Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and
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
(00:39):
today's Kyle Serif and show. It is Friday, December the 19th
and we are doing episode #700 that seems like a lot.
It feels like a lot. I feel like I've been doing this
for a while. I forget that I had a whole life
before all of that, and I also had some friends before all
that, but a lot of them disappeared it turns out.
Especially if they work for the FBI.
(01:00):
Luckily, I've had some other friends step into their places.
And one of those people is a guynamed Steve Friend who will be
joining us for the return of Friendly Friday.
We're going to be going over a whistleblower disclosure.
We're going to be talking about immigration, ICE, some of the
stupid leftist pushback against the basic laws in this country,
which should be defending us, which is kind of crazy to think
about. We've got a a judge in Milwaukee
(01:23):
who's found guilty of obstructing the federal
investigations. Turns out you can't do that kind
of stuff. And I think that we're going to
drop some news on you about the Brown shooter.
The MIT shooter found dead last night, which didn't hear that.
Now you have this person was aided by the same sentiment that
that judge executed outside of her courtroom.
(01:45):
And so there is sort of this kind of looniness, also some
critically bad numbers for Democrats about other Democrats.
It doesn't really matter what you think about them.
It matters what they think aboutthem and the people that are
otherwise going to vote for them.
Not a great sign for that. Inflation down.
A couple of the little things we'll talk about.
And then we're going to hone in on this whistleblower
disclosure, which comes from ourbuddies, T friends.
(02:06):
So we don't have to hide it. We don't have to tell you
anything that's crazy. We can actually have the
whistleblower himself talk aboutit.
And it is in fact a whistleblower disclosure because
we're talking about a violation of rule, policy or law by our
federal government. So what's new?
Nothing, nothing is new under the sun.
All right, So we're going to do that and we're going to do some
fun things as we wait. A little veiled threat from our
friends at the Bongino Army coming in and Jim Verde, the one
(02:30):
time guest of our program and generally a nice guy, decided
that he was going to put something out on social media
which is kind of ugly. Going to warn you guys on
Rumble. We may not be on Rumble all that
long for all I know, and we'll talk about that in a moment.
Before we do. My friends over at Patriot

here. So very appreciative of them.
Let's get into today's program starting very quickly right now,
(04:03):
OK? A lot of ground to cover, a lot
of video clips to play with, quick kind of discussion on the
Rumble thing. I'll have Steve come on and talk
about it and let him interpret and see what he thinks as well.
But essentially it was a claim that by posting a meme of Dan
Bongino on social media where hevanquishes foes on the regular
but also blocks anybody that says something that's not nice,
(04:26):
that they're going to handle it.And I'll let you guys decide as
an audience what that means. But there I think there's a
decent chance that Rumble decides to come after us.
Until they do, we're going to bebringing Steve Friend on this
program. And there it is.
That's the walk out music. Good morning, Mr. C Friend.
Good morning, my good friend Kyle Seraphin podcasting.
(04:48):
Extraordinary sensation. Congratulations on episode #700.
My question to you, Sir, is, is it possible you've spent more
time behind that microphone overthe 700 episodes than Dan
Bongino spent as a deputy director of the FBI?
Oh, 100%, yeah. Yeah, I think so.
Now, I think that's actually 100% true, Morris.
(05:09):
Gave up a big nugget. That is a big nugget right
there, Steve. Yeah, it's not a good sign when
you've when you've not even outlasted your own probation
period. You didn't last as long as the
CHS admonishment. What are the things are about a
year. Most people that were in the
military have deployed longer than Dan Bongino showed up to
Washington DC and they gave a lot less tears for doing it.
(05:30):
I accrued more sick time than Dan Bongino actually sat in that
office. That's probably true, too.
All right, buddy, you, you just got unceremoniously booted to
the curb. Did you ever really believe that
you were going back just so you could share people with the
private conversations we had look like?
No, no, I mean I knew it was a fate of complete with.
(05:51):
The only question was how long it was going to be and how
retarded they were going to be in their efforts to bring about
my ultimate demise and removal from their operation there.
And true to form, they kind of effed up on the process and the
procedure, which is now in the hands of Thomas Massey, to find
out just exactly what they did. And, and look, on a personal
note, they really, really messedup because they made my wife
(06:14):
upset. And that means that I'm not just
Unchained by them. But now I'm really, really
focused in. And that's not a veiled threat
against anybody's safety. I will, however, wet myself
laughing when Dan Bongino exits and Kash Patel falls quickly
behind him. I think that's true.
I think that's the only thing that's going to end up
happening. Let's go to this whistleblower
complaint first. Actually, I was going to go to
(06:35):
some other things. Like I said, we'll touch
inflation, we'll touch the judge.
I think that's all fun. Let's start with this.
This is your whistleblower complaint, which went to Thomas
Massie and Jim Jordan. Jim Jordan's your favorite, I
think. Look, we stay in regular contact
and if we mean regular contact, it would be May of 2023.
(06:56):
That's right. All right.
You want to go through some of the stuff here and I'll I'll let
you read some of it and then we'll explain it as we go.
Yeah, well, I mean, hat tip, certainly big hat tip to Kurt
Souzdak, who came to to my aid and just has a a wealth of
knowledge and his contacts there.
So he was able to help me put this on the paper and it sort of
just regales the congressman with exactly what happened to
(07:17):
me. So I was reinstated by the FBI
after our December 5th podcast, which was pretty viral when we
talked about the pipe bomb beinga problem, the the subject,
Brian Cole being not necessarilythe subject who actually did
those things. And then Empower Oversight fired
me as a client immediately afterthat.
(07:38):
And then that takes us into the weekend.
December 7th was Sunday around 5:00 PMI got a call and it said
you have to be in the office tomorrow because you're no
longer on administrative leave. And I'd had no contact of any
sort of like formal reinstatement.
And they said, well, you're freeto use your vacation time, which
you don't know how much you havebecause you can't access the
(07:58):
employee portal, but you also have to come in if you don't
want to use your vacation time that you don't know if you have
it or not. So I said, all right, I'll come
in. So they pick me up at my house
in Daytona, drove me 90 miles toJacksonville where I was
informed that I don't have a security clearance, therefore I
can't have access to the bureau's computer systems.
(08:21):
Classified, unclassified. I can't walk around the building
unaccompanied. I'm essentially A prisoner being
babysat. I can't have a firearm.
But congratulations, here's a badge and credentials.
So I, I, maybe I'm the first unarmed FBI agent since the J
Edgar Hoover days. Certainly legendary in that I
issued a quote veiled threat against the director of the FBI
(08:41):
and received a badge and credentials 72 hours later.
Well, let's let's read through this just a bit here.
First of all, the on the screen right now for folks to see.
This is a screenshot from the actual signed agreement that you
have with the Department of Justice, which is representing
the power of the the presidency.Deputy attorney general signed
on this. So that's the number two over at
DOJ, somebody who outranks everybody at the FBI as far as
(09:02):
we can tell. As far as what goes on.
Reinstate employee as special agent effective September 19,
2022, within 30 days from the effective date of this
agreement. When was the agreement signed?
August 26th, which would have meant September 25th of 2025,
was 30 days. OK, so that was the requirement.
Reinstate and that did obviouslynot happen in a position of
mutually agreed by the parties. Do they agree with you on a on a
(09:25):
location and and job? Ultimately it was going to be in
Daytona, so didn't have to move to save them money and that was
what they hope was going to be and there was no assignment
though at that point. Got it.
The geographical assignment shall be the Jacksonville field
office Daytona Beach resident agency effective the date that
he resigned to the FBI the same grade and step that he would
have had he never resigned. So they should have reinstated
(09:47):
you as AGS 13 Step 5. And within six months, if within
six months after rehire, the employee is eligible to obtain
assignment to another agency, then the agency will facilitate.
So this was if you wanted to go to something like ODNI or if you
wanted to go over to the Marshall Service or if you
wanted to go over to like, I don't know, DHS or HSI or
something. Is that right?
That was sort of like, hey, we won't stand in your way.
(10:08):
In fact, we'll make a phone callover there because we really
want to be rid of you. And that was the kind of the
gentleman's agreement. Of course, it was a gentleman's
agreement that was agreed to by representatives of DOJ and my
attorneys at the time, Tristan Levitt, Jason Foster, who I
think you can make a fair case. We're probably colluding with
each other. And the government is what we're
getting at. They were working on behalf of
(10:29):
the government, not necessarily your interest.
All right, so the FBI refused toabide by the settlement terms.
People can see that on here. They took no action until 74
days after the settlement agreement passed.
So that's 74 days plus the 30, correct?
And then Cash Patel personally terminated Mr. Friend five days
later. So they hired you to fire you.
If anybody believes that, but they make false claims.
They claim that they had reinstated you even though you
(10:51):
guys go through how bad it was done.
Suzdak uses the words FB is bad faith.
I think that's right. So 74 days you were given an
inoperable badge. So your badge didn't work on the
doors, is that right? That's right, they told me that
doesn't work. But this way you don't have to
clip on a visitor badge. You can kind of look like you're
part of our team. Even though you still need an
escort by FBI policy. Yes.
(11:11):
OK, got it. OK, old set of credentials.
They gave you your old creds back.
Yes, number 25327. They were they required that you
be guarded while you're in the facility AKA escorted.
So they had to tie up another employee if you were physically
going to even be on the, on the,the facilities or in, in the
federal space, right? Yeah, yeah.
I mean, which seems like a wasteof resources, particularly
(11:34):
because it wasn't even like theycould assign me to the person's
desk while they were doing work because they couldn't view what
they were doing because I didn'thave the security code.
OK, I like this. They brought you back from admin
duties or admin leave, but they didn't have any work for you to
do and they didn't have any duties for you to be assigned
to. Nothing, nothing.
I mean they, they. Brought you back and said use
your own leave. Yeah, they said eventually that
(11:56):
I had over 400 hours of vacationtime that had to be used in the
next 12 months, so they suggested I liberally apply it.
'Cause you had three months worth of that.
OK. Provided you no service weapon,
which FBI agents are required tocarry on duty.
That's obvious. And I don't think you can do the
duty without it. I don't think there's there's
there's the so-called rubber gunsquad, but nobody actually gives
you a rubber gun. If you get pulled, then you get
moved to some admin duties. I don't think you're.
(12:18):
The only who wears a badge and no gun is the director of the
FBI. Well, he carries a gun too,
let's be real. All right, so they refused to
give you access to classified orunclassified terminals.
They didn't even give you a cellphone so they can communicate
with you. That's that's pretty funny
because the cell phone also has FBI low side access or
unclassified access, right. Yes, they did give you a car
with police sirens radio. So you had access to the
(12:41):
encrypted coms that the FBI has on their operation side.
You had sirens for emergency movement and you had a car, but
not a gas card to fill up the car.
Can you talk about this? Because I'm just, I'm going to
go through. I just want people to understand
how stupid this thing is. They couldn't issue me the
travel card, the the credit cardthat we're all over required to
(13:01):
have that you can use for fueling up your vehicle.
You just go to the the local stop and Rob and use their
government card. So that would have necessitated
me doing a couple of things. I could have used my own
personal money and asked for reimbursement, which is actually
a violation of policy. So that was kind of.
It's literally in the letter here that if you use personal
money that it's a violation of of federal regulations for
(13:23):
federal employees. You can't use their own money.
The fuel money comes from the same bucket that you could just
ask another agent to go out there and hey, can I use your
car? Can you just swipe the card?
For me? That's a violation of policy.
So that left me with the only alternative, which was to drive
180 miles round trip to have theauto mechanics fuel up my car in
Jacksonville. So a 360 mile round trip was
(13:45):
required for you to fill up yourtank?
With each way so 180. OK, got it. 180 is the round
trip got. It and they gave me a 2019
Sonata with a correct windshield.
That seems fine. I don't know what the heck
you're complaining about on thatone.
The FBI violated the terms of agreement.
They didn't reinstate your security clearance, which was
actually there was. No, there's no caveat on there.
They were just supposed to give it back, period.
(14:07):
Which is kind of interesting because I got fired before they
reinstated it, which would mean they have to reinstate my
security clearance after having fired me.
OK, but here's the fun thing forthose people who are paying
attention to how this works, andthis actually may be something
kind of groundbreaking for the litigation end of it.
A lot of people have been removed from the FBI or other
security agencies. So if you're just generally
(14:27):
speaking, an Intel agency employee, they can pull your
security clearance for any reason at any time and they
defend themselves with this 1980s court decision called Navy
versus Eagan. That's what they cited in my
case. In your case and Garrett's case
and everything else, we can pullthis away, but this is not a
Navy versus Eagan thing. They actually are contractually
obligated to give you. This is outside of any sort of
ability to grant or not grant. This is a contractual obligation
(14:49):
that the the federal government voluntarily entered into and
then they then they've they failed on it because this is
just a civil matter. It has nothing to do with
federal employment law. I think that's really
interesting and I think it actually is going to be very
interesting for people who are looking at this case.
A judge is going to have to lookat it and go like, well, you can
argue Navy VE again, but who cares?
You would have had to reinstate it and then given a reason, no
reason and taking it. But they didn't do that, as far
(15:11):
as we know. Just so damn thirsty in order to
have that moment. OK, let's get to the monetary
part of it too, because this is this is not a small amount of
money they owed you. To make matters worse, the FBI
refused to pay you your back pay.
Has any FBI whistleblower in those ten people that we know
about other than Marcus Allen, who I guess was in the the 10
even though he was a year prior and it was under Ray.
(15:31):
So cash claimed credit for some Ray FBI stuff as.
Status quo for him. He's taking credit for all those
arrests nowadays. Fair enough. 450 grand give or
take, maybe more is there? There's another mention here of
another $60,000 Sixty 1000 and is a lump sum.
Is that for damages and stuff? So the 61,000 was essentially
they said well that'll be damages, It's what you had to
come out of pocket to pay for your medical insurance over the
(15:53):
last 3 1/2 years. Got it.
So they're supposed to. Back pay you for the amount
actually did hit my bank account.
Oh good. So I did have that going for me,
which was good, but no back pay,no medical insurance.
They actually told me about medical insurance wasn't set up.
And then they said, well, we think it is and we'll leave it
up to you to contact somebody. And then ultimately when they
(16:14):
wind up giving me me my summary termination letter signed by
Cash himself because he was so damn thirsty to do it, he
couldn't order an HR person to do it now, which will be
interesting if he gets subpoenaed at some point.
They said here's a point of contact for you to find about
about that pesky back pay for 3 1/2 years.
And it's an anonymous human resources division.
(16:34):
E-mail. Yeah, that sounds right.
When I had to report problems to, I can't remember what the
actual scenario was, but I thinkit was like the EEO complaint
service, something I had to, I had to send something I
unironically to whistleblower@fbi.gov, which I
thought was the funniest thing that I'd ever seen.
I still have emails from whistleblower.
At FBI Admiral Ackbar, it's a trap.
I mean, to that level of sophistication you would expect
(16:56):
from the FBI, which it's a funniest eye, but it's worth
throwing out there. When I had to drive back from
Tampa to meet the boss on Saturday, I might add, he called
me early in the morning on Saturday.
I'm kind of jumping ahead the story, but it's worth it for
this story alone. And I met him at the door.
He tried to boot you the ruse where they say you can't bring
your phone in because they're scared you're going to record
what they say. And as retarded as it's going to
(17:17):
be, they they said, hey, they'redoing work inside the Daytona
office. They, I don't know who on a
Saturday, they're doing wiring work even though there's not a
car in the parking lot. So you can't bring your phone
in. So you'll have to leave it out
here. And I looked at him and I said,
I know you're bringing me in there to fire me right now.
Can you just hold on a SEC whileI call my wife and tell her that
I won't have my phone on me? And he looked at me like jaw a
(17:40):
gape, like, how did you possiblysee through this ruse?
How did you see through their ruse, Steve?
How could you know what they were doing?
KG veteran have been through it 2 Times Now.
Turns out it's funny, I had a similar scenario this week,
which has almost gone to the wayside with all the other
craziest things that are going on.
But I got AI got a a request foran interview that was clearly
(18:03):
going to be a hit piece. And these people don't seem to
realize that like we know what they're doing and not going to
put us on our on our heels with our own story.
We know more about anyway. I just think it's funny that you
showed up knowing what it was. You literally called me and
route to talk to this guy and you're like, what should we do?
We had all these funny ideas like you should FaceTime it when
you pull up and be like, Hey, doyou want to be on the Kyle
serving show live? We're going to just stream to,
you know, whatever. So we had a bunch of funny ideas
(18:25):
and you ended up just confronting him personally,
which I think is fine. It wasn't his fault.
But no. And I it is offensive.
I don't think anybody in the Jacksonville division was in on
some sort of scheme. They were actually in good faith
trying to break a logjam and bring me in to work there and
interview potential applicants to become special agents for the
FBI, which would have been really fun to do at.
It would have been something, wouldn't it?
(18:47):
Why? Why are your numbers so low?
I don't know. I'm honest.
What can I say? Yeah, I just tell people that
this is a stupid job and I don'tlike it.
All right, so here's here's the rest of this agreement.
This is the other funny thing. They made you like random
amounts. They paid you things that were
not obvious what they were and they couldn't have been.
Your salary is what Kurt argues in this this piece, which makes
sense to me, that you you can kind of guess what the salary
(19:07):
was. I think you and I looked at it
and decided it wasn't even close.
Yes, yeah. I mean, they were kind of at the
intervals that you would be getting salary, but I again, I
couldn't look into the National Finance Center, the employee
payroll portal, the EPP, whatever it stands for to look
at your pay stub to assure that it was actually a salary.
It might have been reflective ofinterest because they do owe me
interest on all the back pay andfailures to contribute to my
(19:28):
retirement and the growth in theretirement.
All those sorts of things which I'm very mega Doppler sure will
be computed 100% accurately. Or not because mega dollar.
Still got the wrong amount. Mega Doppler is like a Steve
Friend term for you. You're super cereal, is that
right? Yeah, yeah.
I mean I like to use mega Doppler MAGA nowadays because
(19:50):
you know, government run Healthcare is based.
Sure. All right, they also did
something fun, which I think we talked about here, and I may or
may not have referred to a reporter at the New York Post as
an attention whore or an access whore.
So I think it's exactly what what that person is.
Caitlin, whatever name is Dor Dorne.
Bros Yeah, she she texted me. Friday, Let's read.
(20:12):
Let's read Kurt's thing and thenyou get the back story on it.
The FBI demonstrated bad faith by leaking a story to the press
that it was firing Mr. Friend OnFriday, December 12th.
Mr. Friend was contacted by New York Post recorder reporter.
There she is. Caitlin Dorn Bros, who requested
comment on a news story she was writing that he was being
terminated, only to find out that he had not actually been
terminated yet. And so the next day, he actually
(20:32):
was summoned to the office and terminated, as he just told you
about. And the termination letter was
signed by the FBI director himself.
The FBI was required to expunge and rescind all records related
to any claim concerning misconduct or poor performance
as part of the agreement. Unless you think otherwise.
There it is on the screen in black and white. 4 weeks
effective disagreement. Rescind and expunge the
(20:53):
employees removal and all related records concerning
misconduct or poor performance. Which we basically had them
agree that it was a, it was retaliatory, that's why they did
it. And then she's writing a story
on this thing. Apparently she also just quoted
your book to you. Yeah, I'm saying in Caitlin's
defense, she might have just gone to the book that I wrote
and fully published with a full transcript of everything that
Dan Bongino provided a blurb for.
(21:15):
So maybe he should have read thebook before he or one of his
other associates contacted Caitlin Dornbros and had her to
reach out to me the night before.
They actually fired me because right before she reached out to
me, the assistant special agent in charge called and said, hey,
can you come in and sign some paperwork?
I know it's 5:30 on a Friday night and conveniently, nobody
would be at the office right now.
(21:36):
And I said, no, I'm multiple hours away.
And, and in his defense, he said, OK, he didn't know
actually what was in the packet.And he said, all right, just
come in. And on Monday, well, maybe he
thought he was going to fire me on Monday.
And unfortunately for him, they had already alerted Caitlin
Dornbos at New York Post. So then at 7:30 AM on Saturday
morning is when I got the call. You need to come into the
office. In fact, if you want, you can go
(21:58):
to the Tampa office to get. We can fire you from anywhere,
Steve. It's a sealed document that I
had no idea I. Think you blew it?
I'm just going to tell you I think you blew it.
You should have made him come toyour house and get get the car
themself that. Would have deprived me of the
Super awkward drive home where you guys were blowing up my
phone saying like. Proof of life, Steve, Proof of
life. You're just sitting there
(22:18):
looking at this guy who's just like a hatchet man for a regime
that he knows is wrong and make him understand what a good
American he is doing these things.
That is kind of fun. Special agent in charge of
Jacksonville and the assistant special agent in charge, they
drove me to my house. I got out the ASAC who had been
the really the point of contact kind of came out and said, hey,
I, I was really looking forward to working with you.
I'm sorry things worked out thisway.
(22:38):
And my response to him was, look, I don't take anything
personal and you shouldn't either because things are going
to get really bad for you. And he said okay, got back in
the vehicle. Yeah, Roger that.
I like having a phone call with my wife on the way home on one
of those things. I had a similar one with my my
two former bosses, and it's like, hey, honey, yeah.
Can you go into the hall closet?Will you grab the body armor
that's out there? The green?
(22:59):
Yeah, the FBI one. Will you just throw that shit
out in the street 'cause it doesn't need to be on our
property anymore? That's not our problem.
I've already signed it over. I'm no longer responsible for
it. I already signed documents,
someone else's. I'm sure it'll be there
somewhere. And yeah, she did put it on the
mailbox. And then the wind knocked it out
into the street. So as we drove up, yeah, it's
like literally in the middle of the street just hanging out
there like a tumbleweed. It's a freaking tumbleweed.
(23:19):
All right, So, Steve, that that all sucks.
That's a bummer in in so much asI think it's sad that we're
talking about people that are petty, vindictive.
They don't have any sense of honor and they didn't enter into
this agreement in any meaningfulway.
And that's the world we're living in right now.
So when we sit here and we take craps on the people that
actually run at the FBI, it is personal for us.
(23:40):
But what what that shows is if they can't be honorable in the
dark quietly with a signed agreement that they came to
voluntarily with you, just another American citizen who was
a federal employee who they touted as doing the right thing.
How on earth should the Americanpeople look at these guys and be
like, oh, trust this idiot who Idon't know in this parasocial
relationship I have like, how can anybody sit there and hold
(24:01):
them to any sort of level of scrutiny where you're like,
yeah, they obviously they're going to do what's best for me.
They don't even know you. They actually knew Steve.
Friend guys. Sure, sure.
I mean, I had conversations withboth the number one and the #2A,
right? He's the code deputy director
because he's killing it so bad. They had to bring back another
person to be his code deputy director.
That's right. We had personal relationship
(24:21):
with them, conversations with them.
Look, Cash Patel looked me in the eye.
Look, Carrot, a boy in the eye. You're coming back.
We're going to do something. Give me your resumes and then.
What they don't know. I mean, I guess they do because
I've probably published them piece meal, but we've got a
story coming out soon that's going to actually be
substantiated by all the text messages that I saved.
Because I didn't necessarily, I mean, I thought it was something
for posterity, the crazy stuff that Cash was saying.
(24:43):
I didn't realize he was actuallygoing to be like sort.
Of like D Rock. Like D Rock at some point on his
character, but there you go. OK, so this is on the screen.
You want to read one of these things?
This is from April 23 of this year.
That's five weeks into Dan Bongino's term.
Look you were just either clairvoyant or just a hater, but
either way, correct they are cooked.
Dan will be out before the end of the year.
Cash by midterms or after Trump is done.
(25:04):
Hard to say he doesn't finish his term.
Obviously they blew the opportunity all over but the
crying, the window to be successful was narrow and it was
basically closed after Dan sworein cry and shame.
And how did I know that? How did I know that this was
over? Even when Dan showed up?
What happened to you that was that is real specific.
And people are not going to hearthis anywhere else because
nobody else has this Intel. A little conversation before Dan
(25:26):
went to DC. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah, I did. And look, I I was not in contact
with him like you were when you guys were in good relationship
with each other. You had the the fallout over the
the Mara Lago raid because JulieKelly said that there was a
threat to kill Donald Trump, whowasn't there, and Dan Bonji
backed her up. Biden donor Julie Kelly, the
(25:46):
great Julie Kelly. So anyway, he actually sent me a
private message on X and asked to get in contact.
I gave him a number. He called me on a Sunday, March
1st. He swore in March 17th he'd
already been named as the deputydirector and he was very candid
and I think was was being truthful with me.
And he apologized for how thingshad gone with you and said,
(26:08):
look, I just have a relationshipwith Julie Kelly.
And I, you know, I just want to move beyond that.
I know I'm going into a really tough situation over at the FBI
because they're going to be talking past me.
They're these deep state kind ofguys.
You know, there is a viper's nest.
I know nothing about you other than that you are a truth
teller. You'll be the guy that taps me
on the thigh and calls BS. And I'm inviting you to be a
(26:29):
member of my staff. It's almost like there'd be like
a phone record of this happeningand some text messages following
up afterwards. I mean, I may have preserved
them posterity, like not D ROG, but yeah, that that that might
actually exist. And I said I accepted that offer
and actually honored his other request, which was to not make
(26:52):
it public because he didn't wantto create a firestorm before he
brought me in because that wouldbe a smash hit.
And I kept it quiet till right about the last few days when I
guess I could stop waiting on him to call me.
That was March 1st and he's bornon March 17th.
And apparently, according to some media sources that have
talked to me, said he was fighting to get me in even
(27:13):
though he didn't call me. Yeah, nobody believes that, and
neither does this guy. This is Tucker Carlson.
Tucker Carlson, a huge voice, obviously, on the political
right and somebody that says things that I agree with and
things that I don't agree with. But what I do know about Tucker
Carlson is that he's very brightand he has a penetrating
intellect when it comes to thesethings.
Anybody who can stand up and speak extemporaneously in a
charismatic manner for an hour, that's a special kind of guy.
(27:35):
And he doesn't do it like the Donald Trump thing where it's
all based on braggadocious and charisma.
It's kind of based on this weirdTucker thing where he even has
like some really unlikeable. His laugh is highly unlikeable.
It really is. And he still is great.
And then whenever I hear Tucker speak, I want to hear what he
has to say, which is why he was so big for as long as he was.
And here we go with him saying, and I have it on some background
information, that he may have taken some phone calls from from
(27:57):
that 7th floor that were really like unnecessary and also really
nasty and gross. Because threatening the media
doesn't seem like something you should be doing when you're
living in the in the in the halls of government with actual
authority to go out there and doreally dangerous stuff to the
media, which I thought guys likeDan Bongino knew because didn't
they claim that they were cancelled and Public Enemy
number one and all this other stuff.
(28:18):
Here's Doctor Carlson, he's on Theo Von's podcast talking about
he doesn't trust not just the FBI, but like you and I, he
doesn't even trust the guys thatrun it.
And that is different than most of the mega mega.
What do you call him? The Doppler?
Mega Doppler mega. I don't.
Know what that is? Sorry, here we go.
I just don't have a ton of confidence in the FBI or the men
who run it. And I'm not saying that out of
(28:39):
ignorance at all. That's a scary part, too.
I'm. Not alleging anything.
I'm just saying I think it's really important that we have
that. Yeah.
And. Also, I have no.
I mean, I never wanted to think of this.
Like leaders of the FBI are on Twitter.
Like what? Yeah, that was always a big flag
for me as well. So Speaking of Twitter, let's do
one real quickly here. We got Jim Verdi.
(29:03):
You. I don't think you've ever dealt
with Jim, have you? No, no, never have.
Jim's a nice guy. I'm like nothing to impugn his
character. He's also a loyal guy and so I
don't hate that. And and Dan Bongino is clearly
his meal ticket. And even though Dan is not
directly theoretically running the stuff at Silverlock or the
radio show or the podcast, deputy Dan is still the owner
and his boss. Whether he nobody is nobody at
(29:24):
Silverlock Media is going to go out there and call out the
deputy director of the FBI whileDan Bongino was that guy,
period. That's not happening.
So this is what happened the other day.
I posted one of these memes, which I think is actually
hysterical. It's a meme that my one of my
buddies in the Bureau sent to mydad for whatever it's worth, but
not with Bongino on it. Just the general meme of the guy
from from Christmas vacation in the Chevy Chase movie.
(29:46):
And there's the guy who's emptying the what are you?
What are you doing, honey? I told it to my wife.
She's like, I don't even know what that is.
It's like, what are you doing? Wade.
He's like, he's like, he's like I'm watching a man empty a
chemical toilet into an open sewer storm drain.
And of course, the famous line is is the guy goes shitters
full. It's cousin Nettie.
So there it is. Love Dan Christmas.
It's it's Dan Vivongino for those who are just listening.
(30:08):
You're missing out. But Dan wearing the the hunting
cap with the floppy ears. He's got the FBI crappy thigh
length robe, which is pretty funny, emptying the chemical
toilet into the open storm drain, which is just disgusting.
And and I just want your. Socks really emphasize the the
the legs. It's great.
Yeah, it's all good. Shitter's full is the is the
(30:30):
expression. So I just put that in there.
It's a classic throwback to a funny holiday movie.
And more importantly, I think that it can be taken any number
of ways, which is to say that we're all full up here.
They had to come out and empty it.
The swamp is full. People had all these different
takes on it. Jim Verdi's response was this
will be addressed very soon. So here's my plea for all of
you. I'm going to take the screen for
a second, Steve, just take a deep breath and coffee or
(30:53):
whatever you need. I need you guys to make sure
that you got a backup plan if you're planning on watching us
and we disappear from Rumble. I don't want us to disappear
from Rumble, but Rumble is the worst platform that we're on
because they've been stifling usfor a long time.
Any of you guys that look at what the what's called the
leaderboard? We have more engagement, we have
more comments, we have more likes on each video than people
(31:16):
on either side of us. You know the people that are
below us on the leaderboard and they all have 3X5X10X more views
than us. Either they're using bots, which
is possible, or there's individually suppressing us
because we monetize based on views, but Rumble pays us the
least amount for the most amountof views.
It's really embarrassing the waythey do it.
And so whether it's because theydon't have very good advertisers
(31:36):
or because they're screwing us, everybody that I've talked to
that has any understanding of how Rumble works tells me
they're screwing us. And it turns out the deputy
director of the FBI owns like 5.8% of the entire stock.
So he's a major owner to the tune of like 150 to $200 million
depending on the day. So please like the video.
If you're watching on Rumble, that's fine.
If you're in the Rumble chat, you guys are the best.
(31:56):
You guys made this show what it is, but I want you to have a
back up plan on either YouTube or Spotify or whatever it is you
might come see us because that'swhere we're one going to make
money on it. But more importantly, it's where
we're going to continue to be able to broadcast.
And I'm not confident based on these messages and some of the
stuff I've heard. So like the video, subscribe to
the channel, subscribe to a backup channel too.
If you don't mind. I'd love it if you were over on
on YouTube or you can always join us on Spotify.
(32:18):
We should have way more followers over there because we
have more listeners than we havefollowers.
So Kyle serifandshow.com is an easy way to share it with a
friend. And then you can go out there
and also follow us. So make sure you subscribe.
And I, I love seeing the comments.
You guys can make funny names upand all that kind of stuff.
I respond to a lot of the comments.
It's way easier to respond to comments on Spotify and easier
to do it on YouTube because they're both app based.
That's not the case for Rumble anyway, like the videos wherever
(32:41):
you're that share the show, if you guys would the story of
Steve friend and sort of the thegrossest that's going on with
him. I think is important.
We're going to have more stuff on it, but that's kind of what I
wanted to make sure people understood that I've got no
faith in the the good faith actions.
And if somebody claims that we're there for free speech,
unless you hurt our feelings, that's kind of the impression I
got. If you hurt my feelings, then we
(33:01):
might do something that's not sofree.
You know, freedom of speech, butnot of reach, and maybe not even
that at all. When I appeared on Bongino's
show, that was one of my first media hits I did after that, he
said to me offline, make sure that you never stop speaking
because you'll be more vulnerable when that happens.
Continue to be outspoken. And I took that advice to heart.
(33:22):
I think you did the exact same thing.
And I think it's pretty interesting that, you know, he
got in there and that's one of the reasons that they saw fit to
determinate my employment because I was doing the exact
thing that he encouraged me to do.
And ultimately comes down to, I think you and George Hill were
talking about the the idea aboutleaving and coming back with
your shield. Or on it.
And it doesn't have to be in thephysical space, right?
(33:43):
I mean, I think I'm on the otherside of 40 right now.
I told my boys the other day, like I might be beyond my prime
on a couple of things. I can't do that agility letter
like you. So we're not necessarily talking
about physical, but I don't think you can dispute that.
Any one of the suspendables, you, Garrett, George, Marcus,
anybody is willing to just fightuntil they either come back on
their shield or with it. And then Dan Bogino, who's been
(34:05):
cutie time is over and I'm the big bad tough guy who can't
tell, can't wait to tell you howmuch he bench presses, which he
actually did to FBI divisions when he didn't.
Spoke to them, yes, He. Did he took the knee and didn't
bother throwing the spear at theregime?
He's just a candy ass simp to government despotism.
There's nothing worse than goingin and, and actually we've got
(34:26):
some clips about that too. But let's let's start from where
I wanted to go with some other stuff out there.
First of all, as we sit here andwe talk about this particular
administration not living up to what I hoped it would and not
doing the things that they claimed.
And, and I think it'd be fair. You and I share the same opinion
on this. I'm I'm putting words in your
mouth on I think it's fair. Oh, Val.
Yeah. We didn't.
(34:47):
We're not irritated that the Trump administration did mean
things, were irritated they didn't do enough mean things
fast enough, hard enough, more aggressive enough.
They didn't come out of the way that we would like.
It was a fight to the death. Like we might come back on our
Shields, but at least we were going to put everything on the
on the table or out in the in the field of battle.
The Democrats are having their own problems.
And this is a time when you should be demanding that your
(35:09):
government do the thing they promised you.
I ended yesterday's show with Donald Trump's campaign promises
from 2016, from October, just before the election.
And people were like, this is sodisheartening and it's so
devastating to find that thing out.
And it is the other side is equally bad because they feel
that like a drunk wine mom who has no children, kind of like
(35:31):
when I went to the FBI Academy, I was a stay at home dad with no
kids. She's a working mom with no
kids. She's never had any kids.
And apparently she even went on like, I think Colbert the other
day, maybe she went on Kimmel orone of these.
But she was like, yeah, I coped by drinking a lot of wine.
We're like, we know you were drinking during the campaign or
maybe she's on benzos. So here we go with CNN's
assessment and they're shocked by this.
This is kind of funny. What about Democrats on
(35:52):
Democrats? Democrats net approval rating of
congressional Democrats. I want you to keep in mind they
had never rated Democrats negatively until this year.
And right now, what are we talking about?
We're talking about a net approval rating from Democrats.
This is Democrats on Democrats. Their approval rating is
actually lower, lower than the disapproval rating.
And that is quite the drop from October.
(36:13):
I think during the shutdown there was a bit of a boost for
Democrats, right? There was a rallying around the
flag effect going on, but Democrats did not like how that
shutdown turned out. They have returned against
Democrats in Congress. And you mentioned Dan Goldman in
that intro. One of the reasons that Dan
Goldman is in trouble right now in a potential primary against
Brad Ladner is because at this point, the Democratic base is so
(36:36):
upset with Democrats, Brad Ladner, the guy that got
arrested for ICE stuff, that he was like out there doing some
showy nonsense. Am I, am I misremembering that,
Steve? There were so many of them.
I don't remember that name offhand, but it wouldn't
surprise me because that's the way that they virtue signal,
right? Listen, I typed in Brad Ladner
and it auto corrected to arrested.
Yeah, he's the guy that was doing these like show arrests.
(36:58):
Mayoral candidate first in New York.
He got arrested for trying to block.
Ice guys. Yeah, what a what?
I mean, so there's that sentiment.
There's two things that I want to talk about on that.
And I forgot that Brad Laden wasmentioned in this at the end of
the little clip there. So Part 1, Part 1 is that they
are they are falling on themselves.
And you got like, you know, garbage people like Dan Goldman,
who you did got to face down face to face in a room and see
(37:19):
when, you know, smarmy, kind of smug rich turd that guy is.
And then you go out there and see that they're even struggling
with those people holding offices in places like New York,
you're going to put even like more leftist people in.
So they got problems and I foundlike this was really funny.
CNN is so excited and and they haven't changed any.
I actually do think, OK, so let me just go to this.
I think YouTube has changed because I've been watching it
(37:42):
change. Now it doesn't mean that they
won't pivot back on us, but I'm seeing our chat go like, I hate
YouTube like, oh, they're not for free speech.
It's like, well, they're lettingus grow and rumbles not we've
picked up 10X the followers on on YouTube since this
administration's come in. That's one of the things that
the administration should get credit for is that they
basically scared the pants off some of these other tech
companies and some of the, you know, the, the, the bronze
(38:03):
Griffin program doesn't seem to have the same clamp down that it
did under the Twitter Files era and under the Biden era.
And so that, so that's actually all good.
I think it doesn't hurt that Andrew Bailey, who picked up the
Missouri V Biden case is now at the FBI.
That doesn't suck because at least he has awareness of it and
he knows what the political win is.
But I, I don't know, I just, I'mseeing the same stuff in the
(38:24):
mainstream media, particularly CNN.
You want to see something reallyfunny where somebody doesn't
they're, they're trying to downplay what they consider to
be a winner. It's just not a winner enough
for anybody to get excited. This is an inflation discussion.
I don't think this is relevant to what we're.
Doing here new numbers on inflation, you can see the
annual rate of inflation down a little bit in November.
(38:46):
It was at 3% the last time we got a reading.
Now it is ticked down cooling slightly to 2.7%.
Let's get right to CNN is Matt Egan for the latest on these
numbers. This is below expectations,
Matt. That's right, John.
Finally, some good news on the number one economic.
Issue the cost of living. So the government just put out
(39:07):
this new report saying that consumer prices were by 2.7%
year over year in November. That is much better than the
forecast from economists, which was.
For three. Percent.
And I mean, I was surprised it was a better number than anyone
was expecting. But look, inflation's been very
high. It's stayed high.
(39:28):
It has not been coming down. But, you know, people were
expecting it to be above 3%. It was well below 3%.
I mean, I think the president will take this as good news.
The investors will think that interest rates will get cut
more. So, you know, it was a, it was a
positive news. There's no other way to spend
it. Absolutely.
Let's. That's pretty funny, right?
(39:51):
I think it's really interesting.Well, I mean, to inflation
itself just so we're getting fatter, just at a slower rate.
I mean, let's be honest, whenever inflation is positive,
it's meaning that prices are still going up and the
percentage is based on a higher baseline.
So it's actually going up by more real numbers, but that's a
little bit wonky and nerdy. But go back to the original CNN
(40:12):
clip where the Democrats were Uber happy in October and then
they were mega Doppler angry in November.
And I think it's because. They.
Demand that the communist demandthat their people do something.
People in the communist left getelected to do something.
And look, they don't have the majority in the Senate.
They don't have the majority in the House.
(40:33):
They don't have the White House.So what can they do?
Well, they can just throw up roadblocks.
And that was what the governmentshutdown represented to their
base. And they said, OK, you're doing
the thing. We like that.
And then when they didn't do thething anymore, they got very
unhappy with them. You can draft that with the
Republicans who don't get elected to do anything.
They get elected to be somethingand a message and more cowbell,
(40:53):
which is why you're going to have them going out there
saying, aren't you happy? Things are so great right now,
which is kind of Biden esque where they were telling us it's
just your imagination that prices are skyrocketing.
You've never been better, hey? Well, look, I mean, look at the
chart here. So this is the chart that shows
you US inflation. This is
usinflationcalculator.com. I haven't checked the veracity
of it, but this this goes with what I recall.
(41:15):
These are annual averages. So they were ports that were
higher. They were like months that were
at 9% inflation and so on. But if you look the the OG Trump
administration came in, they came in in 2017.
So you got basically year on year was the same as the as the
Obama administration prior and apparently had a really good
year in 2015 where we only grabbed we only lost .7% of our
(41:37):
savings, which is how I look at these numbers.
This is the this is your money being devalued in savings.
If it's not actually earning andnone of you are getting like 2
and 7 or 6 1/2% in your savings account, you.
Have to invest at a rate that outpaces this in order to make
your dollars not worth less. Just to make them stay static,
right? So here you go, 20172.118 one
point, 920192.3. We're still everything that
(41:59):
we're doing in 2025 right now the average is 2.7.
And that's where we just got to with the most recent numbers,
2021.4. That was the end of the first
four years where they actually kind of like we're tamping
things down and still, you know,roughly in the same category.
I've got all the numbers here actually going back to 2000.
And so we had good numbers in O2, which was right after 911.
And then, but the only time thatour money actually ever gained
(42:21):
value was in 2009 when we had a major correction after the the
2008 financial collapse that they had.
And that kind of interesting. It's like your money is always
losing as long as everybody at the top is still making whatever
it is they're doing. I don't know.
I just, I just look at the stuff.
I just feel like this game is always, it's played out not for
us on our behalf. So anyway, cheering on 2.7%
(42:42):
inflation still seems like a loser to me.
It's more than what the Fed saysthey want to do, but they may
actually end up cutting interestrates.
They're just in a bind. They've got this bind where they
can't cut them beyond whatever the bond rates are.
So they're now they're actually not just looking at Oh well, how
much is money worth and how, how, how's the job market and
how's, you know, how are our people spending habits?
There's all these different things that are being balanced.
And when they do it, I don't think we ever win unless you
(43:03):
have a major market correction like what happened in O 9.
That's like the only time literally this is the only the
only line in this particular little chart here that you guys
can see where the numbers all went down for inflation, where
it was negative, where we actually great gained ground and
our dollar actually became worthmore, which is interesting.
If you were to actually deflate the the dollar, you would cut
into the profit margins of thesecompanies so much that they
(43:25):
would have to fire their people and you would have people who
were losing jobs and jobs would be expected to still pay a high
amount because people are boiledfrogs at this point and they
would demand to be. I'm not doing my job that pays
100,000 for 60,000 even though that $100,000 isn't really worth
what it was in 2008 right when it was $60,000 buying power.
(43:46):
It gets nerdy and people are kind of like I took
macroeconomics. And This is why people too now.
Passed out and nobody wants to think about it and all they just
want to say is look at the stockmarket that is completely
inflated by dollars that are notworth the paper that they're
printed on, and it's basically seven companies.
Right. And my buddy says, and he's a
money guy. We were talking about this the
other day and he was like, I don't think he can go anywhere.
(44:07):
Like we had a generational correction opportunity and it
didn't happen. When that financial collapse
happened in, you know, 2008 and we started having the bailouts
on all these banks, that's when they sold us out because that
should have been the opportunityto course correct.
You should have had all these big companies that were over
leveraged to the hilt and they had, you know, fake assets and
they were pumped up and inflated.
They should have just crumbled. And then guys like, you know, I
(44:28):
don't know you or me, but even though we didn't have the money,
somebody that was entrepreneurial and had a good
idea and wanted to go out there and do it, you know, better,
faster, stronger, quicker, more efficiently, more profitably
should have had an opportunity to step in.
But you know, this is the model of business looks after itself.
My wife and I were having this conversation literally
yesterday. She's like, do you realize that
they vertically integrated underlike the, you know, going all
(44:48):
the way back to I think she was talking about the, which family
was she talking about? The robber Baron families
basically vertically, verticallyindicated all their oil.
And then they just out priced everybody.
They just went, they went from $0.50 a gallon down to like 8
cents a gallon for kerosene. And now nobody else can compete.
And so now you own the, the whole market.
But there is actually a benefit to the consumer, which is why
this is always kind of crazy. There's a benefit to a Walmart
(45:10):
existing, even though it puts all the bomb and pops out of out
of business because now you can afford things you couldn't
previously afford because they buy it at bulk.
And so they can pass that along.They just devastate the soul of
the American sort of spirit and,you know, the mom and pop kind
of flavor of whatever town you lived in.
So you get like a better qualityof living.
But the cost of it is, is that you live in a big box retail
store that's just, you know, nowit's just a slapped up sloppy
(45:32):
house built by illegals. I'm confident the place I'm
living in was built by illegals.They don't even have a main
breaker on my electrical box Steve which is a code.
Violation going back to the. 80sthat's exactly it.
There's just no pride. And so anyway, it's a this is
not an easy problem to correct, but I do think it's funny when
Democrats are confused about it.They're like, Oh my God, like
some things are working. Who knew?
Who knew that you could turn down inflation from 9% from the
(45:54):
previous guy? So it's not a total loss.
I just feel like they didn't do EU turn again.
This is foot off the foot off the gas, not break and and hard
crank on the wheel. Yeah, I mean, this is coming in
at the end of the year and saying, hey look, I put on 20
lbs this year so I'm going to hit the gym hard January 1st and
then you have Quitters day earlyFebruary and then you but.
If you lost 15, then you celebrate it.
(46:14):
Yeah, you're only 5 lbs up from where you were when you wanted
to be, but you still consider a win.
Not even actually losing the wayyou're, you're like, you go from
200 to 220 in one year and the next year you're at 2:00 30 and
you're like, well, I, I cut my inflation by 50%.
You're welcome. Right.
I'm not getting as fat as fast. That's how people should think
about it. Let's talk about something that
has clearly been going on. And I think this, that guy who
(46:35):
is the the Harvard professor kind of segues into it.
I don't think anybody knows this.
There's two stories that are going to be related to each
other. To me, this is the story of
what's this woman's name? Hannah Dugan.
She's the dower looking blonde lady that kind of has a Manish
face and she's kind of like looks like a angry chubby Lib.
Judge, do you remember? The story Fortunate Face.
(46:56):
But she's unfortunate. Yeah.
So the jury just found that she was guilty of obstruction, but
she was quitted on her concealing of an individual to
prevent an arrest. So they gave her kind of a 5050.
This is coming from NBC News, sowe'll pull up their their
article here. Again, they've got this great
drawing of her, which is nice. And they have graduation
(47:17):
pictures of illegal aliens, but they had to go with the
illustration. With the illustration of the
judge, Yeah. So the jury found her.
She was accused of helping a Mexican immigrant, AKA illegal
alien, dodge federal immigrationand authorities.
She was guilty of obstruction onThursday, which was a victory
for Donald Trump as he continuesto sweeping immigration crack
down across the country. I would call this like sort of
(47:37):
the weird leftist mental illnessthat continues to to thwart the
ability of people to think clearly.
And the story at Brown University, which I teased out
here that we've got a dead shooter on that scenario.
We now can talk about that in a way that I think people should
know. And illegal immigration comes
into play, OK. They've actually shut down an
entire program based on that guyand finding out what he did
because he was part of the diversity lottery.
(47:58):
All right? So they charged her with
obstruction, which was a felony,and she was convicted concealing
an individual to prevent arrest,a misdemeanor.
She was acquitted of that part, but she faces up to five years
in prison on the obstruction account.
I don't think that will probablyhappen, but you never know.
I feel like the the judges take care of their own right.
I think the sentencing will probably be something like you
have to do some community service.
(48:18):
So according to the court filings, an FBI affidavit, the
federal grand jury indictment, immigration authorities traveled
to Milwaukee County and to the courthouse on April the 18th
learning that a 31 year old, a guy named Eduardo Flores Ruiz
that sounds familiar, re enteredthe country illegally and was
scheduled to appear before Duganin a hearing for state battery
case. Because I think it was like his
third or fourth, like beat up his old lady kind of scenario.
(48:39):
And so she decided she wanted tomake sure that he didn't get
grabbed by the feds so he could continue to beat up ladies in
the United States. That's a lovely thought.
Maybe she, I mean, she does havehold on, let me put her back on
the screen. She does have kind of that not
really afraid of a punch face. Should we not talk about that?
Does that mean she does? She looks like a tough Northern
lady. That's like, that's a
compliment. That's a back end compliment.
(49:00):
A Hardy woman, she left the courtroom to confront the ICE
agents, falsely telling their administrative warrant for
Flores Ruiz was not sufficient grounds to arrest him and
directed him to go to the Chief Justice office.
So they sent sent the agents away, but they had more than one
guy on the team. So two guys went in to go talk
to the chief judge's office. A couple others were staying in.
Wait, we've probably seen the videos.
And then they eventually, like, fall.
(49:21):
And then this guy actually decided to bolt from the
courthouse. He came sneaking out of a side
door and she kind of escorted him away.
So they called it obstruction. If nothing else, really, really
a bad choice. Again, protecting kind of the
worst people. And that's going to take us to
what goes on at Brown. I think you got the the scoop on
this. Did you go on Jesse Watters last
night to talk about Brown I? Did I did.
(49:42):
What was that all about? I wasn't sure you want to tell
people how dumb it is to go on Fox News and why we don't want
to do it anymore. Yes.
I mean, I'm going to have to make that a pretty firm policy.
But I just told Newsmax, and I know that I told, actually, I
was telling Gerardo Boyle that personally, and he was like, I
just heard you tell me that on Spotify 45 minutes ago when I
ran out to go get some diapers. It's funny.
(50:06):
Producers reached out, hey, can you appear on the show?
And my first thing is about whatthinking, All right, this is Fox
News. They might be running some cover
for the code deputy director. And they said, well, that's for
the the Brown shooting. And I said, OK, good faith, I'll
come on. And then they hooked me up and I
sat there for 58 minutes in silence and watched just video
only as 6 retired FBI agents went to comment on the exact
(50:29):
same thing. And in the final two minutes of
the show, in my ear, they said, what can you actually talk
about? And I suggested I can talk about
the tactics of the the team thatwas going into the storage
facility. They said, oh, that's perfect.
And they tossed me on. Give a slop.
Hold on. They they wanted you to give
slop, Steve, I don't even have AI might put a slop on top of
you whenever you say something. Yeah, that's what that's what
(50:50):
Fox is. It's like where where can you
add we're we're about to sell some pocket catheters.
You got anything to get us to the break?
Precisely. And as as soon as I started
talking in my ear, I started hearing rap it, rap it, rap it.
But they did introduce me as some sort of former ATF
executive, which I did find pretty amusing.
That's super fun. OK, so here's the deal.
Short, short version, ladies andgentlemen.
(51:12):
The brown shooter was found to be a legal alien who came here
through a diversity lottery, which has been shut down by
Kristi Noem. I think I actually have that
story too. Stand by.
Seems like something I would have or not, but there it is.
OK, so we've got this story herewhich is going to kind of give
some background on what's going on.
(51:32):
And it also plays it so immigration, illegal and legal
play into the story of the Brownshooter.
The suspect in the killing was his MIT.
Oh, sorry, killed Brown University students times 2
injured, I think eight or nine others, 8 actually shot and one
hit with Spall was this last story I caught.
And then this MIT professor as well came to the United States
in 2017. Trump got a green card from the
(51:54):
Visa lottery program, which is like you win the lottery from
from Shitsanistan or a country that nobody cares about.
And suddenly here, I guess he was from Portugal.
I don't know why they're getting.
I don't know why that happens. What'd you say it's?
Usually, Durka Durkas, it's not.In this case, she Christy Gnome,
says she are now going to pause it.
She's called USCIS, which is a DHS entity to pause the program
(52:15):
in that after the incident and it gives about 50,000 people a
year a completely random lotterychoice to join the join the the
United States government or jointhe American people in America
with a visa. And they're from countries with
low rates of immigration. Because what we want to do is
find people that don't want to come here and have low rates and
then just incentivize them randomly to pop in.
(52:36):
So that's all really weird. Let's cover the story because
the the crazy thing that we found out and this you and I
found this out through various different sources.
I got people in Boston. Shoot, my Quantico roommate's
been in Boston for almost 10 years now.
Apparently Brown University is so pro illegal immigration just
like this judge this Hannah Dugan that they turned off their
(52:57):
security camera footage on the outside chance that ICE might
come and look for one of their students.
And so this question of video has been ongoing because we've
had garbage for video. Actually, I think I've got our
thumbnail here. Let me show you on the left
people is the images from ring Cam, which is garbage on the
right where they actually finally Idd this guy.
(53:20):
It comes from surveillance videofrom a rental car because the
college didn't have any. So these are kind of the
progression of who the guy was, what the story was, what the
press conference look like. These things are a clown show
now, and they're getting weirderand weirder.
So I've got this like, compilation of things kind of
going off the rails. We're going to go to ACBS, kind
of. This is a DOJ official who's
actually briefing on what do we know and how did it happen?
(53:41):
And you'll notice they don't actually have anything nice to
say about the university. The cars, the car that he had
used to not only drive to Rhode Island, but then back to Boston.
And then there was a security footage that captured him within
1/2 mile of the professor's residence in Brookline.
And there is a video footage of him entering an apartment
(54:04):
building in the location of the professor's apartment.
And then later that evening, he is seen about an hour later
entering the storage unit wearing the same clothes that he
had been seen wearing right after the murder.
You. Have you have an extensive video
canvas as part of this? Investigation that that leaves
(54:26):
you no doubt. This is the evidence we have
right now. We are coming to you tonight
because the federal complaint was unsealed.
And we wanted to provide you with the information and to
ensure the public that law enforcement collectively believe
that we have the person, that weidentified the person and that
(54:46):
person is dead and that he was the person responsible not only
for the Brown shootings, but forthe Brookline shooting can.
You. So as they say, this is evidence
based on on video. The question has been, well,
where the Hell's the video been for the school?
The school's been an absolute shit show when it comes to their
their thick accented police chief and sort of the evasive
(55:07):
nature of the president and so on and so forth.
And I expect I kind of put it out there like 30% the FBI is
actually spiking the ball on this one. 70% they're doing
their job and they just don't have the information.
The 70 cent is correct. I'll withdraw my previous 30%.
It sounds like they actually they had a university that was
trying to keep their camera system down intentionally, and
they've been downplaying it. It sort of reminds me of the
(55:29):
Occupy Wall Street people that were in Zuccotti Park, gosh,
years and years ago, and they were talking about we need to
return to an agrarian society and down with capitalism.
And they're sitting there on an iPhone and you're like.
You. Clearly don't grasp what that
is. And this is sort of a step in
that direction. Like this is a university that
is so bought into that ideology.They're like, you know what,
(55:51):
we're going to sacrifice our ownsecurity here and now they've
paid a cost with them. Two people pay with it with
their lives and others were wereinjured.
So let's, yeah, let's, let's hone in on that part of it
specifically, though, because fine, you can't prevent a mass
shooting with a camera system, but you could find somebody who
did a mass shooting if you had good cameras to identify that
person sooner and put people onto the right track.
Yeah, we don't. And then right, but after the
(56:13):
crime, you should be able to runsomebody down.
And while that guy was out running around and, you know,
basically left the the scene of a mass shooting that he did at a
university, he went on to go kill another person.
And so I think that's going to be a real problem.
That $8 billion endowment shouldbe something that the, the
Harvard or the the MIT professor's family looks at and
says, like, you deliberately youleft your pants down and then
(56:35):
you got surprised that somebody came by and touched your butt.
That's what that says to me. And this is the police chief
trying to act to talk tough. There's nothing worse than
leftists that are like criminals, you know, sycophants
essentially pretending afterwards that they're tough.
And so this guy is doing that. He also like stumbles over the
date of birth. I guess he's not supposed to
read that. So it's funny to watch him in
(56:56):
real time, correct. And he says date of birth and
then he says the guy's age, which is really funny.
So anyway, this is the the this is the guy that has been
basically a clown show in in allthese different press
conferences and exposing how badit is at Brown, desperate to
put. Handcuffs on an individual was
identified as Claudio Nevis Valenti date of birth and he was
(57:20):
a 48 year old man. He was a Brown student.
He was a Portuguese national andhis last name known address was
in Miami, FL and I will tell youthat he took his own life.
Tonight we have members of the province Police Department up
and sailing masses. All right, so he took his own
life. What do you think of that?
What do you like the date of birth?
(57:41):
He was 40. It seems to me like he's the
type. I mean, I've seen that before.
I think I saw it from the FBI director and the code FBI direct
deputy director. I've been briefed on this every
jot title and nugget and tendrilbut then it actually read the
case file so then he's actually looking down at.
It doing it live yeah, that's not a good thing to do live if
(58:02):
you're. Not doing it live you and.
I can do it live. That guy can't do it live.
The the the President universitygot out there and she decided to
give an update on kind of his background.
This was personal as far as we can tell by the way, behind the
scenes sources saying the same things.
I touched base with some major media outlets and they had the
same sort of information coming from their law enforcement
sources. I actually did hear somebody on
that Fox hit that you were doing, by the way, on Fox.
(58:24):
And this guy's like, yeah, my law enforcement sources have
said that this in the law enforcement, he must have said
the word law enforcement forces sources 15 times in a 2 minute
hit. He's he was like the female
version of of FBI Barbie Nikki Parker, except I guess he was
equally not good looking. This lady is going to go out and
tell you that this was in fact personal.
(58:45):
This is a personal grievance. This is all that we could tell.
There was no ideology behind it.This guy that was aggrieved.
And so they go through the kind of history of where he came
from. Would have been nice if they had
some camera photos and they could have matched against a
student database. Oops.
So Claudia Manuel Neves Valenti was enrolled at Brown from the
fall of 2000 to the spring of 2001.
(59:05):
He was admitted to Browns Graduate School to study in the
Masters of Science PhD program in Physics beginning on
September 1st, 2000 and he took a leave of absence effective
April 2001 before formally withdrawing effective July 31st,
2003. During his time, Brown Nuevas
(59:28):
Valente was enrolled only in physics classes.
The majority of physics classes at Brown have always been held
within the Barris and Holly classrooms and labs.
Now, detailed records indicatingwhere specific courses were held
don't extend back to 2001. But we can say that physics
(59:50):
classes typically require accessto specialized equipment,
including demonstration cards that are a fixed asset in some
of Barris and Holly classrooms. Oh, there you go.
So they found out that he was one of theirs and he had a
grievance there and maybe didn'tfinish one of his his degrees or
something to that effect and then decided to go nuts on this.
(01:00:13):
That's the story again. That's a plausible story.
So we'll just wait until more stuff comes out and and they
kept you waiting for 58 minutes to talk about clearing a a
storage unit. What tactics do you use to clear
a storing age? Law enforcement definitely law
enforcement Law enforcement tactics to clear a storage.
Unit. Is that what you just said when
you were there? I did.
Jesse Watters did ask me at the very tail end, do you think he's
(01:00:36):
alive? And I said, no, he's dead.
And then within a few seconds, Iguess Sean Hannity broke that he
was dead. And so now everybody thinks I'm
clairvoyant. It was the obvious conclusion.
But yeah, that's why you surrounded the thing and he
didn't want to play that. Play it to the end all right so
I got some other clips from those things that were kind of
bad and kind of silly I've got one that I I want to skip past a
lot of this news conference was really boring This one is
(01:00:57):
interesting. This is a reporter taking that,
that president to task. And again, I think the cameras
are really central. And then this sort of it's not
TDs. What, what do we call it?
This I'm going to sacrifice my own safety in order to protect
people that I don't know and leave the a community of
$100,000 a year students vulnerable to, to no law
(01:01:20):
enforcement with, with good camera system.
They said they have 1200 cameras.
Apparently they weren't working.FB i.e.
RT collected them up and found, you know, found that the footage
basically was gone. There was no footage at all,
which is why you keep seeing ring camera footage and outdoor
stuff from other buildings. And this thing that you see on
the screen right now is a is a look from a rental car agency,
looks like Enterprise from the green or national, I can't tell
(01:01:41):
which one. So let me throw this idea at
you. We're moving away, I guess,
apparently from the DEI, where the color of your skin or your
what's got dangling between yourlegs is supposed to put you up
on that intersectional scale. Could it be that suicidal
empathy is now the virtue signal?
That's what you do. You have to actively engage in
activities that will result in your own demise and and will put
(01:02:03):
your own safety in jeopardy and that in the new world from the
political left is going to then put you up on a higher rung on
that intersectional ladder. I don't know.
I mean, I guess everybody needs a martyr.
The martyrs are always really effective.
I guess that's what we're talking about here.
But it is pretty wild to see that, yeah, we're going to shut
down the ability to actually do anything.
It's one thing to, like, have anauto delete.
(01:02:23):
It's another thing to have a policy of not cooperating with
law enforcement if they show up.Oh, sorry, it's already gone.
It's very different to like shutdown your 1200 cameras.
That couldn't have been cheap, by the way.
That's not a cheap system, I imagine.
And, and then we got none of it.So now everybody who wants to
rob something from this very rich Ivy League school, who
might want to go take some sensitive equipment or they
(01:02:43):
think that, hey, there's some stuff in, in the gym or there's
some stuff in the science labs that might be of interest or
whatever cutting edge research they're doing.
We can just go Jack their their hard drives and nobody will find
us unless the FBI steps up and then I kill somebody in another
state. I'll just get away with it.
I'll just walk off with my fat belly and everything.
All I got to do is put on a surgical mask and I'm good to go
(01:03:03):
and I'm gone. That's what we that's what we
learned from this from Brown, which is wild.
Look at when this broke. We we were only able to confirm
that it wasn't George Hill and probably not Joe Biden because
he was too ambulatory. That's right.
Otherwise it had to be just goodold fashioned police work.
Or you could look at the camerasif you had turned them on.
(01:03:24):
You could do that. The fatal flaw of the lock.
Is you have to close the door first.
That's, that's actually the, thesame sort of conversation I
think I had with George last night when he called to tell me
what was going on. And we're like discussing that.
And he goes, he goes, it's pretty hard to go and file an
insurance claim when they go, well, what's the door lock in
the security alarm set? And you're like, well, no, I
leave it open because I feel badfor people who don't have a
home. But the fact that someone came
(01:03:46):
in my home and stole my stuff feels all so bad.
So I'm I'm feeling bad all the time.
Watch this lady get taken to task by reporters.
This is actually what have been going on early.
Video played. A big role in this case.
The neighbors video, the rental car video, but not the video
from the building that he walkedin freely both before when he
got in a confrontation and when he came back and decided to kill
(01:04:07):
people. You didn't have cameras in that.
Building just say it so we couldget this over and my my next
question is. Will you then?
Cameras. Follow up.
Yeah, put the cameras in the building, yeah.
Yeah. You know, I, I think we need to
look back. We'll look at everything that is
done. But I do not think a lack of
cameras in that building it had anything to do with what
(01:04:29):
happened there and. Listen, Steve, mistakes were
made, but it's not our fault. What do you think of that?
The answer to the question, the question is like the just tell
me, like Andy Sipowicz beating you with a phone book.
Just admit it. And her answer is what every
single person does when they're trying to evade and they answer
a question that wasn't asked. He asked were the cameras on or
(01:04:52):
off? Just admit they were off.
Look, the problem wasn't the number of cameras.
It was not, obviously, except ittotally was the number of
cameras that was a real problem for these people.
The other problem may have been this, the snow angels being done
by our I don't know why they're out there like this is the thing
I've been trying to what were they looking for?
And if you didn't have any cameras there, why were you
(01:05:13):
wasting your time putting? Is this all theatre?
Because this looks kind of like search warrant theatre to me.
Search warrant Theatre. It provides the talking point,
the statistical talking point that the executives want, which
is they get up in front of the lectern and say we devoted this
many man hours. We did all these things.
We we looked through this many terabytes of data and did
conducted this many interviews. It's we're going to lose you in
(01:05:34):
the numbers and this is the cover for it.
I think you're right. I was actually part of that
numbers game back in the day when I was part of the special
operations group, which is the surveillance teams that the FBI
would have. They would just deploy it and
they'd be like, we have our top surveillance teams on it.
And it's like, it sounds really good.
It briefs really good. But like, what was I doing?
I was peeing in a bottle and looking at a door that didn't
move because some guy lived in the basement.
He wouldn't do anything dangerous.
But it sounds really good. Like we've contained.
(01:05:56):
We've contained, Sir. We've contained a threat.
We've mobilized 24/7 surveillance.
And he won't get away from us this time, Sir.
It's like, OK, but I don't actually have any duty to act.
And I remember actually the weirdest version of that, Steve,
we're driving in Tampa in your backyard and we're following a
guy at 120 miles an hour in the middle of the night and he's
speeding. And he was like a sworn jihadi
(01:06:17):
terrorist guy that had like a big boner for Omar Mateen, that
Pulse nightclub shooter. And so he's driving, we thought,
to the Pulse nightclub, which iswhere he ended up going.
And then they're like, I get this call from the, from the
headquarters unit in the commandpost.
And they're like, Seraphin, yourteam is speeding towards this
thing. And I'm like, and he was like,
there are many wealthy neighborhoods.
He's, he's voiced threats to wealthy neighborhoods that he
(01:06:38):
will do a murder, a murder, whatever it is, like home
invasion. And he might want to create an
operating base out of one of these neighborhoods.
Don't let him do it. And I was like, what authority
do I have to stop anybody beforethey actually commit a crime?
Even if he goes into like somebody's yard?
I actually, as an FBI agent, have no federal Nexus there at
all. So we came up with this like BS
(01:06:59):
sort of idea where we were goingto basically like bother him and
pretend to be neighborhood watchguys and ask him questions about
stuff and not claim to be what we were and and do a voluntary
St. interview. If he decided that he pulled
into some rich neighborhood and stopped at somebody's house, we
are going to be neighborhood watch and run the lights on like
our unmarked vehicles. It was a terrible idea.
Like it was no legal, but like Iknow it was briefed after like
(01:07:21):
we've got the tactical surveillance team out of it and
like he won't get away from us, Sir.
He's not going to do it. They also told us he might go to
a beach and run people over. So don't.
Let me do that State of Florida.That's strong.
Well, no, when he was out in Tampa, OK, Yeah.
So when he was in Tampa, he drove into Orlando to go do the
other one. But yeah, when he was out in
Tampa, he was like, he may run to a beach and if he drives
towards the beach, don't let himget on the beach and hit people.
(01:07:42):
We're like. Don't let him do the thing.
Don't let him do the terrorism. Your job is to stop the
terrorism. I'm like, our job is to
investigate the terrorism if it happens.
And by the way, what are you guys doing on the back end
there? Do you have a case to stop this
guy? Or, you know, could you just
Baker act him, please? Because he was paranoid
schizophrenic. That's it.
And so anyway, I think you're right.
(01:08:03):
I think that this is this searchwarrant theater that we saw.
And they weren't making snow angels.
Those were AI videos for those of you.
But this is the FBI's ERT doesn't look like the A-Team
coming down from Quantico. This looks like the team not
from Fredericksburg or whatever.This is the the B team from the
local and they're doing whateverthey can do and you know,
whatever they're doing the best they can do.
But if you didn't have any cameras, you couldn't find this
guy anyway. Nothing about that.
This is funny. Another reporter also took the
(01:08:23):
police chief to task and was like, why in the hell are
homeless people more suspicious of people hanging around that
end up shooting people in your in your building then your cops
are on your, your campus security.
That's a hell of a question. Actually, yes.
Why did it take a citizen to notice a suspicious person right
next to Brown University and notthe police and.
Also, how long was the? Vehicle.
(01:08:45):
Parts where it. Was and was it days, hours been?
It appeared to be days as far asthe evidence.
Why would a civilian observe that to be suspicious?
It's a great point and I like the fact that you're mentioning
that I'm bringing that up. That's, that's what we should
all be doing, right? And it's just personality.
Some people are more interested in finding out what others are
doing. In this particular case, this
(01:09:07):
person decided that he wanted to, and I'm glad he did.
The guy that found out that the shooter, like was like parked
there for a while and doing weird stuff was a homeless guy
that like hung out in the area and they found it on somebody
else's security camera. And he asked a question.
He's like, there's a great question.
You're doing a good job with thequestions.
And we all want to know the answers to those questions, too.
We didn't ask those questions until you asked those questions.
(01:09:28):
But I like that you asked the questions.
Some people are a little bit more suspicious and so we should
probably be interested in who's suspicious.
And that homeless guy. Yeah.
Are you, generally speaking, sort of suspicious of people?
OK, we can't hire you here to bea Brown security guard, but if
you want to be homeless, you canlive out here.
We Yeah, we have. It's a home security place,
(01:09:49):
confidential human source. Because apparently our law
enforcement professionals don't make regular rounds and notice
things that are out of place because they're too busy
deactivating cameras because they want to stand in solidarity
against the ice removal operations.
This is so silly, man. I mean, all this stuff makes me
kind of, it makes me sad that that's where we've reached.
Like that's where we've gotten. We're in the middle of this sort
(01:10:11):
of just we're in the middle of just unserious people doing
unserious things. And they're telling us that we
have to love it, which is what Idid the whole episode about slop
on. Here's another good one that
broke yesterday. And there's some real questions
in here. This is written by Daniel
Clayman. He he reached out to me after he
wrote this piece and he was like, hey, just by the way, I
had to cut your quote out of thestory for for length.
(01:10:32):
It was nothing personal. And I'm like, dude, I don't care
if you put my quotes in a story or not.
Like who do you think you're talking to?
Anyway? The story comes from CBS News.
This is a legitimate question. Who is Erica Knight, the FBI
so-called cash whisperer. Steve, I know you know a little
bit about Erica Knight. Maybe you could share your
experience with this. The the quick question is, is
who is she? Why is she doing PR for the FBI
director? She doesn't work for the FBI
(01:10:53):
except through a contract. And what do we think she gets
paid? So I'm going to give you some
some ropes and see what you think.
What do you what do you know about Erica?
I, from my awareness that Erica Knight was a publicist helping
Cash Patel and others on their branch kind of got into the the
MAGA Inc world. Had a chance to meet her when we
were down at Mar a Lago for the airing of Police State, which
(01:11:14):
was produced by Dan Bongino and featured Cash Patel in there.
And then now that Cash Patel is the director of the FBI, he's
still really mega Doppler concerned about his reputation
and his public image. He wants to cultivate that.
So he's brought Erica Knight in his she's a quasi special
government employee, meaning that she's being paid by the
American taxpayer to focus on his image.
(01:11:35):
And from what I can tell from the outside, she's probably the
one who's encouraging him to go out and do puff piece
interviews, sit down on a couch like he's a Walmart great value
yellow tag discount version of Travis and Taylor Swift with his
girlfriend and also post incest.I like Harry and Megan Merkel
was the other comparison, which is also pretty funny.
(01:11:58):
I'm just going to read some of the piece here because the first
opening is pretty good. FBI Director Cash Patel wasn't
during yet another round of criticisms and negative
headlines in October with his frequent use of the FBI's
private jet to go see his girlfriend sing the national
anthem at a freestyle wrestling event in State College, PA.
The FBI spokesperson pitched back on the criticism, citing
federal regulations requiring FBI directors to fly on
government aircraft. But the most passionate retort
(01:12:18):
came from a little lone FBI media advisor who's emerged as
one of Patel's fiercest public defenders and promoters of the
FBI under his leadership. Quote shaming a woman the
director has happily dated for three years is pathetic and
frankly disgusting, said paid commentator Erica Knight, Paid
for by the person who she's defending.
Hot take When someone arrest 28,000 violent criminals and has
(01:12:41):
taken millions of drugs off the streets, maybe we can also
support their happiness and. Drugs is a weird descriptor.
Well, she doesn't know anything about law enforcement.
She doesn't know anything about national security, and she
doesn't apparently know that Cash Patel hasn't arrested
anybody. That's just not what the FBI
director does. Can you talk about how many
arrests Cash Patel has done since he started at the FBI with
his badge and his gun? I.
(01:13:02):
Don't believe he's actually put handcuffs on any.
Anybody. Yeah, that would be right.
All right. So it was a heartfelt but
strikingly personal response from a law enforcement agency
noting for its button up communication style.
Knight is not the typical government spokeswoman.
She's Patel's friend and long time personal publicist hired
earlier this year to help shake up the bureau's communication
strategies. She's actually hired through a
(01:13:23):
contractorship. She's also amplified the
directors public messaging and touted what FBI leadership sees
as its successes. 1 Testament totheir friendship was shortly
after he was sworn in as FBI director, he posted a picture of
himself in the Oval Office and Knight wrote.
I've been truly blessed. I'm sorry, sorry.
What does he say? He says Cash Patel posted a
picture of himself in the Oval Office with Erica Knight.
And he said, I've been truly blessed to have the best team or
(01:13:45):
the best captain and teammate, which is Erica Knight.
She's been there since day one. Without her, I would not be in
this position today. She's one of the best publicist
in America, an absolute force. She also was hired at some point
by what's that Alina Haba And I've talked to her about some
things about national security. She doesn't seem to have any
understanding of what it is, what the capabilities are.
(01:14:06):
And the one time that we had a aserious conversation about
today's topic, which should be the topic later on today,
whether or not we get Epstein files, I made a recommendation
that they start a task force andmove the people out to Pocatello
or something like that, kind of sequester them and have them do
that. And she wrote up a press release
for something that hadn't been done yet in an hour and said,
what do you think of this? And I think Erica Knight
(01:14:27):
actually epitomizes the let's talk about what we're going to
do. Don't worry about what we're
actually going to do because shethinks that the message and the
headline is the actual result. She's like the she's one of the
highest purveyors of slop, as was covered earlier this week.
And there's nothing mean about her, it's just the tactic that
she thinks is effective. And it turns out she's not
(01:14:47):
wrong. Because MAGA people seem to love
slop. I wish they wouldn't.
I want them to be more critical thinking, but that's not the
case. Go ahead.
That's that's peak. We get into positions of power
to be something and not do something.
We're going to have hearings. The hearing itself is the
victory. Whereas if you're just a regular
person, you say, OK, you have the hearing to get the
information out and then you're going to take some sort of
(01:15:09):
action. No, no, no, no, no.
We're just going to have the hearing.
Right, here's what I hate most. OK, This is why I'm most mad at
Dan and why I'm most mad at Cash.
And it is emotional. They've made me agree with
assholes like Jamie Raskin. I'm pissed about that.
I keep finding people on X that are saying things that I
dislike, I really don't like. And I'm like, well, they're
(01:15:30):
right on this. And I'm a guy that just says if
you're right, you're right. Even if I don't like what you
otherwise say, you've, they've made me agree with Adam Schiff,
they've made me agree with people left and right that I
cannot stand. And I'm like, the other day we
had Jim Stewartson who is being sued by Cash Patel for like $10
million for some nonsense. And I agreed with him too.
And I said it and Jim's like, happy to find the middle ground
brother or something like that. It was like a joke, 'cause he's
(01:15:52):
like this anti fascist guy. And it's like, gosh darn it
here. Here's a great quote from Jamie
Raskin. And this is a legitimate
question that even the most MAGAperson should ask.
Quote, why should an FBI director have to hire a taxpayer
funded PR fixer to spin away public criticism?
He said in an e-mail to CBS News.
If there's nothing to hide, thenthe Bureau should have no
(01:16:13):
problem releasing Miss Knight's contract showing exactly how
much money the American taxpayers are paying for her
crisis PR services. That is 100% the case.
There's no reason they should hide this.
You know, there's a robust public affairs office that is
employed by. There's like 130 people in
there. Yeah, and there's a headquarters
(01:16:33):
component. There's other people that work
in the individual field offices and they're that's their full
time job. I don't know why you had to
bring in a special government employee other than to recommend
that you stand up an FBI rapid response Twitter account.
Which parenthetically, do you think when Dan Bongino leaves,
he'll give his successor the thelogin information for that?
Because it's pretty clearly his account.
(01:16:54):
Oh, the FBI rapid response account Unclear, unclear who
will keep it. Here you go.
In some ways, this is not rule new to have a an FBI employee do
this. The FBI has long had a vast PR
operation and one source said that there are well over 150
employees on staff in the bureau's Office of Public
Affairs, with 60 or so working out of the headquarters in
Washington Field. I'm sorry, in Washington and the
(01:17:14):
rest in the 56 field offices around the country.
So they have people in every single field office that do
this. J Edgar Hoover's vaunted
publicity machine occupied at a entire wing of the original
Bureau headquarters. Then you've got Robert Mueller,
who said he had little time for mingling with reporters, and so
he had no social media presence.Jim Comedy was one who was a
little bit softer, and he kind of wanted to reach out.
He had a friend named Daniel Rickman who was a special
(01:17:35):
governmental employee in the same kind of way, worked on
projects for comedy, interacted with reporters on sensitive
investigations. And then you've got this thing
about Chris Ray. And I actually, you know what?
I actually like Chris Ray on this one.
Now, I'm not a big Chris Ray fanabout a lot of things, but this
is 1. He actually did correct.
Patel's immediate predecessor asFBI director, Chris Ray was so
reticent about putting himself in the spotlight that agents
(01:17:58):
often grumbled he wasn't being aggressive enough about
defending the Bureau. One close advisor allegedly was
admonished by him. And he said be a workhorse, not
a show horse. That's actually a great.
I mean, let's be totally frank about the way that Chris Ray ran
things. He was the inspirational
(01:18:18):
football coach in a Lifetime movie personified.
He had like, little catch phrases.
That's a good catch phrase. By the way.
Be a workhorse, not a show horse.
I agree with that. That's a great sentiment.
You know, he did a bunch of other, like, politically awful
things, too. Like say yes when he should have
said absolutely not and I'll resign if you do it.
But he didn't. He flew around on the jet.
I thought that was really bad. He went back and forth.
(01:18:39):
He didn't move his wife or move his family or move himself up to
DC for a 10 year post and he did8 like 7 years of it and change.
Didn't he fly less often than the current director?
Of the he flew less often and wethought that he should be
grounded, and so did cash. Chris Ray always struck me out.
I'm coaching 8 and under flag football right now.
He strikes me as a guy who probably could coach a girls 8
(01:18:59):
youth soccer team to a 500 record.
Like that's the level of inspiration.
He probably could do it even better.
He probably could coach him evenbetter.
He was he was generally competent.
I mean, he wasn't incompetent what he did.
He also just wasn't like noteworthy on there.
And that's not like I said, that's not a bad instinct.
Don't be showy. I've never seen it.
And Tucker Carlson calling that out earlier, which we played for
you guys. When have you ever seen a social
(01:19:20):
media account for an FBI director?
And that's it's not a good thingfor that guy in a national
security role like that When? Have we ever talked about the
FBI just as consumers of the news this often?
Until, until the Biden admin came in and maybe the Russiagate
stuff moving forward, it just became a thing where I told
somebody, I'm like, I cannot wait for this agency to either
be destroyed, disbanded, like like thrown out so we no longer
(01:19:43):
have to talk about the ex-girlfriend.
It's become just a like, it's not a fascination of mine.
It's like an uncomfortable thingthat every morning I'm like, are
you freaking serious? There's 7 pages.
Like there's seven stories on the front page of every major
thing. Here's Liz Harrington, she's a
former spokesperson for Trump making the right conclusion
from, you know, mediocre facts here.
She's like probably pro Dan Bongino, but fine, let's just
(01:20:04):
use it for what it is. Bongino's no longer there.
He couldn't fix it or whatever. So it needs to be shut down.
This is on Newsmax. This is on Newsmax 2.
I don't even know what that is. It's like ESPN 8, The Ocho, I
think, right? Newsmax 2.
Dozens of viewers. Literally spoke to dozens.
And also word that it might be Andrew Bailey who was brought in
the former AG to take his place.Well.
(01:20:27):
Yeah, we'll see what happens. He's already code deputy
Director, which I think was kindof a sign that Dan Bongino was
not going to stay in his role for that long.
I really think that this is moreproof that the FBI needs not
really major reform, but to be dismantled and to be shut down.
It is inherently corrupt and when you bring in people with
(01:20:49):
good intentions that try to change things from the top, it's
really difficult if you don't change all the people at the
bottom. And you still reportedly have
six members of the FBI who were on the get Trump operation,
Arctic Frost as it's called, that are still working at the
FBI. You have the lead prosecutor on
(01:21:11):
the so-called pipe bomber case who literally tried to frame
President Trump for January 6th when you have the FBI trying to
goes arrest him, rest him and imprison him to make prevent him
from running for office. So we're.
Just going to cut away from that.
You just started laughing. When she goes, it goes on and
on. What was that?
You're a rapid, rapid rap. Yeah, someone's like cut the
(01:21:33):
sign off. It's getting too long.
You're you're drowning. You're coming.
To a reverse mortgage commercial.
Hurry up. Yeah, that we need to tell our
dozens of viewers about our GoldIRA program that we're trying to
make some money on. She's kind of a.
Dollar late, a day late, a dollar short on that.
Like those are assessments that she probably got from the Kyle
Seraphin show, no? No, 100%.
Here's the thing. Liz Harrington follows me.
OK? So I think she knows what she's
(01:21:55):
talking about because she's listening to people who know
what they're talking about. Isn't it interesting?
She just said you can't do reform with the same people?
It's weird that that was my instinct early on, and I knew
that right away when they didn'ttake Steve Friend to Washington,
DC with them. So they at least had somebody to
call out what a snake look like.And we were assured.
And we can even tie it back to Jim, the new Bongino rule,
(01:22:16):
right? You have to wait 6 to 8 months.
And then we're now being assuredby the Jim Verdes of the world
that it was always the plan for Dan Bongino to.
Leave after. About 6 to 8 months.
So that would mean that the planwas for don't criticize anything
until I get out of here and all my failures are on full display,
and that's not my fault. I think even Laura Ingraham
(01:22:37):
didn't think this was particularly impressive.
What happened this week, again, I told you by the end of the
year, because that's was my assessment that was just not in
like nobody knows. I'm just looking at the facts
and going he blew it. He's not going to be able to
continue doing this. It's going to look really bad.
They're not going to be successful because he got bubble
wrapped up and he didn't have the skill set to do the job.
And then lastly, it's like it's a miserable job and he said it.
(01:23:00):
He said it sucks. He said it in his first.
He did his first sit down with Maria Bartiromo on fox because
he went back to what he knows. And then the second interview,
he sat down. I've got a brilliant clip that
shows that. But first, let me play Laura
Ingraham because this is funny. I I intermittently really like
Laura. I don't like why I don't like
that people decide to do the MARa Lago face and inject
themselves with so much Botox that nothing moves and your your
(01:23:21):
upper lip is static. I don't like doing that.
I don't know why women think they can't just age gracefully,
like we're all going to age. I'm going to look like a
freaking wrinkled prune one day.And you might not, you might
not, Steve. I don't know why Steve, Steve,
Steve is going to look very young, like Steve has got some
Asian genes. Hold on, let me put the chat up
here so they can see this. Steve has got Asian genes.
I think he's got Asian female genes.
(01:23:42):
That's my, that's going to be myprognostication.
I think that you're going to look 17 like you do right now,
right up until you look 1000. One day it's just you're going
to look over and you're going togo and it'll just like you'll
age like like ET being dehydrated.
That's my. Thing like that scene from
Indiana Jones where he just drinks out of the wrong goblet.
Yeah, you'll be the wrong gobletguy who just like Withers away
(01:24:04):
and chose poorly. Like you'll basically you're the
portrait of Dorian Gray or something.
Maybe you got a, maybe you got something that's like in your
closet that's aging instead of you.
OK if you're not seeing Steve friends beautiful youthful face,
you're missing out join us over on Spotify in the replay.

Let's bring Steve back in here. You want to see some other funny
(01:24:47):
stuff? So I, I promised Laura Ingraham
and then I just like, went off on a tangent, didn't I?
I mean, look, I'll just everything about Laura Ingraham.
She's probably the favorite of mine, Fox News host, because she
just asks a question and lets you respond to it.
She gives you she doesn't need. To show you how smart she is,
Steve, that's what it, that's what it comes down to.
That's actually a likable thing in her interviewer.
Just ask the question and then just see what they say.
I don't know. I don't know if I ever got
(01:25:08):
talking points from her, from her producers either.
I don't know if they ever asked me like.
Provide your talking what are. You going to say to us so we can
make sure our comments and questions are super smart?
She doesn't do that. She's actually, she's bright on
her own and listen to this little lead up.
She's going to go talk about theclueless thing in Providence.
So we see the same, but her Bongino takes seems kind of
sharp. And the first big departure from
(01:25:30):
the administration was announcedlate today.
After only nine months on the job.
FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino is stepping aside now.
This is not surprising. He loved his lucrative media
life and he wants to get back toit.
But first a. Little bit of a dig there on the
lucrative media life. Right.
(01:25:52):
Coming from someone who's in lucrative media, I'm confident
she is not poorly paid. Maybe.
I mean, I think she's probably paid more than Dan was.
She's on the the prime time spots compared to the weekend
thing. But anyway, just kind of I
wonder if there's some bad bloodthere from the Fox piece of it.
Not that I care about the gossip, but also it's just funny
when Fox actually comes out, they're doing the opposite of
all the other sycophantic media.I watch Bannon say the word Dan
Bongino 50 times in a 2 minute clip.
(01:26:14):
And I decided not to play it because it was too gross for me.
It was too much of the the self fellating.
There's this quote UN quote independent media slot that
keeps coming out and it's just like I'm not going to make the
noise, but it's it's gagging on things and it and it makes me
gag. Here's how he knew he was
leaving in April. Here's April 23 early on.
He goes on and does the Maria interview right.
You remember this famous fox andfriends sit down that he does.
(01:26:35):
When he was divorced from his wife.
Yeah, when he was divorced from his wife.
What you don't remember is this one, this was tweeted out, I
guess yesterday by the the Democrat Judiciary or the
Judiciary Democrats. And it hits kind of kind of
specific. Take the job, you know, you
can't tell your audience for years, Go out and do stuff.
Talk is cheap. And then when the opportunity
comes to do stuff. But I didn't mean me, you know,
(01:26:57):
I meant you. It's kind of a, you're a fraud.
I mean, you don't sound like a fraud.
You are one. So it was a lot.
It's been tough on the family. People ask me all the time, you
know, do you like it? I say, no, I don't, but I
didn't. The president asked me to do
this, to like it. You know, you know what, he
likes going into an organizationlike that and, and having to
(01:27:19):
change things and make big, boldchanges.
But, you know, I was at one of our facilities yesterday down in
Winchester, and a woman who worked there, very nice.
And, you know, I used to watch your show.
I miss you. I said, you know, I miss me too.
You know, part of you, part of you dies a little bit when you
see all this stuff from behind the scenes.
What do you think of that? So he's that wrapped up into
(01:27:41):
that persona. Part of you dies when you go to
do the thing that you said you could do, that you told your
millions of fans and listeners and followers that it was total
personnel warfare. You were the uniquely qualified
to go in there and do it. And then you got in there and
realized it sucked because you know you I don't know, we're
overwhelmed by the situation. They actually were coming to
(01:28:02):
realize that you were I'll equipped to actually fill out
that job. You were kind of all talk
cutesy. Time was as far as you can take
it. I went into the archives over
the last couple days because I've been curious too.
I always believe that Dan wasn'tequipped to do this.
And I assumed that it was an askon his like that that Trump came
to him and was like, hey, I needyou to do this thing like law
enforcement, law enforcement. I don't know the difference
(01:28:24):
between Secret Service and FBI. You're a podcast guy.
You talk about a lot like go fixthe problem.
That was my assumption. And then he was like, I want to
be loyal. And I think that's not a bad
instinct. If somebody comes to you and
says, hey, help me with this problem to want to help.
I don't think it's a bad thing. I think that an honest person,
you and I would have been like, I don't know enough.
I mean, you were in the FBI for what, 8 years before they got
(01:28:45):
suspended? Is that right?
Technically they gave me full credit, right?
So it was 11 years. 11 years, but actively there and then two
years afterwards where we basically studied this problem.
This is sort of our, this is ourmaster's thesis is that we've
really dug into the problems. I don't think you knew about OP
or IPM, the integrated program management prior to leaving the
Bureau. It wasn't something that was
part of your life every day. Yeah.
(01:29:06):
I mean, I knew in passing what it was, but it was just kind of
focusing on doing the the job ofinvestigating violence
violations of federal law. Right.
And then you get into a spot where you're working on a think
tank and they're like, hey, can you go dig back into the, the
actual origin story of this problem?
Can you help us identify some real key points that could be
affected? And so you get into the more
technical end of it. And so you knew to go look
there. That's not, that's not what I'm,
(01:29:27):
you know, alleging What I'm saying is that would you have
looked into it if you just kept running around on Indian
Reservation or going after, you know, sex predators or
something? Not briefed on it.
And it's not part of my life. And so we've studied the problem
from having been on the inside, spoken the language and so on.
But neither one of us, I don't think would be qualified to be a
deputy director. And Dan wasn't either.
Here's where it gets weird. I didn't realize that he told
(01:29:48):
Trump he wanted that job. And I hadn't seen this because
I'm not a regular listener. This was after Dan decided to
say that I was a, a psychopath or something or whatever he
claimed that we were. What was the words he used?
Yeah, losers who do stuff with Hot Pockets.
I don't think I've even eaten a hot.
Pocket maybe? Ever.
I don't know if I've ever eaten a Hot Pocket.
I've eaten other things that were microwaved, but not that.
Here's Dan saying he really wanted it and he he takes a
(01:30:11):
minute and like 15 seconds to say some pretty emotional stuff.
So there's that. Dan's always the victim.
I found he's always the victim. He's always the victim, even of
his own decisions and kind of broke down a bit.
Because it was. This is now real.
So President, Attorney General Bondi and.
(01:30:34):
Now director. Gosh, that sounds good to say
FBI Director Akash Patel offeredthis role.
A role I expressed an interest. In.
And ladies and. Gentlemen.
I told you, you see, it's hard for me.
(01:30:58):
I'm I'm going to accept the role.
Proudly. As the deputy director of the
number two spot at. The Federal Bureau of.
Investigation. Folks, it's a lot to walk away
from, I will give you. Tell you everything what
(01:31:19):
happened within reason and then.I got a show to do and I'm going
to tell you. What's going to happen with the
show? So it's going to be a pretty
wild ride today. You think of that?
Well, I couple things. I think he was so ignorant to
(01:31:41):
what the job of the deputy. Director, is that he?
Wanted because he perceived thatthe deputy director job was
probably largely ceremonial. Like the director, I don't think
he had any idea of the expectation.
He probably thought it was. You're like a.
Vice CEO to the company as opposed to being the Chief
operating officer, right? There's a lot of work there.
(01:32:02):
And then on on top of that, the emotional response to.
That it's almost like mourning. The death of a loved one, right?
Which for guys, I think makes a lot of sense.
We we wrap up a lot into what wedo for a.
Living as to. Who we are.
But he's clearly mourning the loss of this identity or his
expectation that he's going to lose.
It seems like it'd be almost like a permanent loss because if
(01:32:23):
it was a temporary assignment, if you were very clear, like,
hey, boss, I am happy out of devotion to you, loyalty to you
because of the the the mission, because of the service to
country that I'm going to go anddo this temporary deployment and
I'm going to give you my all forthat time.
You wouldn't have had that response.
I also think that the Fox piece kind of shows you that he
realized that he was ceding. Credibility left and right, and
(01:32:44):
I'll play that in just a second here, But what happened to the
tough guy that vanquished foes and everything and you?
It's not surprising. This dude went on to social
media and acted like he was likesome macho be like wrote like
paragraph after paragraph after paragraph of explanation of like
what it was and why we're winning.
Just want to do like a recap of some of the tough guy BS.
And, and it's hard to stomach when you see this and then you
(01:33:07):
see this guy out there like having his, his I, I, I call the
Jim Verity thing like an underling threat or like a
henchman threat. It's like, it's kind of like,
but this like you're going to get destroyed.
Watch this. Let's go just one quick
announcement before I start the show to folks do the series.
Of enemies in the last few days and weeks if you follow me and
(01:33:27):
next that I've vanquished yet again.
F around kids, you're going to find out.
I always win. I know it's hard for you to take
that. There's a cup of copium in the
corner. You may want to sit down and
shut them and drink it, but justknow we win every time.
Oh damn, that's so cocky and arrogant.
So bad you mess with us, boys. You're always going to lose.
(01:33:51):
Every single time. As we build this massive army of
supporters, it grows by the day and we trample everyone before
us. You want us with us?
You better bring it, because I promise, I promise you like the
list of people we vanquished in the past, which is long and
undistinguished. You will go down in flames too,
(01:34:14):
as we laugh and trample you every single time.
It's glorious. It's glorious.
These deep Staters folks, they keep trying to take us down,
these swampies and establishmenthacks, and they can't believe
how resilient we are, how we just keep growing.
(01:34:35):
How is that guy #1 Because we'rethe best and we got the best
army out there. Keep trying, Deep Staters.
Feel bad for you a little bit, keep getting your ass kicked,
it's got to hurt. Reminds me in an old adage in
New York City, every 18 seconds someone is hit by a car in New
York City. The guy says really, he must be
(01:34:55):
in a lot of pain. It's a different guy every time.
Vanquish them. Hear the.
Lamentations of the Women. Sorry.
I didn't know you had a Conan reference in there too.
God. That is so embarrassingly
(01:35:16):
stupid. This is why people.
This is what people love talkingabout.
They're like, that's my tough guy, bro.
Dan. He's basically.
A car hitting people. In New York City, that means
you're a shit driver if you hit people.
What are we talking about here? Here are the lamentations of
their women. You're not conquering anything.
You're on social media being a tough guy.
That's exactly. I mean, I at least gave too bad
deep self-awareness to know that.
(01:35:37):
Look, I'm 40 and I'm probably not.
Physically. Capable of beating up a 23 year
Old Navy SEAL, but he wanted to pull out that reference there.
Like I am actually Conan who will slay the dragon.
Conan who punched out like, let's just go with the character
of Conan and I think actually did in real life.
Punched out a camel. People don't know.
(01:35:57):
Like Conan was one of my favorite movies when I was in
the military. Because you don't even.
Need like any sound you don't even.
Need to have like you can watch on your phone.
You don't need anything. He would have been like me on
Fox. Yeah, You don't need sound.
Let's go tough. Let's go.
Let's go. And like, let's keep going on.
We're rolling tough like this istough.
Tough guy. Pre entry, pre deep state, Dan,
a whole lot to talk about folks.Let me get to the first
(01:36:19):
component of. What I want to talk to you.
About today, that's. Critical right here regarding
the fake crime, fake sentencing in front of the fake judge, in
front of the fake court system, in front of a fake prosecutor
and everything else up in New York with Judge Merchant.
Donald Trump was just sentenced.The left is now celebrating and
call him a convicted felon. We, of course, will use that to
raise money and influence to hopefully win back the midterms
(01:36:40):
just like we did the Outlaw label last time, because we're
good at that. We're good at that.
We're. Good at flipping?
The script on dipshit fuck wild liberal commies because.
We beat their asses. We've won the last three
elections. I thought just two.
We won three. Shadowboxing.
(01:37:02):
Is that why I hear her to shoulder when he went to the
defensive? Tactics.
And then he felt compelled to goon to Twitter and tell everybody
that, yeah, yeah, you know, I would have gotten if it hadn't
been for the meddling kids. It's not good, but it is real.
Listen. I don't think he hurt his
shoulder doing any of the karatemoves.
Actually, if I'm being honest, Ithink it may have been him
(01:37:23):
bending over backwards to give Donald Trump credit for the
thing that most people that are in the MAGA movement were pretty
uncomfortable with his high fiving Donald Trump about the
vaccine, which some people will forget about.
Someone reminded me this the other day.
They're like, that guy got conned into the vaccine
decision. He got conned into that.
Why would you listen to someone who like had to openly do it?
(01:37:44):
And it's not like he was just like, oh, that was the worst
thing I've ever done. He was it was the worst thing he
ever done. And then he used it to like do
knob slobbery on Donald Trump. This is free deep state, Dan
doing that Mistake of my life. Biggest mistake of my life.
Biggest mistake of my life. Yeah.
Yeah, we. Do I think you need those
billboards across America? Miss me yet?
With a sign of you with thumbs up.
(01:38:04):
I mean, look at this hapless guywe have in the White House now.
He's trying to take credit for all of your stuff, too.
The Vaccino. But I'll get to that in a few
minutes. I actually got a text about that
today from John Sununu. He's like, listen, don't let Joe
Biden when you're in your appearances, get away with
taking credit for President Trump's work on the vaccine.
You said that to me, which I promised I'd bring it up.
(01:38:26):
He is biggest mistake in my life.
I just should have waited. I thought to.
Myself at the time I even told Guy.
I said, you know, there's no doubt.
I feel like this was created andat this virus in a lab in Wuhan,
China, I have little doubt aboutthat.
And I figured, you know, I'd rather take my chances with
something we created than something they created.
(01:38:47):
Remember when I told you that key?
He's like, listen, don't let JoeBiden when you're in your
appearances, get away with taking credit for President
Trump's work on the vaccine. Biggest mistake of my life.
Biggest. Somebody did a little comp there
that I found cool. Bro nice knob slobbery.
That's good stuff. This is what it this is what it
expected. This is the the slop that we're
(01:39:07):
talking about here. I hang out with John Sununu
because I'm mega. Doppler mag up for?
Dropping it. Dropping names, dropping
connections. This is who I know.
That's. Another come back with your
shield or on it moment that we. All face down.
I mean, just you can't help but notice that every single one of
the suspended FBI agents that came forward were that
(01:39:28):
contrarian type who said, no, I'm not going to inject that
experimental gene juice into my arm because you told me I had
to. That doesn't make any sense
scientifically. It doesn't comport with my
belief system. You can't make me do it.
And we actually face the consequences.
Some of us came back on our shield as a result of that.
And when confronted, I'm still carrying my shield though They
(01:39:50):
they just knocked my shield off for a minute.
I picked it back up just like. Your hat was Askew.
You're good. I'm good.
I got it slopped around. You know who?
Didn't who doesn't fall over forthat guy because.
I'm seeing a lot of it like the slop knob slobbery got, you
know, it's just everybody has toself congratulate.
He said the hero, he did such a great job.
Two people, number 1 is a personnamed Alex and #2 is a person
(01:40:12):
named Alex. I got Alex Jones and Alex Rosen,
2 very, very different creatures.
Both sort of like have the same sort of spirit and a sense of
humor that you and I have. So let's start off with Jones.
I think this might have been while I was on a show.
I don't know where he like everytime I mentioned Bongito, he
gets super hot and he gets really angry.
Even about like private phone calls.
He starts yelling. It's really funny.
(01:40:33):
So here's Alex Jones calling outthat tough guy karate man thing.
Well, obviously, Dan, nobody's smarter than you, but if you
want to go from being. Very popular to very unpopular.
And thus hurt Trump. As well.
Just keep, keep going, keep going, tough guy.
OK, I'm going to stop right there.
(01:40:56):
I'm getting angry. OK show.
I want to beat the globalists, that's what.
I want to do. It's so funny, it's so funny.
Here's. How the globalists don't get
beaten you. Ready.
You remember the Fox News? What was the moment when
everyone went, uh oh, something has changed?
(01:41:17):
He killed himself. I saw it.
Just stop. Asking Listen.
That Jeffrey Epstein story is a big deal.
Please. Do not let that story go.
Keep your eye on this. Catherine Rumbler.
I want you. We need to keep the heat on this
case, folks. There are a lot of people who
are knee deep in the Washington swamp who are not telling you
(01:41:40):
the truth about serious allegations out there that
Epstein may have had video and audio of people out there doing
things they shouldn't have been doing.
And you should be asking yourself the question, how is it
that all these people, the CIA director, the Obama fixer, Bill
Clinton, all intersected past with Jeffrey Epstein?
Jeffrey Epstein isn't with us anymore, and nobody seems to
(01:42:03):
want to talk about it outside ofa few entrepreneurial media
outlets saying hey. This is a big deal, He.
Killed himself again. You want me to get I've I've
I've seen the whole file. He killed himself.
So look. In his defense, before he was
paid for his opinions. Now he's being paid for facts
(01:42:26):
and now he's going to go back togiving his opinions.
And opinions I guess is coded language for bullshit.
So he's giving us a bullshit Oreo with the facts of the cream
in the middle. Is is that the it's an Oreo?
Does he eat the Oreo vertically like a weirdo?
Who does? Weird hand.
Motions that like he's doing. Karate shopping against shadows.
So there were big cases that people had questions about.
(01:42:48):
One of them was Butler. And apparently there was some
seriously exciting inside knowledge that was being dropped
on the podcast. Did everybody that listened to
that forget about this stuff? This is a new background.
This is like super impo. I don't know what this
background is, but I do rememberhearing this and going like,
whoa, is this legit? If a guy who worked in the
Secret Service 1100 years ago has something to say about it,
(01:43:08):
maybe it's real. Listen to me.
Trump is being hunted. By professionals who know
exactly what they're doing. And because I hate.
Teases is the Secret Service compromised now I know you say
well then you brought that up last week.
Is there a mole, whether intentional or unintentional in
the Secret Service? I'll talk about that, but some
(01:43:33):
someone, let's just say who can be trusted, I spoke to last week
at the end of the week, has informed me that their
communication system for the Secret Service.
May be almost. Entirely compromised.
In other words, people trying tohunt and kill Donald Trump may
know more about what Donald Trump is doing than Donald Trump
(01:43:54):
is doing. Folks, we got a serious problem.
And the problem is the people incharge of the.
Secret Service right now are notserious.
People the. People at the top are too busy
trying to cover up their own role in the substandard security
plan for President Trump. Nothing is going to change.
We are in real trouble. I'm not trying to scare anyone.
I'm not trying to panic anyone. I'm trying to tell you this
(01:44:17):
isn't over. You thought it was over after
the first one we had the second one you thought it was over.
Bro. I feel like he's just talking
about the pipe bomber case. You can just.
Put the same thing in there, except he's.
Talking about himself and he actually is speaking from a
position of authority, more so because it pertains.
To the Secret Service, that's actually a subject matter that
he knows something about. He did work there at a time.
(01:44:38):
He knows about protection details and OPS plans and how
you would go about doing it. So I would respect his opinion
on that more when he was being paid for his opinion, I guess
not on the facts. We can't talk about Butler now
though. Just we we've already briefed
the the president on every. They're totally OK with that.
Tiddle and Nugget Nuggets no further.
Information. All right.
(01:44:59):
Last Alex. And.
And then we'll we'll move towards.
The wrap up this is something funny.
This is the behavior that I'm seeing.
There are two behaviors. Some people are really
disappointed and it's because they expected better.
They wanted more. They were mad at me for saying
this in in April when it. Became obvious to me.
It became obvious to me because Steve Friend didn't work there
in April when he could have beenthere helping avoid these traps
(01:45:23):
that were set and they clearly were effective and it was
obvious that he didn't have the skill set or the knowledge base.
So you just have to hire that. Apparently you can do it with
Erica Knight. I'm going to tie it all
together. You can do with Erica Knight if
you need somebody who can do PR.By the way, they hired Ben
Williamson, who also has no business being an FBI senior
executive, but whatever, they got that person.
I think he's weak. He's obviously losing.
They're out there explaining left and right how they're
(01:45:45):
winning. Not good.
But it was obvious to me what was going on.
And so 22. Ways people are going to be
disappointed. Or they're going to go the other
way and they're going to do someknob slobbery because there's.
No other way that they can take it.
I like Vince Colonnis for whatever it's worth.
As a person, I think he's a nice.
Man, I think he's a good man. I think that when he was doing
(01:46:07):
radio, he's skilled. I think he'll continue to be
skilled in broadcasting. I loathe the fact that he has to
work for Silver Lock and do the bidding and do this slop because
this is probably got to be hard to swallow if your job and your
livelihood depends on it and youmoved all the way down to go do
something like this and you got to put out this crap.
So I'm going to give you the last bit of knob Slobbery.
(01:46:28):
Then we're going to do an an Alex Rosen, which I think is the
best answer to knob slobbery is lampooning.
And then we'll we'll shut it down.
And you can tell people if you're going to be doing a
podcast anytime soon, Steve, or if you're just going to be like
a professional handyman or what you're going to do.
So let's let's pivot over to this is the message they would
like you to have. This is the approved position.
Apparently, Laura Ingraham didn't get it.
(01:46:48):
Here we go. Look, I know this year there's
been a lot of people trying to crap all over these guys.
Trying to suggest that they somehow are compromised or that
that they had failed us or whatever.
These guys are patriots and they're swimming upstream in a
world that desperately wants them to fail.
And they've got a lot of successes to show for their time
there. I'm not relying on the legacy
media for this. They lie to us consistently.
(01:47:09):
The reality is Dan is leaving ata time where he's got a lot to
be proud of. Remember earlier this year there
was some chatter that may be hisdifferences of opinion with Pam
Bondi. We're going to lead to him
leaving the FBII remember thinking at the time, it just
would not be a good time for Danto leave.
Dan needs to leave when he's gota bunch of wins under his belt
where he he can leave with a lotof points on the scoreboard.
(01:47:29):
And what does the scoreboard look like right now?
Well, the answer to that is Operation Summer Heat.
Operation Summer Heat was an epic refocusing of the FBI on
violent crime in America's cities.
They got the FBI off of the terrible, disastrous, tyrannical
behavior of the past, where it was targeting parents who go to
school board meetings and Catholics would go to Latin
(01:47:50):
masses and people who think church hymns outside of abortion
mills. That has not been happening
anymore under the leadership of Kash Patel and Dan Bongino.
Instead, they focused the FBI onits actual mission, catching the
bad guys. They've gone after the vicious
764 network, getting child predators off the streets.
They have found the secrets inside of the FBI, literally
rooms filled with secrets that the FBI, they found the the the
(01:48:14):
room of requirements there at Hogwarts.
Hoover Hogwarts routed through those trash bags because they
had to find those comedy documents, which.
Were available with a couple of keystrokes on a keyboard because
you're the director and you haveaccess to everything let's put
those points on the scoreboard operation simmer heat where
we're taking credit for local arrests of local criminals on
(01:48:37):
local warrants or what ICE is doing when they're doing
deportation arrests and you're just glomming on to take credit
for that or let's talk about howwe're not going to persecute
people anymore meanwhile we're going to declare that 764 is a
threat when it's just teenagers who are trolling on the Internet
and we'll. Label them as a.
Nihilistic, violent extremist. It's not nihilistic, Kesh Patel.
(01:48:59):
It's nihilistic again, you're being briefed.
You're not actually reading the documents.
Nihilistic, violent extremist. Did you see Big Lebowski?
It means that there's no ideology at all.
We believe in nothing but Lebowski.
We believe in nothing. Build up the infrastructure more
so that when. President Gavin Newsom, the
American Psycho comes in and. You can say, well, you're all
nihilistic violent extremists. So we're just going to lock up
Donald Trump junior. He sounds like to me like he
(01:49:20):
fits the bill. Last little story that I saw and
I I found it kind of interesting.
I know that you and I. Saw that this happened I've had
neighbors had this happen to them this is the sextortion
where basically like somebody catfishes a young boy in their
teens to send over some compromising pictures.
It's usually somebody in like West Africa or whatever, they're
like Southeast Asia. And so they do this thing and
(01:49:40):
there's a whole, you know, apparatus of sending threads.
I'm going to share it with all your Facebook friends.
I'm gonna do all this. I'm gonna do that.
And then sometimes kids do really horrible things,
including killed himself, which has happened a few times.
And that's when the FBI finally pivoted.
While we were there, we saw thempivot, but nobody cared about
the stuff while we were there. And they didn't care until they
got some bad PR and press. It's the same story with the
764. Most of them are underage or
they're untouchable because they're overseas.
(01:50:02):
So the thing that you're talkingabout like this big, like
correction that they solve this problem, it's really silly.
And to me, it's exactly what this story is.
This mom I like I, I pity this mom.
She's going through something horrible.
They're suing Instagram because because she let her kid who is
10 years old get on Instagram and get messaged by these
people. That's what's going on.
Two families are suing Meta, theparent company, which I have no.
(01:50:23):
Love for? Like people refusing to take
responsibility. If you guys want to save your
kids from 764 or sextortion or anything else, don't let them on
the Internet. In the end, you're responsible.
You are. That's your job as a parent.
If you let them play in traffic and somebody hits him with a
car, it's your fault. Like you're dumb enough to let
them play in traffic. If you encourage that, if you
give them a phone and say, hey, go out there and do whatever you
want. And by the way, start up an
(01:50:43):
Instagram account, which is basically full as far as I can
tell. Whenever I would open, I search
things like law enforcement gearand stuff like that.
You open it up, it's nothing butbikinis.
And I'm like, what is this? It would have been awesome.
I guess if I was like 15 years old, it'd be pretty cool to have
that. It's like having a Maxim
magazine on your phone that always updates with more women.
But like, that's your fault. You should know what's on the
Internet. What are you retarded?
(01:51:04):
Like I look at it and I go like,I'm not on Instagram because I
don't have a bunch of thirsty shirtless pics of myself.
That's not what I'm about. It's your fault anyway.
The family of the victim at MIT should sue Brown because they.
Turned off the security cameras.That's not going to sue the gun
manufacturer or the NRA because guns happen to be used.
That's right. Well, it's just crazy to me to
think that like you're going to take the furthest thing away
(01:51:26):
from your. Own like you're taking your pain
that you feel and you're going to go out there and project it
on them anyway. Watching Vince is painful for me
because I know the stuff they'redoing is repackaging what the
FBI already does. They're rebranding and claiming
stats from things. They just basically expanded
their stat collection. So those numbers, 28,000, like a
lot of those things are just ICEarrests people.
If you guys don't know that, it's 28,000 violent criminals,
(01:51:47):
but like not exactly criminal and like not exactly like we
arrested them. We didn't exactly arrest them,
but they weren't exactly violentcriminal.
But we're going to call them whatever we want.
Last night we made fun of it on the call in show.
We were just like, I've heard Cash talk about the number of
arrests on sex tortion cases andstuff like this with three
different numbers. He says four.
I've heard him say 400 and 95190and 510% increases.
(01:52:11):
One of those is correct. Or none of them are correct, but
they can't all be correct. Turns out anytime you give them
percentages, I'm going to have to get the hard fact.
Can you please give me? Yeah, there's a.
Relative number, right? Exactly.
That's what it comes down to. All right, that's as fun as we
need to do. Let me let me play you what I
think is happening. The knob slobbery.
That is really hard for me to toprocess and digest.
(01:52:32):
And I do think it's funny. And so I promised you a second,
Alex, this is the Benny Johnson camp, this is the Tim Poole
camp, this is the anybody that works for Rumble camp has to do
this. So Alex Rosen is giving you
every single mega Doppler mega influencer in one compilation
(01:52:52):
from his car. Enjoy this.
All right, y'all? I see a lot of people losing
faith in the Trump administration and Diane.
Bongino. So I want to make a few things
clear. OK?
So Dan Bongino is still fightingfor us and on our side.
OK? So look, he's going back to his
podcast on Rumble. It's going to be the most viewed
television in U.S. history when he has his first appearance
(01:53:16):
back, all right? So look, he can't talk about
anything that happened in the swamp because he was all under
an NDA while he's working with the FBI, which stands for not
doing anything. Now he's under an NDA now about
what happened to the FBI. OK, so y'all, y'all got to
(01:53:37):
understand, this is 4D chess, OK?
You think that he actually didn't do anything to dismantle
the FBI? Well, guess what?
Him stepping down means that there's no more deputy FBI
director. He himself is dismantling the
FBI. The FBI just got smaller with
him stepping down. Think about this.
It's 4D chess, Diane, All right,so sit back and enjoy the show.
(01:54:04):
I like that guy so much. He's like 26 years old.
He's the same age as Cash. 'S girlfriend and he runs out
and hunts down child predators. That's that's I fight for kids.
If you guys don't know Alex Rosen, he's got a social media
account. They go out and they hunt down
child predators. Like actually get it done.
He's and he's also hilarious. That was all sarcasm for those
of you who don't know his sense of humor, which is the same as
(01:54:25):
me and Steve. It's very, it's very dry.
In that case, what do you got, Steve?
Well said. Look, I hadn't thought it
through like that. It is like 40 chest.
Underwater hungry hungry hippos.I would expect nothing better.
All right. Are you going to bring back a
podcast next year? What are you doing, man?
What are you up to? Yeah, I'm going to have.
To bring back the American Radicals podcast, maybe retool
(01:54:45):
the studio. To get it will go away from the
more simplistic, go to somethingthat's like a a podcasting
sensation style, like a little bit more room.
I'm going to need to do a littlebit of work here in the hiatus
time between now and the new year.
And then maybe I'll ask Dan Bongino to be a Co host with me.
We could just be a couple of guys who are former Bureau just,
you know, yucking it up about our old times there.
(01:55:06):
It might be one of the most listening two shows on Rumble.
Oh gosh, that's good. All right, so the American
radicals. You guys can find them.
At Amrad. Pod on X.
You can find it at rumble.com. Slash AM AM RADPOD.
You can follow Steve at Real Steve Friend Steve.
You're not allowed to call yourself a real Steve friend
anymore. My brother called it out on
Twitter and I was like, you knowwhat, that's true.
(01:55:28):
He shouldn't call himself by hisTwitter handle.
Steve's too much of A dignified,serious human being, even with
that sarcastic mega Doppler maggot thing.
I've also been going on this thing.
When I see somebody, instead of saying someone's big mad, I say
they're MAGA mad now, which I like anyway.
Yeah, go ahead. No, I like that.
I I always like the qualifier. Mega always is like that.
Extra exclamation point. That bright Red Hat gets people
(01:55:50):
super aggravated. I enjoy Mega Doppler because
I've watched enough local news to find out what the mega
Doppler radar is going to be. It's not just a Doppler.
Yeah, it's the. It's the next iteration of it
and it's still not going to get the weather right.
All right. So I look forward to seeing you
very soon and your project as you kind of revamp it.
That's good. I hope you take some time over
the holidays and I don't know ifwe're going to have another
(01:56:10):
friendly Friday through the end of the year.
So just in case, Merry Christmas, Steve, I'll talk to
you later on off air as well. Thanks for jumping on with me
this morning on episode 700 of all things man.
So wish to everybody in the chat.
Have a great weekend, everybody.All right.
Thanks so much. That's Steve.
Friend, you guys are not following him.
You're missing out on the. Most sarcastic dude over on X
again at Real Steve friend. If you want to hear someone cut
(01:56:33):
through the FB is press briefings.
That's how it gets done. We talked a little bit about
that sort of suicidal empathy and the left is weird stuff and
all that kind of things. Make sure you guys have liked
our videos if you're watching again.
If you're still watching at thispoint, thank God you are.
You're the reason why we do it. Subscribe, notify yourself when
we go live at 0930 Eastern Time,8:30 in Texas, America, some
other time earlier if you're in one of the weird mountain
(01:56:54):
Pacific times, I don't know whatthe hell you're doing up that
early, but knock yourself out. Rumble, YouTube X, the best one
right now is going to be moving over towards Spotify and and
YouTube for me because I think we're going to get knocked off
Rumble at some point in future. So Kyle surfandshow.com is the
way you do that. Let's do something about leftist
getting corrected. One way is probably to have
somebody come in and kill peoplewhile you turned off your
security system. Another way is actually to have
(01:57:15):
facts. Those are both lethal to leftist
narratives, and this is one of those things that people might
want to think about. Indigenous land?
Nonsense. You're not on stolen land.
In 1848, the US and Mexico signed.
The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo,wherein the US bought
California, Nevada, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and
(01:57:36):
parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Wyoming from Mexico.
So if you live in any of those states, you are on purchased
land. You're not on stolen land.
Most of North America was unoccupied in 14, 1992.
We often see this map here floating around the Internet.
This map is total nonsense. Without advanced farming
(01:57:58):
methods, populations were very small.
Without modern medicine, mortality was very high.
There is simply no way those people were taking up that much
space. You're not on stolen land.
Most indigenous peoples didn't have property rights, which Team
Decolonize Everything tells us was an invention of evil racist
Europeans. Well, without property rights
(01:58:20):
you can't lay claim to the land.You can only steal the land from
weaker people or lose the land to stronger people.
You're not on stolen land, you're on conquered land.
And the very peoples the Europeans conquered this land
from, we're all very busy conquering it from each other.
You see kids, your racist noble savage stereotype is just that,
(01:58:43):
your racist stereotype. If you're interested in more, go
to my profile and check under myhandle.
And always remember, you free your mind by using your brain.
Peace. That guy is not wrong.
Sounds like a. Kindred spirit, so there you.
Go follow Steve friend Thanks tomy guest for popping on.
He does our friendly Fridays because we're new here.
(01:59:03):
Steve friend, American patriot, whistleblower, former FBI stud
and hobbyist podcaster, potentially now doing it more
seriously. We'll see what that looks like
There has his handle. There's his X account at real
Steve friend, God bless all of you.
Thanks for being in the chat. You guys are the best.
You guys know it. You guys show up every morning
and you make this thing work. Make sure you can find a
secondary way of watching us in case we get cancelled in any of
(01:59:24):
the platforms. That goes for all the platforms,
I suppose. And yeah, look forward to seeing
you guys after a good weekend. I hope you have some restful
time, some fun. For some reason, it's back to
70° weather here in Texas, so I'm going to go put on some flip
flops and hang out with my kiddos.
See you guys on the other side. Thanks for listening to the Kyle
Seraphin Show streamed live. Weekdays on rumble.com.
