(53:13):
all of our tax dollars. This is what our attorneys that
the United States is getting paid for is going towards, says
the statute delegates the authority to make the
determination to the president does not limit the facts and
circumstances the president may consider in doing so.
Judges Ryan Nelson and Bridget Bade, both appointed by Mr.
Trump, said in the opinion. Of course, that's highlighted by
CBS that it's they were appointed by Trump.
(53:35):
The judges found that other thanreviewing the president's
determination with great deference, the district courts
substituted its own findings, which means the judge basically
inserted his own set of facts. Because just like we see Katenji
Jackson Browne do, a lot of these judges, they don't
actually listen and then decide on the facts.
What they do is they insert their own versions of the facts
as they believe it. They're actually arguing on one
side. So Lady Justice not blind, it
(53:58):
turns out, as many of us have found out.
And that may be one of the most,that may be one of the most
damning things for Americans that are trying to look at the
system. And they say, well, it's
hopelessly corrupt. It's hopelessly corrupt because
the only way our system actuallyworks is if a good and moral
people with the same values are administering it.
We don't have that anymore. We've got all kinds of wild
(54:21):
values. We've got people that don't
agree with you on the fundamental issues of, you know,
what is a man or a woman and what is what is human value
based on and why, why does it matter if we have justice or
not? And how should we pursue it?
And if you don't believe those things, if we don't, if we don't
share that, how are you going tofairly administer justice?
(54:42):
This is the representative, the congressional representative for
the third district in Oregon whorepresents at least parts of
Portland, giving her take on whywe need to resist this.
And it's going to segue into this no Kings bit because this
group of people that are resisting things that are
actually in their own benefit and they're finding out whenever
these National Guard troops showup, the, the the population
(55:02):
benefits from it. Just like, you know, not
bleeding out is beneficial to the person.
When you put a tourniquet on, there's a short, I'm out of
pain. But the fact that you get to
live is kind of like the upside to it.
But they're not interested in doing the work themselves.
They they're fighting against it.
And whenever we take the tourniquet off, they'll go back
to cutting themselves and bleeding again.
And you can tell because this iswho they were.
This is who they elected. We don't have to live like this.
(55:24):
But we have chosen to live like this in the places where these
things are going on. And I think that was what was so
telling to me, men shocked that we don't have to live like this.
And yet, yeah, we do. Because this is how they talk.
Maxine Dexter, Oregon's third, checking in after what I would
say is an indefensible ruling bythe 9th Circuit that opens the
(55:45):
door to National Guard troops being deployed in our peaceful
city. Let's just be clear, Portland is
not lawless. We have been extraordinary in
our resistance to Donald Trump'sfairy tale about our city.
We have remained peaceful, persistent and clear that we do
(56:07):
not bend the knee to Donald Trump and his wannabe
kingmanship, and we will continue to be so.
This ruling must be challenged and we must remain steadfast in
our peaceful resistance to Donald Trump, the tyranny he is
trying to take on to our cities and across this country, and
(56:34):
what I would say is an extraordinarily dangerous
precedent. By militarizing our city and
moving towards a dictatorship, we will be united.
We will remain peaceful. I was just in DC trying to work
out how we were going to get outof this government shutdown.
And I'm heading back to Portlandnow so I can be with you
(56:57):
tomorrow. Let's continue to stay loud,
stay peaceful, and I'll see you soon.
Great sign off. It's really it's really
inspiring. Portland is not nice it it looks
like it had the potential of being a beautiful city.
San Francisco was a beautiful city when I was a child.
Some of you remember visiting San Francisco went to Portland
(57:22):
saw Seattle before any of these things took over.
But as that decline has happened, as that decelerate, by
the way, the the the acceleration glider drill that I
was doing on the run, the end ofit is that you drop off
precipitously from the running speed as you just lean on
inertia, because you can only lean on inertia for so long.
At some point you slow down to the point where you end up at a
(57:45):
walk again and then you have to start the process all over
again. You have to go into a stutter
step and a shuffle. The shuffle, it involves a lot
more energy. It's a heart rate spike.
Then you put yourself into the run.
And as you're on the run, you can kind of, you know, increase
and glide and increase your speed, but it takes a tremendous
(58:07):
amount of work. The reason that that drill is of
value is because you're simulating those changes where
you have to put in tremendous amounts of effort to get up to
the point where you can glide again.
And these people are coasting. They're coasting to the
inevitable stop. And it is, it is real patchy
and, and it's, it's really ugly in these these towns.
(58:31):
They're scary to the point whereI carried a freaking tomahawk
when I was there in 2020. And I don't carry a tomahawk for
no reason. And I don't carry a tomahawk
regularly. I walk around all the time.
I go for a jog sometimes, completely unarmed, sort of
whatever, but I don't walk around fearing for my life.
I'm not the kind of person that looks around it and assesses a
non dangerous situation to be non to, to be dangerous for no
(58:54):
reason. Portland was objectively scary
because there were so many people there that were living in
a lawless way that whatever thiswoman is talking about, I don't
know if she just doesn't leave her house or she's surrounded by
a security bubble at all times, but it's completely illogical.
And all the people that go out and protest against this stuff,
they are the same problem that wanted to trade all of the
(59:16):
liberty that we would like to have in this country, which
takes a tremendous amount of effort to maintain and, and keep
that high level of liberty. The same people wanted to trade
that immediately for fake safetyand the reason why we can't
listen to these folks. I just see someone saying she
lives in Beaverton. I, I, I moved out of Portland
when I was in the hotels to go stay in Beaverton because
Beaverton super safe and nice. I actually really like
(59:38):
Beaverton. I thought that would be great if
that was what the the whole state was like.
Fortunately, it's not. These same people were 100%
willing to trade their their freedom for fake security simply
because daddy government said so.
They have trust in government ina way that I can never fathom
(59:59):
having. It's really hard to trust in
God. Who we believe is like most of
you probably believe is the supreme being that actually
cares about our our, our, our will.
But we don't understand what theplan is.
So that makes it really hard. These people trust in
government, which is objectivelyshown that they do not care
about your, your, your best interest.
And this guy filming the No Kings protest, which by the way
(01:00:20):
was peaceful. And I don't think these people
were paid. I think these are a bunch of
freaking useless idiots that stood out on the street and made
their voices known and good for them.
Let them do it. They're free to do so because we
still believe that you're allowed to do that in this
country. That's how we know we don't have
a king, because you're allowed to protest and raise your voice.
Here they are. But it's an also comparison to
what happened in COVID when you look at the size of this crowd.
(01:00:44):
Never forget that these are the exact same people that voted to
shut down your businesses. These are the exact same people
that supported forcing you to take the shot and that supported
you losing your job. Yeah, there's a lot of them and
they all want to hurt you and they've made it very clear.
(01:01:10):
There's no question in my mind that that's true.
Some of them I'm going to lower the volume.
On this video. You guys see what we're seeing
on the screen. This is a great reason to be on
Spotify right now. If you guys want to switch from
being audio to video, there's AI.
Don't know what it is, Front endloader, some kind of a tractor.
It's at a beach in California and it is pushing sand from the
(01:01:33):
beach into a skate park that probably cost 10s of millions of
dollars to make. The land is incredibly valuable
because it's right on the water and it is filling the, the jumps
and it's filling all of the, therail systems and all of this
like really elaborate skate parkdesign that the public put
(01:01:54):
together so that kids could go out there and have outdoor
recreation. And the county of Los Angeles
got people to go out there and shut it down.
And in order to make sure that it stayed shut down, they filled
all of the, the, the jumps and all of the different features in
the skate park with sand from the beach.
(01:02:14):
Because it was unhealthy and dangerous for young people to go
out and enjoy recreation and getfresh air.
And instead they had to stay home and wear masks in their
house. Was that what they thought was
going to happen? Unless anybody not follow
through on what they wanted themto do, this controlling
(01:02:35):
mechanism, we better make sure that they that they abide by
these shut down orders and we'regoing to fill this damn thing in
with sand. How long did it take to excavate
that thing, by the way? Has it ever been excavated?
I don't even know. You guys find out in the chat.
Let me know. It's a it's a truly incredible
visual on how illogical and insane it is that you would take
these people that look at this is what government does.
(01:02:57):
Government goes and it enforces own need.
Somebody got paid to drive around in the fresh air in a
tractor, to fill in a skate parkto stop people who are young
from congregating when young people were not at risk.
And I think that's why a lot of this stuff doesn't land in the
same way. It cannot land in the same way.
(01:03:19):
These protests. And the only people that are
buying into it, there's a reasonwhy young people are not there.
They remember this. They remember not being in
danger, not being at risk, and being told that you can't go to
a freaking skate park that's on the shores of the ocean, which
is probably the safest, most mobile air coming in from 1000
(01:03:40):
miles of ocean. So you wonder why there's so
many boomers at the anti Trump protest.
This is an article that I found that is quite funny to me.
There's a couple of reasons. This is from Business Insider.
This came from April. So this is not a new phenomenon.
And I found a bunch of really funny pictures, angry old
people, some lady holding a signthat says that a group of
(01:04:02):
people, this was overseas. Actually, I think this is in
Ireland, but they're holding a asign that says Gray power, which
is hilarious to me. Stop the Gustavo bring bring
Abrego Garcia home. This is an old white lady who
that guy would have punched in the face and killed.
And then they're standing there with their American flags and
their North face. You know, their north face rain
(01:04:24):
gear, their puffy coats from Patagonia and they're nice
retirements. The joke is that they they spent
their kids inheritance on 1/3 or4th house that they're not going
to live in just in case they want to use it later.
Whatever. I don't, I don't much care about
the idea of inheritance, but I'mamused by these people standing
out there and lining the streetsfor what?
It sure seems like there's a lotof baby boomers attending the
(01:04:45):
anti Trump Donald Trump protests, says Business Insider.
Are boomers worried about SocialSecurity and retirement as
tariffs tank the market? My accounts are still up even
though they're down a little bit.
They're down. They're up year on year.
I was looking through photos of the anti Trump and the anti doge
protests over the weekend. Remember those?
There sure was a lot of Gray hair.
It struck me. And by the way, I saw the same
thing in Austin when I went downto the no kings protest that
(01:05:07):
happened in July struck me. It's different than different
protests in the past. Black Lives Matter, Israel, Gaza
protests, Younger people seem tobelieve in the charge.
And this is my belief that thesefolks are, they're bored and
they believe in something that'snot true.
And they and they've they've walked away.
They saw themselves walking away.
Their country walked away from the value system.
(01:05:28):
So now they're just left with moral relativism.
If they had any sense they'd be,they would be protesting against
worse outcomes for their children.
Shouldn't that be something thataffects them?
Shouldn't they be upset about the fact that there's not
affordable housing? That we let a bunch of illegal
aliens in that are putting pressure on the housing market?
That we've brought in a bunch ofH1B visas that are taking jobs
(01:05:49):
that Americans would have otherwise been able to work, but
you would have had to pay them more, so that's not
advantageous. Or is it a bunch of boomers CE
OS that are working in those roles that are more than happy
to maximize profits because it is good for profits, just bad
for America. And so that fundamental compact
has been violated sometime between the time that these
people were young adults and now, now that they're in
retirement age. Sometimes that that that compact
(01:06:12):
that America made with its workers, which is that if you
show up and you do the right thing and you play by the rules
and you work your ass off, then you're supposed to actually have
a pretty good shot of this. Like it's not guaranteed
obviously, but that's the American dream.
Why is it that in my lifetime it's gone from being normal to
have one income and be able to live in a house that you quote
(01:06:35):
UN quote own even if you have a mortgage for your whole life?
Why is it normal for that? That that's no longer the case
for people that are graduating out, that the expectation is
much, much lower for that and the cost of new housing is
insane for not that much quality.
You guys have ever been in the house that was built in like in
the 1920's, the 19 teens. I stayed with my buddy up in
(01:06:55):
Montana in 2020 during all this craziness, and I stayed in his
house, which was built back then.
The floors don't creak when you walk on them, and they have a
full basement underneath it. There's no noise.
None. The house was 100 years old.
It didn't make a single noise. As you walked around and got to
the stairs, it was absolutely silent.
(01:07:15):
And I don't think there was a whole lot of structural
reinforcement being done. They just built a house that was
going to withstand really, really difficult, hard winters,
and they did it 100 years ago with technology that is not even
close to what we can build with today.
There's no pride in ownership. There's no pride in workmanship.
Maybe that's because we're doingthis.
We're too busy having pride for Diwali and bringing in people
(01:07:36):
that do not have the same standard of living that
Americans do. So rather than raise all these
people up to American standards,what we've done is we have
slowly degraded the standards ofthis country.
And I hear people on the left more than anybody else screaming
about why we have to protect thedemocracy, which is not real.
(01:07:57):
We don't have that. They're screaming about all
kinds of different things, and yet they have no ability to look
back. This is how I know we're setting
up for, like, cosplay nonsense. Do any of them remember what
happened at the end of the last election cycle and why they
didn't win? Here's a guy that breaks it
down. If you want to do a no Kings
protest. If you're not sure what's a
protest about next, fear no more.
I got you covered. The next time your party leaders
(01:08:19):
choose a presidential candidate behind closed doors without
holding a fair primary, start a No Kings protest.
The next time politicians try toforce medical decisions on you,
like take the jab or lose your job instead of giving you
freedom of choice, start a Know Kings protest.
The next time they silence journalist, or ban accounts all
over social media, or call dissent misinformation just to
control the narrative, start a Know Kings protest.
(01:08:41):
The next time they send billionsof taxpayer dollars overseas
while Americans struggle to pay rent, groceries, and gas, start
a Know Kings Protest the next time unelected bureaucrats
create laws through agencies instead of letting Congress
vote. Start a know Kings protest the
next time they try to control control speech by labeling your
beliefs as hate just to shut youup.
Start a no kings protest and thenext time they pretend to care
(01:09:01):
about democracy but silence their political opponents.
You sure as hell better March your asses out on those streets
and start a no kings protest instead of always right.
Why there's so many boomers? I went and went to AARP's
website, the American Association for Retired People
in June of 2020. They had an article entitled
Marching for Social Justice. How older Americans are
(01:09:23):
demanding change. I thought that was quite
interesting. I thought, why would that be?
And then I found out that The Who is this?
This is the she, the Ceoi think that's what she is.
I was trying to figure out who she was here.
I had it a second ago, woman named Joanne Jenkins.
This is also in the summer of 2020, during the Summer of Love
(01:09:44):
says, as we witness protests over racial injustice spurred by
the horrific death of George Floyd and face down the
coronavirus pandemic. We believe our nation is
desperately in need and healing.And so therefore, AARP members,
many of us are old enough to remember the struggle to pass
the Civil Rights Act of 1964 andthe devastating riots of 1968,
the likes of which we would never see again.
We hoped It's been 60 years since since AARP stood up
(01:10:08):
against discrimination. We championed civil rights and
hate crime statutes and bans on predatory and abusive practices
against consumers and so on and so forth.
And so this woman goes on and writes why people must resist
and draws a direct comparison topeople that are now retired to
the civil rights protest of their youth.
(01:10:31):
Way to recapture that, that excitement of being younger and
doing this thing. You got some free time.
What should you do? They did it when they were in
college. Let's do it again.
She's a former CEOI guess she had retired from that role at
the end of 2024, which means at the time that this was written,
as far as I can tell, it was written in 2020.
She was in fact, the CEO. They just updated this.
I was wondering why they removedthe CEO thing.
I knew she was there and that's something.
(01:10:51):
And of course, she's a very light skinned black woman, it
looks like, and she's very, veryfascinated by this idea.
But what, what the hell does AARP have to do with any of that
stuff? It turns out may have been
leftist from the beginning. There's all kinds of different
references they have here about things that they've tried to
push. I'm not real crazy about the
idea of pushing hate crime statutes and the civil rights
(01:11:13):
laws that they have. Isn't it funny?
1964, the Civil Rights Act, 1965, the what was it?
The immigration? They changed the rules on
immigration in this country and we've had a slow decline and an
importing of people that do not have coherent values with
American values. Again, it doesn't matter if
you're actually a Christian person, if you live in a
Christian society and you believe in all the same rules.
(01:11:35):
This is the this is the point that I'm going to make to you.
If you believe that the West is best, that this country is best.
If you believe that like this country is, is exceptional for
certain reasons, whether you understand what those reasons
are or not, the founding and theideals and the values that were
put there, they're not negotiable.
They come out of Western Europe.That's where they trace their
(01:11:59):
their roots back to. You go talk to any anarchist or
communist or any of these peoplethat want fairness.
What what made you think it was?Be fair?
These ideas don't exist in otherplaces.
It's really funny to me, whenever you have a discussion
with someone who is a hard leftist, A Marxist communist,
right? What do they value?
The working class, the poor and all this stuff.
(01:12:21):
It's like, why do you think thatthose people have any dignity or
they matter at all? What makes you think that?
And they can't really answer. The answer is that you don't get
any of those ideologies unless you get Christianity first.
And The funny thing is, is what they do is then they take the
underpinning reason for those values and they just keep the
values out loud. And they forgot what was what
(01:12:41):
was exceptional or great or why it mattered.
Bill Maher actually figured thisout too.
Whatever it's worth. Like, I think old school
liberals kind of get it. That's why they didn't ever have
the same sort of anger or disgust with religion.
He's part of the generation thatthat walked away from it.
But at least he understands thatthere is something special about
this country. And there would be if we all
kind of agreed on it. If you don't celebrate it, then
(01:13:02):
you're part of the problem. Seriously.
This is a serious problem for Democrats.
Less than one in four Democrats under 30 say they're proud to be
an American. 54% say they're embarrassed by it.
Embarrassed. Like America is your mom picking
you up at school. You're embarrassed to be an
American? Well, guess what?
(01:13:23):
The feeling's mutual because youhave no perspective.
Is America perfect? No, of course not.
No country. Is although don't get Tucker
Carlson started on Russia. Globalize the intifada is the
catch phrase that's really catching on these day, as if
worldwide suicide bombing and cosplaying Islamic
revolutionaries is the answer toour problems.
(01:13:45):
At an AOC Bernie Sanders rally in Idaho last month, someone
threw a Palestinian flag over anAmerican flag and the crowd
erupted in approval. What should have happened after
that is one of the adults on stage should have told their
young loyal followers, this is not a symbol of freedom.
This is they can't do that though, because that they need
(01:14:09):
their votes. So they they are basically
chasing votes from people that are not.
And rather than educating their base, they're just following it.
And the base is, is completely without principle.
And it's also amazing that the old people, he talked about a
Bernie Sanders in an AOC rally, right?
I got Bernie Sanders from the nokings rally.
Do you have Bernie Sanders talking about this great
(01:14:31):
country? How is it compatible with the
things that he actually ends up saying about this country?
They just make things up that they're they're not pinned by
reality. They're unburdened by what has
been historically in this nationso that they're selling this
bizarre fantasy. And that only happens if you
have people that don't have the the values underpinning it and
they don't have any knowledge about historically what the hell
they're even talking about. In 1776, with extraordinary
(01:14:56):
courage, the founders of our country announced to the world
that they would no longer be ruled by the King of England, a
king who had absolute power overtheir lives.
They demanded freedom. And to bring that about, they
(01:15:22):
fought a bloody war against the British Empire.
And in 1789, after winning that war, they did something
extraordinary. They established the first
democratic form of government inmodern history.
(01:15:48):
They said loudly and boldly to the entire world.
No more kings. It's really inspiring if it were
true, but it's not. They didn't actually create a
democratic form of government. They created a constitutional
Republic that actually set a huge buffer zone in between the
(01:16:08):
people, the mob, the masses, thesort of the swing of the crowd
and the actual governance of things.
And they meant it to be very inappropriate, like very
inefficient and take time and tobe filtered through levels of
representative democratic littleareas.
It was supposed to be represented by a bunch of
States, and the states were actually supposed to be much
more, much more powerful. So who was the closest thing to
(01:16:31):
a king that we've ever had in this country?
As far as I can tell, they've all been Democrats and it and I
don't care about parties. Except that's just what happens.
The people who who espouse leftist values always lean
towards that totalitarian instinct.
FDR. You want to go back and talk
about kings, How about FDR? The guy died in office and he
(01:16:51):
was the first person that didn'tactually do what Washington set
up, that they had to pass a constitutional amendment to make
sure that someone didn't do it again because because precedent
wasn't good enough for FDR. Everybody else had only done 2
terms. That was the way we did it.
Boom. I'm going to go 4.
I'm going to just keep running until I die in office.
(01:17:11):
And and the folks that have donethis game, that have made the
increase of executive power partof the way that they operate,
they seem exclusively left. And then they're just mad that
Donald Trump is sort of playing the same game because Donald
Trump is a Democrat from the 90s.
He's doing the same thing that they all would do.
Barack Obama was famously bad about that and said things out
(01:17:32):
loud like it's good to be king. Maybe not.
Who are the people that buy thisstuff?
They look like, I guess they look like this lady.
I don't know. I just I don't know how you get
people to sign on board with this unless they know nothing
and this lady seems pretty terrifying to me.
This is a young woman who I assume based on her age her
children cannot be that old and she chose to spend her birthday
(01:17:54):
at a no kings protest rally. She knows nothing and she wants
to see the current president dead because she somehow thinks
that that would result in a benefit to her or her kids.
Like, we've narrowly avoided a political assassination over the
summer of last year, which is very, very near.
(01:18:15):
They just found a structure or aa hunting stand that was set up
near Air Force One yesterday. And a discussion of that was
ongoing through the media what whether or not it was like an
intention, whether somebody was trying to go up and take a shot
at Donald Trump. This lady is actually
encouraging that stuff. Does she have any these people
have any idea what it looks likewhen we start getting into a
(01:18:38):
time of political assassinationswhere we just kill off the
people that we don't like because the people who have the
ability to do that and and do itefficiently, they all lean on
not doing that on purpose. Does this lady look like she's
going to fight any war? She's about 100 lbs overweight
for anybody that's not watching.So this is your birthday.
So you came out on your birthday.
You thought it was important? Tell me one.
(01:18:59):
Absolutely, because I have two little boys who deserve a bright
future of freedom and democracy and this is a nightmare that I'm
living in and I'm here to make adifference and to be loud and
proud. And there's no other way I'd
want to celebrate my birthday with my parents and my best
friend fighting for our country.OK, so for for a birthday.
(01:19:22):
Present What do you hope happens?
You know you wake up tomorrow morning.
I hope that I see the obituary that we're all waiting for
tomorrow. That's what I hope for.
Wishing that President Trump is dead.
Yes, absolutely. Absolutely.
Absolutely, Absolutely. Did you see how many Gray haired
(01:19:45):
blue hairs, as my grandma used to call them, walked behind her?
She's living in a nightmare right now while she stands there
well dressed, obviously more than well fed, no tyranny in a
park that looks beautiful, ignoring her children.
She's out there doing that on her birthday.
If my wife had asked me, hey, can I go down to the no kings
(01:20:06):
protest? I'm going to go to I'd be like,
no, I'm taking your car keys like you must be drunk.
There's no way you're going to go celebrate your birthday
standing around with your friends, a bunch of other like,
where's her husband? Where's that woman's husband to
tell her, Nope, that's a stupid use.
We're going to go to the park with our children and we're
going to ride bicycles and you need to get on a bicycle and
probably not get off for the next couple weeks.
(01:20:28):
Let's see what we can do about this fitness.
You don't look healthy where's that has that woman ever been
told no to all of her terrible ideas and it and results in
stuff like this same thing this is coming out of Portland.
This is a or a this is a Portland this is a Pacific
Northwest protester 1 is I hope for an obituary and I hope that
Donald Trump dies was what that Lady said.
(01:20:48):
This guy wants to actually be involved in it.
I think this is a man who. Are you going to kill?
Nazis. Who?
Who do you define as a Nazis? What do you mean it's pretty?
In this in this context, who's aNazi?
Stephen Miller. 'S a Nazi.
So you're going to kill Stephen Miller?
I had. A chance, yeah.
I was, I don't know if I had somebody I'd say on camera, bro.
(01:21:12):
Nice to see that you got the, the sort of the pro Palestine
Larper with the the headscarf onthere.
So that's all fun. These people, you know, like are
they are they necessarily dangerous right off the bat?
No, but this pervasive mentalityof being able to say this out
loud and normalizing it, it is. It's growing.
(01:21:32):
I see more and more of it. None of these people would have
said that in 2020, even though 2020 was pretty aggressive and
violent. And I know that if any of you
said that or if I said it here, we're getting the door kicked
down. So why are they?
Why are they still going with it?
You got to grab a gun. We got to turn around the guns
on this fascist system. These ICE Asians got to get shot
(01:21:55):
and wiped out. This state, the state machinery
that's a full display right there has to get wiped out.
The Democrats are kamikazes right now.
They're kamikaze pilots right now.
They have nothing going. They have no future.
They have incompetent candidates.
I mean, I looked at Crockett, Jasmine Crockett.
(01:22:16):
She's a low, very low IQ person.She's polling OK in the Democrat
Party. I can't even believe it.
The AOC is I watched you the other day.
It's like you got to be kidding.This is not going to make our
country great and for us to havea communist man, it looks like
we're going to a New York. He's not a socialist, he's a
(01:22:38):
communist and it'll be very interesting I.
Don't know if it's going to be interesting.
It's going to be something. What did he call them?
Kamikazes. You're not wrong, right?
It is kind of a suicide pact to be able to go and play that
game. You don't walk out of that
alive. You think you're going to go and
kill off, you know, the deputy chief of staff or something like
(01:22:59):
that. And you say that out loud like
that's a death mission. You don't come out of that.
Kamikazes are really dangerous though, because they've given up
the the desire to come home. They don't plan on returning.
That's a one way trip. So people who are suicide
bombers, we haven't seen that inthis country.
And wouldn't it be kind of scaryto think that Donald Trump is
(01:23:20):
correct in assessing them, even if he didn't mean it that way?
Kamikazes. Yeah.
They, they crash into the, the, you know, the, the deck.
They drop their payload of ordinance and then they don't,
they don't return. They use their their entire
aircraft as the weapon. We haven't seen that.
Most people want to try to survive the things they do in
this country if they want to go and make change because they
(01:23:41):
expect to be on the other end ofit.
Kamikazes have to believe in something like a higher power.
That higher power has to mean that what they're doing is moral
and righteous. That's going to bring them some
sort of a you know, a glory and honor Be kind of an interesting
statement If his sort of passingdiagnosis of saying that these
people are not effective and that they're making bad
decisions are actually really probably diagnostic or
(01:24:03):
diagnostic to the to the kind ofdecisions they're really making.
I got a couple more clips beforewe wrap it up here.
Remind you guys you do this on Spotify if you're listening and
you have any issues with the stream, you can always go back
and do that if you have any issues on Rumble or on X or on
YouTube, you can find us on kyleserafinshow.com for the for
the Spotify ad. Sorry for the Spotify show and
then we'll play an ad real quickright here from them.
(01:24:24):
You can also support us over on locals at kyleserafin.com.
That's the way to get that done.I sounded like Alex Jones in
that cadence, didn't I? I just felt like that it was
like it's kind of the Alex Jonesversion.
I I'm kind of blown away that that he's honing in on the sort
of low IQ and the death wish version of this.
(01:24:49):
It's a growing problem. This has to weigh on him.
Dan Blanchino went out and took some credit for some things the
other day. It was kind of interesting.
He was talking about the huntingstand piece.
I want to play that out there because this is a growing issue
when people don't expect to comeback from it.
Like what? Like Thomas Crooks, That's a one
way trip, right? Ryan Ralph probably could have
been killed if the Secret Service could shoot.
(01:25:09):
So that would be the end of that.
You'd expect that if you got up there and do this, that kamikaze
attitude, Trump might be on to something with that, with that
specific naming of this phenomenon.
But here, here's what happens with this.
Let me walk the American public through how this works.
We, this, the FBI is not responsible obviously, for the
security plan of the president. That's the purview of the Secret
Service. However, if the Secret Service
(01:25:31):
finds something that they believe could be criminal, could
be, I want to emphasize, it could be we take over, we have
what's called an MOU, a memorandum of understanding with
the Secret Service where we willinvestigate after that.
I was on the phone yesterday back and forth with the the D2,
the deputy director over at the Secret Service, Matt Quinn,
great guy. They were very concerned.
(01:25:51):
Their security sweep discovered this hunting stand.
The director was Cash Patel was directly involved right away.
I'm on the e-mail chain with him.
He ordered an immediate, immediate response.
I believe we had our plane flowndown there.
This hunting stand was appropriately dismantled, being
flown to our our lab. I believe it's there right now
and all of the forensic tools wehave from digital tools to
(01:26:16):
biometric tools, they are all going to be applied to try to
find out who put this up there and why.
Mr. Deputy Director, big picturehere, the snipers have become a
problem. The first assassination attempt
against the president, the assassination of Charlie Kerr,
the attempted assassination of our ice officers, that's the new
tool. Now they're they're attacking
(01:26:38):
from the top. Well, I wouldn't say it's a new
tool. It's an old tool that may be
used more often by by folks who realize that there's some
tactical advantage to distance and cover.
The Secret Service has had to make a lot of modifications,
Lawrence, given that this tool was obviously used or attempted
to be used multiple times, They've expanded their security
(01:26:58):
perimeter how they do. I'm very close friends with the
director over there and the deputy director and some of
those modifications have been made.
And I think you saw the modifications with the discovery
of this, of this, this hunting stand set up in the tree outside
of West Palm Beach. But yeah, there's no room.
This is a 0 fail mission, Lawrence.
No time for ABS here. 0 fail. You can't have.
(01:27:19):
And the fun when Dan gets to talk about the thing he knows
about protecting the president, that's it.
Some of you guys were saying, oh, it sounds like he's he's
really competent. What I heard there was
immediately we had to praise Donald Trump's leadership.
We had immediately to go out andsay that Cash Patel is
personally responsible for executing the mission of sending
the plane down and doing stuff that happens autonomously.
Like you don't need to tell people to do their freaking job
at the FBI that do that stuff. So that's kind of funny.
(01:27:40):
And I guess all of that goes to my ongoing belief that this guy
is about gone. That's, you know, when you're a
short timer, you start painting where you're at, you start being
lent. I think that what we're seeing,
interestingly enough in that little clip is, and, and there's
another little clip I'll play ina second here that kind of
proves my point. We're seeing the celebration
tour. Like I did a really great job.
(01:28:01):
You know, there were a bunch of bad black eyes early on where
they looked ridiculous and the Epstein stuff and all these
other nonsense. All of those things were, were
bad. But when you're on the final
days of your, of your assignment, you know, you're
about to be able to cash out, you start feeling better.
And so they're doing the thank you tour right now.
They're telling him they're letting him go out and say what
a great job he did with this thing called summer heat, which
is something FBI offices do every single day.
(01:28:21):
The the the step up of federal enforcement.
None of these things make any sense to me.
I actually saw him arguing with with Gavin Newsom yesterday on
on X, which is a classic sort ofDan Bongino thing to do.
And he was making the argument that crime in San Francisco is
down. This is the same guy who ran a
podcast which pointed out the same things that you and I have
pointed out here on the show, which is that these left wing
(01:28:42):
mayors and these left wing governors have stopped reporting
statistics to the FBI and claiming a victory under Biden
or claiming it under Trump. It's silly.
We know that left wing cities still have a lot of violence.
They still have these kamikaze type mentalities.
There's still plenty of people that are doing bad things to try
to say that now that we're in power, we're going to take claim
credit for it when the same debunking can be done.
(01:29:03):
I don't know what's more foolish, trying to argue with
Gavin Newsom about who's responsible for lower crime in
San Francisco or the fact that both you were ignoring the thing
that both of you would have saida year ago if you were trying to
do it, which is that, yeah, we just stopped reporting.
The FBI stats are bad. In any case, we're seeing
Bongino kind of get out there and get another little media
tour. I think this is prep for him to
say, yeah, I did a great job. And so I had this.
(01:29:23):
This is what I'm going to put mymark on.
A very solid operation, Operation Summer Heat.
The summer is gone. I've slowed down the crime in
America. I I solved murder blue cities or
whatever the heck nonsense are going to claim and a job well
done. Go back to your family now, Good
and faithful servant. I think that's worth seeing.
And that's what this little segment is is reminding me of.
The president early on with regards to this crush and
(01:29:45):
violent crime, whether it's in San Francisco, Chicago, any
other major city early on. This is kind of the untold story
of this OP. I get appointed announced in
February, come in in March. Cash is here a little bit
earlier. President brings us in early and
in essence, this is kind of the behind the scenes guys.
He says to us, you know, listen,I'm, I'm a builder.
(01:30:05):
I'm in a lot of these big cities.
He he has just 0 tolerance for violent crime.
He just does he drives around Washington, DC on these OT Rs
off the record movements. He sees homelessness crime.
He can't stand it. He says, what do we got to do to
fix this? And we basically lay out a bunch
of things and his answer is verysimple.
President's like, go get them, boys, go get them.
(01:30:26):
That was it. Like you do what you have to do.
So we got in there cash and I, and we brought in the best SAC
special agents in charge across the country, guys who had
forgotten more about crime and enforcing the most people ever
know they've done this their whole lives.
One of them we pulled in from Phoenix.
He went an amazing job out there.
We said, hey, his name's Joe. I said, Joe, you tell me what we
(01:30:48):
need to do to go get these demonsavages off the street.
Tell me what we need to do. We brought in a violent crime
roundtable of the best crime agents in the country.
We figured out a battle plan, how to kind of water balloon.
You know, when you squeeze a water balloon, you get a bowl.
How do we bulge agents here and then bulge agents there?
And we cleaned up at the president's direction, the
(01:31:10):
director and I with the SA, CS and the agents in the field.
We water ballooned around the country and made get a load of
this guys. This is this is going to trip
you out 28,000 violent crime arrests in 2025 and the year's
not even over. You say what does that mean?
Put it in comparison, prior 3-4 years, the FBI and the prior
leadership, but average about 1516 thousand, we're at 28,028.
(01:31:33):
That's incredible. Wow.
How many of them were actually come were indicted and how many
of them were just deported? Because those were all ICE
arrests. How many were FBI participated
in and not actually FBI operations in totality?
Did he really just say that Theygot a roundtable of the best SA
CS in the Bureau, all the peoplethat were promoted by Chris Ray,
and then he put them all together at a table and he found
(01:31:55):
the best of the people that werelike remaining that worked under
Ray's FBI. Is it not weird to anybody else
that we're seeing this? This is why I think this is all
fake. This is why this is all
theatrical to me. It's why the people that are
running our government are not serious in any way, shape or
form and we're not getting any better anytime soon.
Dan Bongino said it was an irredeemable organization.
(01:32:16):
They needed total personnel warfare.
They need to get rid of everybody that touched any
number of things. Now he's cheerleading for it
because it's part of his reputation.
These people go up and set up these false premises.
He just told you 28,000 arrests,patting himself on the back,
said Donald Trump said go get them boys.
Like go get it like this is a team thing.
That's not how this works. You can't even solve local crime
(01:32:38):
from an FBI level. There's 14,000 agents.
They're allowed to do long term complex criminal investigations
on things. How many of the problems that
existed under Biden still are there?
How much inflation is still there?
How quickly will these people turn around and kick down your
doors when the next Democrat administration is in?
Did they fix any of the systemicproblems?
(01:33:00):
No, so all of them are doing thelaser pointer with us.
And it doesn't matter whether happens on the left or the
right. It doesn't matter whether they
trick boomers or they trick people my age or anybody else.
If you're cheering on this stuff, then you are the mark.
Like the psyop is really it's, it's pervasive, it's unrelenting
and it's effective. That's why it's out there.
That's how you get the same people that cheered on filling
(01:33:22):
in a freaking skate park with sand are now out there crying
about tyranny because Donald Trump is rounding the people
that came here illegally and watching people in our in our
government, like participate in professional knob slobbery,
which is a term I'm going to coin.
It's it's gross. It doesn't matter whether
they're slobbing the knobs of people that are going to be
(01:33:44):
future citizens as H1B visas with the Diwali thing.
Doesn't matter if they're out there cheering on this stuff.
How about this is a little kind of a tail end clip for you here?
This is Mike Johnson trying to act like the people that are the
enemy in this country are all terrorists and communists and
Marxists. Like they're not real.
Like they're like they're somehow funded by something that
that ignores the fact that thereare a bunch of people that are
(01:34:06):
regular human beings like that chubby mom who was on the screen
who actually believe this stuff.They've bought into it like the
SSIOP is their reality and some of that comes from the Chinese
server farms that are out there that are manipulating the
algorithms to make you think certain things that are feeding
you significant amounts of bot type traffic.
That's all garbage. And some of it is like they've
(01:34:27):
actually just internalized it and that's what they believe now
and they're willing to fight on it.
Here's Mike Johnson, like basically he's like, I don't
know if this is a straw man or ared herring.
I can't find it. It's kind of both they're
they're pretending like the problem is not a real problem
and they're and they're making it this lampoonable thing when
it's in reality, we have a godless contingent of this
(01:34:48):
country. We don't share the same values
with them and it's not going to be fixed by simply like having
an election. That's the problem, as you guys
are saying in the chat. Here's Smithers.
I wanted you to listen to something.
See if you've heard this before.Here is our speaker of the House
on Friday. Listen, they're going to descend
on our capital for their much anticipated so-called No Kings
(01:35:08):
rally. We refer to it by its more
accurate description, the Hate America rally, OK.
And I'm not sure how anybody canrefute that.
If you think about what's going to happen here tomorrow, you're
going to bring together the Marxists, the socialists, the
Antifa advocates, the anarchistsand the pro Hamas wing of the
far left Democrat Party. That is the modern Democratic
(01:35:30):
Party. That's where they've gone.
And and did you hear this? Have you heard that before?
Listen to this. Right, Put this up and said
radicals, Islamist, communist and socialist will work together
against Israel, against capitalism and work together to
overturn stability. They're a radical.
This is this, this is that. Was Glenn Beck saying the same
(01:35:52):
thing in 2011? I thought it was interesting
that his first thing he was interested in was the IT was
going to work over to, to to screw over Israel.
That was his first problem. Mike Johnson kept doing this
talking point, the I Hate America rally.
It's not that they hate America.It's that they hate the values
that we believe are American values.
(01:36:13):
They have their own concept of it and it's been forged over,
you know, a couple of decades now, and it's been well, well
established. That's where these people are
at. So to act like they don't have
the same skin in the game or that they don't have some sort
of stick or that they're not real, there's a huge push right
now. We're going to do an interview
later on this week with with Aaron Stevenson, who does a lot
of social media analysis. He's a former DHS analyst and
(01:36:34):
he's talking about to to act like these are not actually to
say that these are all funded bySoros and that there's outside
dark money that makes it happen is to belittle the actual
opposition and act like it couldbe cured if you just did it the
same way that Bongino just said we can just clean it up.
We can just send in the FBI to solve the problem if we could
just arrest the Antifa cells. It's much bigger than that
because people actually believe this stuff, and millions of them
(01:36:56):
do. And I'll show you one more thing
in a second here with the EBT thing, because I think that's
why, when you've made so many people reliant on this
government and made them think that the job of the government
is to make sure that they stay alive versus what most of us
think, which is that we're supposed to work for a living
and we begrudgingly have to givea piece of our paycheck to the
government, that's a totally different animal.
We're dealing with very, very different types of people in
(01:37:17):
this country and we are no longer ideologically compatible
because we've lost the fundamental underpinnings of
what those values came from. By the way, the Catholic Church
was a big chunk of that. And the Marxist liberation
theology that came in, came out of Latin America in the in the
80s and then started pervading here and got here in the 90s.
In the early 2000s. It was a big, big purveyor of
it. So my church is a big problem of
(01:37:37):
this. But to make light of it and act
like it's not a real thing to tocall them the Hate America rally
is really it's silly and it is it is not taking them as
seriously as Donald Trump accidentally did calling them
kamikazes. I'm joined now by the speaker of
the House, Mike Johnson, right here in the studio.
Speaker Johnson, thank you for joining us.
Glad to be with you. Thanks.
So let's start with the No Kingsrallies.
(01:37:58):
You called these Hate America rallies.
What do you mean by that? Well, that collection of folks
that I listed were certainly part of it.
We congratulate them on a apparently violent free free
speech exercise that was the First Amendment lawyer for 20
years. We defend that right.
But the irony of the message is pretty clear for everyone.
If President Trump was a king, the government would be open
right now. If President Trump was a king,
(01:38:19):
they would not have been able toengage in that free speech
exercise out on the Mall, by theway, which was open because
President Trump hasn't closed it.
In the last shutdown, 2013 era, President Obama closed the
National Mall. It closed all the national
parks, didn't allow people to engage in all this.
So I mean, it's they needed a stunt.
They needed a show. Chuck Schumer has needs cover
right now. He's closed the government down
(01:38:41):
because he needs political cover.
And this was a part of it. All right, The scariest thing
that I see is that you're going to act like these people are not
serious and then you're going todo the thing that's going to
really 'cause some serious actions.
Here's a story from KATU 2 ABC News out of Oregon.
Approximately 757,000 Oregonianscould lose SNAP benefits in
(01:39:05):
November. 3/4 of a million people in Oregon receive food
assistance through the Supplemental Nutrition
Assistance Program, or SNAP, andthey could lose their benefits
starting in November. The Oregon Department of Health
and Human Services started notifying families on Monday
that they would not receive SNAPbenefits after October the 31st.
The House Committee on Agriculture pulled out a tweet
(01:39:27):
this morning that had 600 views when I saw it.
Nobody saw this saying that 42,000,000 Americans depend on
federal government food subsidies to feed their
families. And my feed is completely
inundated with people that are talking about escalating
versions of violence like this. And so this is where I think the
(01:39:50):
rubber meets the road. When you start acting like these
are not real human beings out there who have been cultivated
to believe certain things and, and feel entitled to the
benefits they've had, that's when things are going to get
real, real screwy. And so this may be a real spicy
next couple weeks. This is my take on it.
I, I, I'll be happy to find out.Otherwise.
They'll probably open the government again and fund
everything. That's usually what happens.
(01:40:10):
But check out a couple of these videos which we should make you
a little bit concerned. Hey, TikTok.
So I was scrolling to TikTok andI just saw that next month a
slow class. People, you know, are lower
class. We ain't going to get no more
fucking food stamps. Let me tell you.
(01:40:31):
You know how many people I have seen saying that they're going
to go to Walmart and steal like they don't know that we don't
give a fuck. Like, you know, you're going to
give us food or we're going to take them.
Why are they doing this? Like why are they trying us like
this? Like come on now we're trying to
survive out here and the way that we survive is by taking
(01:40:54):
shit. So get it together.
Get it together MAGA because y'all mother fuckers are the
ones that have more food that need more food stamps than us
Latino and blacks. So good luck to ya.
And you voted for this? She's drinking some sort of
store bought juice, which I don't think that I generally
(01:41:16):
consider myself able to afford. And that woman is 200 lbs
overweight. That's that's fairly incredible
to be on food stamps and to havethat sort of weight.
And this is not the this is not a unique experience.
We're going to show you a coupleof them.
So here's a few of these people.Again, that woman out there
making sort of claims, we'll just go and steal it.
This is where it gets weird because if that were to take
(01:41:39):
like to act like those are not real people, there's too many of
these videos gone out and of course they have huge amounts of
viral views where people are like, oh, got it, it's been
normalized. That's a real possibility.
I just. Got to learn from my EBT app
November. No benefits.
I got 7 kids 7. What do they expect me to do?
We can't even buy cereal. 42 million people are on these
(01:42:02):
benefits. Just find out there's no EBT
next month, my heart. There's no EBT next month.
What is this pumpkin man doing bro?
Why the fuck we got to starve on10th given?
Are you dead odd monkey man? It's like yo, it just like you
got to like why the fuck there'sno ABC next month?
Why the fuck November though? It couldn't be January,
(01:42:24):
February, March it why the fuck does it have to be November?
Why November? Yo no, that's the fact that
Trump they keep doing something by not giving food stamps next
month. Like bitches don't have purses
and bags, bitch. We're gonna eat and we're gonna
eat good on your dime, ho. Yeah, on the big corporations
(01:42:46):
dime. Cause what fools not ain't
stopping no motherfucking show. You wait and see how hungry
people get and see what the fuckhappened.
Bitch, let me tell you something, dumb, dumb junkies
that be on bottom on North Avenue is going to have a field
motherfucking day they gonna make their money on.
OK? You ain't stopping shit.
(01:43:07):
OK, 'cause as long as I got a purse, I'll call bitch.
Some call keys. My baby's just going to eat if I
have to. I'm gonna do what I gotta do.
Catch me if you can. I went from having $1100 EBT
every month and that was just with four children to 0 now.
(01:43:27):
How the fuck am I gonna feed my children?
Was the first thing that came tomy mind.
Then my inner voice was like, girl, you been feeding me.
Sure. And with or without food stamps,
before you got food stamps so you could still do it.
Like I told you, I was gonna take you out to a food bank with
me. When I tell y'all, I just left a
community event, I'm about to goto another one.
(01:43:48):
I came home to take a break 'cause baby, it's hot out there.
I told my children to Google some food banks that may be open
or may be open next week. You know so I could take you out
with me when I tell you they googled it and they was taking
me there. They was GPS ING me tell me why
I pulled up at the food bank in with no food bank.
So y'all got to be careful what Agps take out 'cause I went to
(01:44:11):
the food bank and it was nothingthere but I abandoned building
on the other side but the dot what up the pen where the food
bank supposed to be at? It looked like what Pennywise
live at. I don't know what any of that
means. I couldn't understand most of
what you just heard, but I figured I'd share it with you,
'cause there's 42 million peoplein this country that are
(01:44:31):
catching subsidies that may not starting on November 1st, and
people get pretty desperate whenthey can't feed their kids.
There's a lot of them that have a lot more threats of violence
in there. So I went ahead and held off on
those. All these people seem like
they're able to record. They all have a phone, they all
have like houses that they can live in, and they all seem like
they probably have the ability to go out and get a job.
Do that, You know, life's hard. It's a lot harder when you make
(01:44:54):
bad decisions, it turns out, if you don't actually have the
values that would underpin you making good and responsible
decisions. And if you have not been part of
the community that wants to support you when you fall on
hard times or bad times. When you actually have real
neighbors that know your name and know what's going on with
you or people that are within your church structure that will
step up and raise money for you or help feed you on, on
(01:45:16):
momentary times of, of, of difficulty.
We shouldn't need a federal government to support 12% or 15%
of our entire national population.
Because all that means is that for every dollar that you make,
a huge chunk of like what what you're paying into theoretically
for what the military, for federal law enforcement, for
(01:45:37):
border, for air traffic control and things like that.
Highway systems, like a chunk ofthat is being siphoned off to go
feed people that look like they don't need to eat for a couple
of weeks minimum. It's just, I don't know, it's
wild. And all these people, as you
guys have pointed out, they've got hair and they've got nails
and they've got cosmetics and they've got all these sort of
like non necessary accoutrement.It's bad decision theater.
(01:46:01):
So I don't know. We're subsidizing that at a
really terrible level. And that's because we don't have
the values that we used to have in this country.
Like, I don't know why hard workand and and doing without my my
kids are reading the the Laura Ingalls Wilder stories and all
the things that those families had to do that where the dad
wouldn't eat because it was the right thing to do to make sure
his kids that I don't want that for anybody.
But same time, like that was American and an American
(01:46:22):
experience when there were people that were actually out
there just carving out a living.We have it so good right now
that we're coasting into some real hard times again.
So we'll probably get to see what that looks like on the
other end at some point. All right, that's what I've got
for today. That's a lot.
That's a heavy thing. This is what happens when I
don't do a show for one. Thanks so much for watching.

there. Can I say that?
