Take a look behind the curtain with the real whistleblower, an American patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment defender and recovering FBI agent Kyle Serif. Well, hello, my friends, welcome to the Kyle Seraphin Show. Today is Thursday. It is June the 13th and we are rolling live over on rumble.com/kyle Serif and there is the live chat.
You guys can see it on the screen. Make sure you've hit the like button wherever you're watching us, especially if you're on Rumble. But if you're over on YouTube or you're watching on X, please join us over here on Rumble. I'll keep saying it. There they are. Look at them all going. Thanks to the Amrads, the American Radicals Podcast for rating our stream and joining us on there. Welcome all of you who are coming in for the first time. Thanks for joining us. We're going to have a lot to
talk about today. Every single morning I get up and I go like, what on earth is going on and out there? What are we going to talk about today? And there is an unlimited amount of ridiculousness. We're going to be talking about the FBIA bit because we can't help it. That's just the nature of our crappy relationship. But Chris Ray took a trip to Kenya. What's that all about? Made me think about jets, made me think about Jill Biden. So we're going to cover down on some of that.
The abortion issue is back up at front because it's possible we'll see something from the Supreme Court about that today. I'm keeping an eye over on SCOTUS blog. It's on my screen to the left. So if you guys see me glancing over there, that's what we're looking for. They're going to be dropping some opinions today possibly. So we're going to look for those.
Catholic Vote did a pretty good job covering down on a couple things, including the sort of Republican stance, running away from abortion as a winning issue. And that's an interesting thing. I think there's some far reaching consequences. We'll talk about those. We talk about Border Patrol and the lack of suspendable attitudes that they have. Don't be suspecting or expecting any more whistleblowers coming out at this moment, folks. It's just people are committed mostly to comfort.
It turns out. I'm not saying they're bad people. I'm just saying it's a lot easier to just keep plodding along and hoping someone else steps up. And that's the nature of the world. That's the way we live. And the last thing is, of course, we're going to be talking about Merrick Garland being voted and held in contempt. What does it mean? Just a little spoiler alert, It means nothing.
It's a shiny object. And I'll show you why, because the DOJ already told us this, and we knew this for a little while now. All right, before we get launched into the real meat and potatoes of today's show, let's say thanks to my buddies at Patriot Coolers. It's Patriot coolers.com promo code Kyle.

I've been having these weird social media debates with people and I've I've been trying to tune out of it a lot. I think some of you guys probably see this in your lives as well. Have you noticed that at some point in time in this country? And I do think this actually traces back to the advent of the Internet that disembodied, like just being a crappy person to people that you can't see.
And you're never going to have to face down in real life when you when you're like that, you don't tolerate dissent of any ideas. I keep getting people that are really mad. They're like, yeah, I just found out you're not MAGA. It's like, yeah, no kidding. I'm not. But like, that doesn't mean that Trump is not a better solution. It just means like I don't have the branding on my forehead. I also don't run around and talk
about Patriot all day long. And if you don't agree with me, then you can't be a Patriot. It's stupid. We used to actually know that in this country. We used to have this understanding that we might agree on a lot of things, but there are things that we don't agree on and that's actually OK. When we stopped allowing our friendships to have some minor disagreements on policy, on procedure, when we couldn't agree to disagree and still be civilized people. And that includes people on the
left and the right. But actually, it's really, really prevalent on the right. On right, That's what this cannibalism looks like. There's even more articles coming out today from some of the goofballs that are on the right side of things In general. They're just pissy. They're just, they're just like pissing contests about how come you don't agree with me all the way? And if you don't, then you're my enemy. It's foolishness. It's really petty, actually.
And that's I think why a lot of the people are seeing that the Republicans don't win, why people on the conservative side don't win things. It's not because we don't have total agreement. It's because we actually are trying to achieve total agreement, which is impossible. The political left is brainwashed in that way. They're fine with it. They're bought off.
Their outcomes are predetermined and they are fully comfortable moving forward with all the cognitive dissonance knowing that their ideas do not make sense to their other ideas and they don't care. If you want to be a thinking person, a critically thinking person who evaluates issue by
issue, who says, you know what? This person claims to be a Republican, but they have really bad policies and they seem like they're full of it. Or this person is saying everything that I like and it's all red meat and there doesn't seem to be any substance underneath. I'm looking at that state secretary of State-run out of Missouri, which just seems like a useful idiot to me. This female, whatever her name is, it's she's pretty and she jogs around and acts really tough.
It's like, you know who are actually tough people that don't do whatever you're doing running around in a plate carrier in Missouri. Like, come on, what what are you doing? If they're telling you everything you want to hear, that's the best time to be a skeptic. You want to be a thinking person? You want to do America. As my buddy Steve friend says, Steve talks about America being an action verb, as many of you guys just came in for the
American Radical podcast. So it's a really good time to talk about it. Seriously. You want to do America, you have to evaluate things critically. You can't tell me simultaneously that there is a rhino and those are the party, the people that are betraying the party and at the same time that we are going to have to vote and stand behind all the Republicans. Like, no, I don't do that.
I'm about outcomes. If your outcomes are garbage and you vote in bad ways, I'm looking at people like Lindsey Graham who seem only interested in trying to destroy this country, piss off. And if you're just going to do lip service, if you're going to be a Jim Jordan who's going to talk about protecting people and trying to get to the truth, and then your congressional investigations result in nothing, I'm looking at Chuck Grassley there too.
These people that are heroes on the political right, like, what are they doing? Are they doing anything for you? I think the evidence is pretty overwhelming that they are not. Let's launch into this craziness here. Just a kind of a weirdo story from our friends ex-girlfriend at the FBI. The this is really a good a a good example of why we don't need this nonsense. We don't need an FBI people. Do you know what the FBI needs?
They need the police. If you follow Steve Friend's Twitter feed, I don't know why I've mentioned him twice in a few minutes, but it's true. If you follow Steve Friend's Twitter feed, what you'll find is that the majority of the bragging rights that DOJ comes up with and the FBI takes credit for are done by local cops and task force officers. Pull the task force from the FBI and they are no longer
effective. They are no longer able to do the job they do. And this is a great example of it. This is an article coming from Zero Hedge. I think it's really amusing. It just says there are guns drawn outside the Seattle FBI office after an armed woman apparently threatened suicide and walked into the damn federal building. There's a couple things at play here. I don't have any real good inside to baseball other than I understand why this started to happen.
First of all, we have created an environment where somebody is going to do something really stupid. And by the way, the FBI loves this. The FBI management loves this. To the front office guys that are are the the brick agents rather that are out there doing the investigations of this, Probably not. You know, they're not your enemy in the same way that people that don't agree with me are not my enemy.
But this is inevitable. We are going to get an armed conflict, something that is going to confirm the biases of all those who said, look, it's really, really dangerous out there for law enforcement. FBI is law enforcement. Somebody's going to do something dangerous. That's why we need to step up our domestic terrorism investigations. I actually have something at the end of the show we'll end with to hammer this point home. A woman walked in and put a gun to her own head in the Seattle
field office. Apparently there's videos of it you can find all over social media. It's not that interesting to me. It's just a bunch of shots of the local police responding to the FBI. You have a building that has upwards of like maybe 200 people carrying guns. I've worked with the Seattle Special Operations Group, which is their surveillance team. I've worked with their SWAT team guys and guys who were on the SWAT team that were on surveillance.
And they are highly competent. Why are they not able to respond to their own emergency if they're actually law enforcement? And the fact the matter is, because they're not, they're not law enforcement. These people are not first responders. They don't know what the hell to do in an armed standoff in their own building. They called the police like you would. What the heck? These are armed federal agents with a deadly force policy. They're supposed to do something.
Here's the real problem. When we're talking about the deadly force policy in the DOJ, they made a really dangerous addition to it. It's actually very permissive, and that's actually what you want for law enforcement. They need to make good decisions. You need critical fingers on the street that are going to be engaged in things, especially local cops. They should have far more freedom to do the right thing at
the right moment. These guys that are out there on the streets carrying guns are often second guessing themselves to the point of their own physical danger. I don't want that. And if you can read the Officer Down memorial page, if you used to follow our show, you can still see my buddy Alpha and Sal Greco doing the the roll Call show. You know, we talk about cops that die because they hesitate because they know they're not going to get backed up by their department.
I knew when I was in Portland in 2020 that if I had to shoot one of these Antifa idiots that was doing really dumb and dangerous stuff. You don't like reaching for their waistband while approaching a government vehicle, knowing that I was in there and, and assuming that I was a federal agent. And then they're trying to like, provoke an action. I didn't shoot some people in the face when I had the opportunity to. And I probably could have justified it.
I think the FBI would have hung me out to dry. And that's why that woman walked in there, put a gun to her head, because DOJ added something that didn't used to be there. DOJ added a little caveat at the bottom of their little caveat list. There's a couple of things that you can't use deadly force during. It actually is just reminding agents how things work. It's not telling you something new.
It says you can't do a warning shot unless you are in the prison context, which means you have to be like a Bureau of Prisons person. That's normal, OK? They always say that you cannot shoot someone solely because
they're fleeing from you. There are ways when you could justify that if that person is trying to get to cover and they're trying to get behind a vehicle or something like that, so they could shoot back at you and be in better shape and you know that they are doing a tactical movement. You have to articulate it, but you can shoot a person in the back when you're doing that. And there's reasons why that's good for law enforcement to survive.
By the way, this is all Supreme Court decisions is all well within previously legislated stuff. The thing that they added that is different from the train that I went through in 2016 and even Garrett O'boyle went through in 2018, they added in the last two years this little caveat that says if somebody only presents a danger to their own life and not to anybody else, then you have to basically do a mind reading job and discern whether a suicidal person is also
homicidal. And there are, there's actually a scenario that every law enforcement officer has probably seen where somebody takes a gun, puts it to their own head and you're like, hey, don't do that, whatever. Then they turn, they shoot their secretary and they shoot themself and they're, if you're homicidal, you know, if you're suicidal, you're homicidal too. You're willing to kill a person. You've already decided to give it up. This is a really dangerous thing.
That's why you ended up, by the way, with the lady walking into that thing and the FBI being paralyzed because they added a caveat in there that's really dangerous. So now you got local police responding to an armed federal agency. It just tells you where the real work is being done. I think it's important to note that. I think it's important. Let me give you another little piece here.
I found this article kind of at random as I was clicking through things that I do in my background races. This is coming from The Economist, and I think it's a decidedly sober view of polling. We keep hearing on the political right, Trump is way up and all these things. What they're doing is they're actually averaging it out across like the certain states that they believe are going to be the most important when it comes to the 2024 election.
But across the board, this is a little piece, This is an average of latest polls. And if you're looking on the screen, what you're seeing is Donald Trump, Republican, Joe Biden, Democrat 4545, they basically are both sitting smack dab in the middle with Joe maybe one point lower in the averages against the poles. It's a 40 to 5040 to 49 type split. And you cannot, you have to see the graphic on the screen here. So tune in about 15 minutes.
And if you guys want to see it on the Rumble channel, they're neck and neck. And it's it's the reason is because this is not the best line up of candidates on either side. Can we just be honest about that? Like, really, is this really the guy? We're going to see some gaslighting from the political left? I'll play you some Nicole Wallace acting like a complete buffoon. She tells says, you know, Trump basically goes off the rails when he has no teleprompter.
That's not true. Trump's tired and he talks a lot. He says a lot of words, just like me. You say a lot of words really quickly and you're playing to a crowd and suddenly, you know, you, you misstep. It's no big deal. Joe Biden actually just freezes and gets completely full retard stands out there and does nothing with his fingers just twitching like a robot that's trying to reboot. So this is not a one to one comparison. There's no question who's more sentient between the two of
these people. But I did find this interesting because this article actually writes it up, says November 5th, Americans are going to go to the polls. There you go. They're going to elect the next president. The contest will feel familiar because the main candidates did the same thing in 2020. Joe Biden's the incumbent. He faced no viable competition in the democratic process. Why is that? Because the Democrats do not tolerate dissent. They will not allow for any conflicting ideas.
That's the vantage, I think of critical thinkers on the political right. We should be able to grab people who are independents when you present to them two basic ideas. One of these is better than the other. One of these is a lesser evil than the other. I'm fine with presenting either way. Move people to a better outcome. That's the goal anyway. Both these men are widely disliked. This is actually fundamentally accurate.
They all they go on and they say some crappy things about Trump, but it is what the left is saying. It's what's worth hearing it. OK, the economist leans left. There's no question about it. Based on this, Biden's presidency has been defined by high inflation, big industrial policy bills, and turmoil abroad. OK, that actually encompasses a lot of it. They actually missed out on the open border failures as well, which means that they've undermined national security.
But I think they hit the high points. The economy is in bad shape. They've tried to do a bunch of big government, big industrial policies that actually favor people who have a lot more money then the working class. And then they've opened up the border to allow working class people to basically compete with people who have no right to be in this country. That's a big deal.
And then you've got turmoil abroad, which is to say that we basically are on the verge of interceding into two big wars. Conflict in the Middle East, that sucks. Conflict in Eastern Europe, also not very good. It's as Mr. Trump supporters have tried to overturn his election laws in 2020. Did they though? And he faces federal charges over his alleged participation in that scheme. And it's until proven guilty. I just have a big problem with the way they presented this.
This is truly slanted. And then he's also been convicted of a felony related to his 2016 presidential campaign. The election will be less of a popularity contest. I think this is the most accurate than a referendum on which man America thinks is the least bad option. Maggot people, you're going to vote for Trump. We know this Biden people, They're brain dead. They want to vote for someone who's like them brain dead. That's perfect. Let them do that.
The fight in this election is going to be for who's the least bad character. For those in the middle that are not otherwise motivated, that don't hear Donald Trump and immediately feel their heart go pitter patter and they don't hear Joe Biden and immediately just fall in line with whatever stupid thing is being pushed out by the political left, which is in fact stupid. This has to be a referendum on who is the least bad option. I think Ben Shapiro is correct
when he says this kind of stuff. I know some people have like sort of fallen off on Ben Shapiro, but the guy's smart and you can't take away from him that he's correct. If the 2016 election was about who's worse, it was about is Hillary Clinton garbage? And she was, she loses this election is going to be who's done the worst job.
We've had four years of each and I think that it's pretty clear even with the COVID hiccups, which are significant, even with some of the anti gun policies which we're going to talk about, that's what SCOTUS is actually weighing right now. One of the things they're weighing is the bump stock ban.
That was not a good one. Donald Trump still comes out much, much heavier as a benefit to the average person in America. More money in their wallet, economy functioning more functionally, you know, no new wars. All these things are the things that I want to see hammered home on. So I'm sort of OK with this pragmatic approach. But I'm a little bit concerned because they're running away
from the life issue. And there are some values issues that if we on the on the political right here, and I'm concerning concerning myself as a conservative and not a Republican. If we're on the political right and we're not going to be involved in critical thinking and downstream effects of some policy changes, then we're also missing out. Like let the other side be the
party of zombies and fools. Let the other team just blindly follow some leader the way that they think that you follow Donald Trump. And there's certainly some people that make that argument pretty hard to fight. There's some very cult like behavior that I keep seeing, but we can do better than that. Let me just do a plug here for my friends at Catholic Vote because we're going to cover a couple articles that I think are very salient to this discussion.
catholicvote.org. You guys want to get the loop. It's a very good e-mail. It's been a little bit more Catholic focus than than of late because there's a lot of these issues, especially in the pro-life movement that are really dangerous I think, and I think their analysis is spot on. So we're going to cover two stories from them from the loop today, catholicvote.org/loop. If you just want to read it, catholicvote.org, the main page. You can sign up for the loop,
follow them on social media. And if you're not following them on wherever you're watching us, whether it be youtube.com/catholic vote, add that to your list. Check them out, give them a follow. And same thing on Rumble, catholicvote.sorryitsrumble.com/catholic Vote. That's where you're going to find Between the Lines. We've got a new episode coming out today. I think it's going to be a value
to you. These are short little snippets, you know, 810 minute long commentaries that are from a faith position, but they're also just kind of broadly touching on very important topics when it comes to values. So if you guys want to check them out, I recommend it. And I do it everyday. I read their stuff. And This is why we're going to get into this particular set of articles. All right, you're seeing two things on the screen right now. Analysis.
A new Internet privacy bill would undermine the pro-life movement. And you're like, why in the world is that? It actually has broader context. And Tom McCluskey, who is the sort of legislative director, I think I'll, I'll, I'll get his actual title correct. But Tom McCluskey is very, very bright. He's very connected over on the Hill.
And I think his analysis is, is what it takes to be an actual conservative, someone with critical thinking skills that sees, OK, here's what something says, here's what that means, here's what that does. And we're going to talk about the Internet privacy bill that's actually kind of floating around supposedly bipartisan. And the second thing is that there's a sort of movement by House Republicans to abandon pro-life protections in spending bills.
They've they've notably removed these protections in the new budget. They're basically trying to do this trade off. We're like, hey, we're not going to talk about abortion, but we want to actually reduce some of the budget by a certain amount of money. And I don't know if that's a good trade off because it shows a values weakness. When you show the the left weakness, you deal with real problems. Let's talk about spending bill first.
The Republicans are no longer considering adding a provision protecting unborn children from chemical abortion and spending package. Essentially, the goal of the spending package language originally was aimed to nullify the Biden administration rule allowing MILP, Prednisone or Miss Milprisone. Sorry, I'm terrible at saying medical names. I was actually terrible at that when I was a paramedic too. I hate, I hate the way we name
medicines. Maybe you guys are the same way as me. Anyway, sold retail pharmacies. They wanted to be able to dispense by mail. The bill was going to allow the Department of Agriculture. Why not, you know what, 10th Amendment revolution still on the thing and the USFDA that at least it makes a little bit more sense. More than $25 billion in discretionary funding for the fiscal year 2025, which would be a lower amount than they previously spent.
So they're trying to do this sort of like trade off. Can we spend less money? But we'll also give you a little bit of what you want, which is to say we're not going to explicitly outlaw this Biden administration rule. I don't think it's good. It's the director of government affairs. That's what Tom Mccluskey's position is over at Catholic Vote. Like I said, sharp guy, met him, like him a lot, very sane, very sober. He's constantly saying things
that make sense. He's saying that the larger issue here is that Republicans are abandoning the life issue. They're doing it slowly, but they are abandoning the life issue. And and that is a weak response. It shows melting. It shows that the left is continuing to actually control where the Overton window is. We've got to hold principles. This was a part of the argument that I made when I was on John Burke show the other day. I was on the All American Savage podcast and we had about a two
hour conversation. And one of the things we got to the end was a big question. Hey, is this about, is this about winning? Is it about principles? Do we just give it up? And the problem is, is the minute that you give up going after principles where you know things are correct, it means that you're willing to give up on the entire process of what we think we can do here. My wife and I actually had this discussion this morning.
She's changing the baby. It's like people, Do people even have a say in how the government works anymore? Well, the minute we stop doing that, then it becomes violence. That's the only way you can sway them. So we're kind of holding on, kind of hoping against hope, I think, on the right, because people don't want to get into an
armed conflict. If you're not prepared to see your loved ones shot in some sort of guerrilla attack in your own neighborhood, then I don't want to hear about civil war. I don't want to hear about you're ready to be, you know, tough it out. Let's bring it to these Lib idiots. Because if you want to get into a fight with your neighbor and you're willing to take on all of what that is about, that degree of violence, that turning the
military on our own people. And that means us shooting at our own military, by the way, people who I otherwise will ideologically, you know, agree with all the time. Why? Because they signed up to serve this country and they had some idea of what that look like, even if it just meant getting their college paid for. They understood that there was a trade off and that trade off included danger. They signed up, most of them in a time of war. I don't want to fight those
people. I don't want to fight my brothers and my sisters and my neighbors. I don't want to fight other Americans. But that's what's on the table. If you give up on the process, and that means that you either have to stand with principle or you don't do anything at all and you get ready to just start making war, you're not preparing and keeping keeping the peace. You've given up. So I think it is a problem.
And McCluskey says this thing here, he said it's a dangerous trend to assume that pro lifers are loyal to a single party. That should definitely be true. We're loyal to life. The problem is, is there's only one party that actually seems to care at all about it, and it's not doing a really good job. So that's not ideal suboptimal position. Here's the other piece, the Internet privacy bill. What you would think, Why on earth would that have anything to do with the pro-life movement?
And there's some really interesting downstream effects when you start doing things like passing this thing that is called the American Privacy Rights Act. Now, theoretically, we would think Internet privacy is pretty good. Good. I'm more of a fan of dangerous freedom. And so I will always tell you that I side on the fact of less bills passed equals a better Congress.
I want less of them doing whatever it is they think that they're doing because they're always going to spend our money to do something that is imperfect. The federal government is a terrible tool to use almost always, even when it's the only tool to use. So stay out of this stuff. That's my take on it. Federal lawmakers are considering and reading this
memo. It's distributed by the House Freedom Caucus saying that these this bill basically threatens unborn life in the bill and it's puts an undue burden on pro-life movements in the name of protecting children online. So the idea is, is that once they overstep, they open this Pandora's box of government legislation that also makes people potentially able to sue pro-life organizations.
The thing that I found to be the most compelling argument against it, and I think it's strong, again, coming from Tom McCluskey, he's quoted in both of these pieces 'cause this is something he's really good at doing. He said the big issue is about inhibiting law enforcement.
So you should perk up on this if you're part of the rule of law in general, maybe not FBI, but you want people to be able to hold the evil in this society accountable by the third party that we have all elected to give away. We're not going to do vigilante justice if we're going to have the government function the way it's supposed to. It says the bill would hamper pro-life states from investigating criminal abortions. OK, now we're talking about federalism.
Criminal abortions in pro-life states means the states, according to the Dobbs decision, are doing what they want to do. They are setting up laws. If they're not able to prosecute those laws simply because the federal government stepped in and overreached and said that they are going to basically eliminate the ability for certain information to be shared with law enforcement, we've got a real problem here. He says it would hamper the criminal abortion
investigations. If a 30 year old soccer coach gets a 13 year old pregnant on his soccer team, takes her for an abortion. The law protects the rapist the way that it's written as currently and not the 13 year old girl. That's a compelling argument to me. I don't want to see children sacrificed be, you know, because of some adults privacy concerns when they may have been violated the law.
And also you're on the Internet, you're in the public when you walk around in the world, somebody can come up and film you at any time. Why? Because you're in the world, you have a public face and no one can stop it. They could write anything about you. They can say where you went. This should not be and does not consider, should not be
considered a real threat. Like going into the world has some consequences to it. Going and acting like a fool in a McDonald's in public, people may video you, you'll go viral for trying to throw something over the top of the counter. That's just the nature of human interest. We have the ability to do it more than we used to. But you could have made the local news when you were in the 80s too. This idea that people think that they are protected from having their public action shared with
the public is false. And I've even talked about this like in some of my first Fox interviews, I went on on Gino's program, what is it called Unfiltered, and we talked about it. Your expectation of privacy online is very, very low. Almost none. You want to protect it, Do your own work. Go out there and spend money, VPNs and so on. Go out there and get end to end encrypted apps, but you're not
entitled to privacy. That's not real, not on the Internet. You're going through another person's apparatus, another company, and you're running all the stuff out there anyway. These things are dangerous if you're going to start using tools that sound good and get everybody on board because Internet privacy sounds like a thing we want, and then you realize it's actually going to protect pretty bad stuff. It's bipartisan, so it's likely
to pass. If you guys want to reach out to your representatives and say you've got concerns about this, you can do that. And you can also read this article at catholicvote.org, which I recommend 'cause you might as well, you might as well be educated on it. All right, All right. Should we get into the meat and potatoes, this fun stuff? Merrick Garland, what did he do?
Oh, OK. So here's Daily Wire talking about it. The House votes to hold Garland in contempt for withholding the Biden document case audio. What? That's not a good headline, is it? Come on, Daily Wire, you can do better. So what happened? We got Republicans with only one dissenting vote, went 216 to 206, and they voted to hold him in contempt. That's a big deal, being in contempt of Congress. He now shares some common ground with Eric Holder.
And you'll remember Eric Holder and his long jail term that he served right for being in contempt of Congress, or maybe he didn't. Why? Because nothing happens. This is a ceremonial thing. This is a shiny object. This is the running after and trying to get the raccoon type attention span that we have holding on to the shiny Dimes. It's going to get them on Fox News to talk about it and they can say Merrick Garland is very, very bad and all this kind of nonsense.
You got people on the political leftover. What is this at MSNBC saying it's an unfortunate stunt? It actually is a stunt. They're actually correct in this case. This is totally a political stunt. There is no teeth in this. Are they going to go to jail like Steve Bannon? Are they going to go to jail like you saw Peter Navarro? No, they're not. Now, why is that? Because the wrong party is in power. We are dealing with a completely weaponized government that is
working for partisan ends. And the guy who was appointed by the current resident of the White House, that guy is Merrick Garland. When you hold the head of the Justice Department in contempt of Congress, which is a Co equal branch of government, executive versus legislative right, and Congress has ceded its powers and has been ceding its powers for coming up on 100 years now, at least going back to 1946 with the Administrative Procedures Act.
They made the executive agencies more powerful than them. They ceded their authorities. They got nothing. Think about this. If you're held in contempt in a regular criminal case or even in a civil case where a judge gets sick of your behavior, they'll throw you in jail. The judge is not an executive. They just have the authority to tell somebody who's standing within the courthouse, who's carrying a gun, who can execute some sort of actual authority on you under the threat of violence.
They'll take you, they'll throw you in jail, and you'll go do 30 days for contempt. That's not how it works in this case. Congress has no one to do this. Or do they? They got a Sergeant at arms. Are they going to send the Sergeant at arms and the US Capitol Police to go out and grab Merrick Garland and set up this constitutional crisis? That sounds hilarious, by the way. Let's do that. We're already in the Banana Republic. Let's start pitting. Who's got the strongest flex?
Who's got the best arm wrestling capabilities? Congress does have an armed branch that has no right to exist, as far as I can tell. Like, I have zero idea why the Capitol Police exist. The what I call the National Mall cops. They're terrible. Maybe that's why they don't want to send them after a Merrick Garland. Wouldn't it be fun to set up that conflict? Merrick Garland and his his DOJATFFBIUS Marshall Service, blah blah blah.
You know, Merrick Garland has an entire detail of FBI agents that keep him safe and they follow him around everywhere. You want to do some funny stuff? You guys want to cry about the Merrill Lago thing? Let's do this for real. Forget that with the Mira Lago thing is nonsensical that you had DHS versus FBI. In theory, those are both executive agencies. No, no, let me let me see Capitol Police versus FBI security detail. Let's go put that guy in cuffs for contempt of Congress.
It's not going to happen. You know why? In the same way that the whistleblower complaints that we've thrown have gone nowhere, They've gone nowhere. And it's very simple why the government investigates the government and determines that the government has done nothing wrong. Here you are. This is actually coming from the Hill. This is not written that recently. It was written the other day, but it's a month old at least
document. It's a 57 page memo coming from the Office of Legal Counsel OLC in the DOJ. And this internal memo said that Merrick Garland would be protected from prosecution from Congress.
Given that Joe Biden has asserted executive privilege over the tapes of Joe Biden being interviewed by a theoretically nonpartisan organization that is obviously a partisan organization in the interviews he did with the special counsel's office, Robert her why are why are the Republicans even asking for this? By the way, if you don't know what happened was the the special counsel interviewed Biden, right?
We covered this year and the decision was as they were not going to indict him for any of the things, he clearly broke the law, which they stayed in their findings. But he's a kind of like sympathetic old man with a bad memory. And that was kind of that whole line of, of reasoning. And because of that, they don't want to indict him. That's prosecutorial discretion. They have that authority. Even if you don't like it. I don't like it. I think it's absurd.
I think it highlights the the dual nature that we are dealing with right now that we have this two tiered system of of government and justice. That's great. Actually for the arguments that Trump wants to make. They're right there. Let them sit fine. The problem is, is that they wanted to hear the actual audio tapes. Republicans says, hey, we've seen your transcripts. They look doctored.
And we can't tell how long the pauses are, how confused or the tone or the tenor or how sympathetic or if you're like nodding along or leading along. We want the audio. Why do they want the audio? Because it'll make really good sound bites. People, let's be real. It's going to make awesome sound bites for the presidential campaign that's going on. And they're not wrong. But Congress, they're a feckless organization that ceded their authority to the to the executive.
And now they want a piece of it and they don't get it. And it's because they've been doing this for 80 plus years. They weakened themself. Congress is supposed to be the first among equals, the most powerful branch, because they have almost all of the powers that are given. The executive has very, very little and Congress gave it
away. Now they're going to see the consequences of of of failing our American system by not abiding by the oath that they had and not keeping the Constitution the way it was supposed to be done. The GOP has the transcript. That's all they're going to get. They're not going to turn it over. And this memo already says it. He can't be prosecuted.
Why? Because executive authority, because Co equal branch of government, because Congress doesn't actually have the balls to stand behind the courage of their conviction, which is to say we want it. We have an authorized right to it. This is the reason we're going to go do it. No checks and balances. Yeah, you're exactly right. Sons of Liberty MAGA in the in the chat. So much for checks and balances. That's exactly it.
When you give up the authorities that the the founders put in, all of those checks and balances are hedged against each other. It's the same thing you see in our derivatives market right now where everybody is leveraging all these different things. You screw up one of those leverages and you can drop the entire House of Cards. The American House of Cards is based on Co, equal branches of government. That means you can't give up the authorities that make you Co and
equal. What's even more interesting is that the whole idea of judicial review that the Supreme Court asserted, they were actually kind of a pretty weak organization. They were weak, but they went out there and asserted a right, and now we have judicial reviews. So they actually bolstered their position, unlike the courts, which have bolstered their position. Congress has been slowly ceding ground to the executive since the beginning because it's hard
to do legislation. And that's how you get this kind of overreach. That's how you get this kind of stupidity. And we're going to get into Chris Ray's stuff in just a second. Seeing some of these guys. Some of you guys are ordering Mad Hat Jerky. It must be a Father's Day thing. I'm seeing some decent orders come through. If you guys want to get some of the best snacks out there in this country.

I think that's the way that it usually works out anyway, right? So get yourself a good sized bag of this. All right, let's talk about spending money in ways that are really good. FBI director Chris Wray, five day visit to Kenya Hua. There's this moment in the in the movie Jaws, by the way. It's one of my favorite moments and this I don't know why.
Hold on. Let me just go to the full screen here. It's my favorite moment in the jaws. My buddy and I used to do this all the time. We used to watch Jaws before we'd go deep sea fishing when I was younger, used to work for Dell and we'd drive down to the coast and we'd go off there and try to catch sharks and stuff. And I caught a bunch of sharks. And there's this great moment where this guy's like, that wasn't whatever that was not that was a tiger shark.
It was a shark. It was a tiger shark. You know, they had that like, really funny, like little thing, fifties, 60s, kind of talking about it. And the guy goes. And whenever someone says something so weird that I can't actually fathom it, like FBI Director Chris Ray spent five days in Kenya, in my head, I just hear the guy in from the from the jaws maybe going, yeah, there he is. Why did he go to Kenya?
What the heck is he doing there? He's on an official mission for an American law enforcement officer, a guy who's supposed to be directing this agency that does what, like investigates? Oh, because they're an intelligence agency and they're going to go make connections with weird countries like Kenya.
There's zero reason why the guy should be hanging out in Kenya unless he had like, maybe like a trip to Kenya that he was really hoping to go on because God knows what, maybe he was taking some people that really needed to go to Kenya for some fun. I don't get it. He went on A5 day trip there. The bed. The big news is that we always pay for this. That means it was an FBI security detail of like a dozen SWAT agents and people that work for him 24/7 that have to keep him safe.
Because like, because someone's going to recognize Chris Ray when he goes to flip in Kenya. You wouldn't recognize Chris Ray if he was shopping at your grocery store. I'm just going to tell you, even if he was in a suit, you'd be like, who's that asshole? He just, he has so little personal gravity. So that's what we've got. And it made me think about jets and trips and misuse of authorities. And I want to bring it back up again because this is another one of these things.
This was like, this is Trump's guy, right? He picked him. We're hopeful that he would pick someone better. But this is one of those missteps. And it's always funny. It always gets thrown back in our faces on the right. This is an article that you see there from Daily Wire as well. It's an old article. And the reason I pulled it up is because I contributed to it. Brandon Dre, who's a friend. Yeah. I think he's now with Fox.
He wrote about how Grassy was drilling the FBI director based on these daily, these Daily Wire investigations into Bureau use of the jet. It was AG 550. This is this Gulfstream, the $60 million aircraft that we, the taxpayers buy that we let Chris Ray fly around in. And that's his face that he has about it. And it reminded me exactly why this contempt thing is nonsensical. It's the same reason why investing in the FBI, the FBI director about his jet use
doesn't matter. None of these things freaking matter, do they? Because they've given the authority to do actual oversight and they don't. They don't stand by the courage or convictions by defunding the things that they could defund. Imagine if you just pulled DOJ funding. You're like, oh, you don't want to give us our tapes? Fine, we stop paying for your stuff, enjoy it. Not only are we not going to have the tapes, we're turning off the lights in your dumb
building. Send your people home. We're doing a government shutdown. This is why I said no one for speaker folks. This is my reasoning. Government is a terrible tool, and whenever we cannot use it, we should not use it. It won't surprise you if you see at the bottom of the screen here. The Fact Check is the FBI chief. He's not a chief, He's a director. Is the FBI chief Chris Ray required to travel on government planes? This is from November of 2022.
This is when I first went public with this stuff. And you won't be shocked to find it's Newsweek. Newsweek, a approved outlet for leaking information to the public that is favorable to the government. And so they go on this whole article, and they show that picture of Chris Ray's face going, yeah, screw you. This is after those famous exchanges with Josh Howley, right, where he's talking about him going to Sarnac Lake and not going to upstate New York. And he flies home to to Buckhead
every weekend. And also the kind of stuff because Chris Ray uses the jet, like every week he's flying our jet around. And the end of it is the Fact Check is, yeah, of course he's required to use it. Why is he recorded to use it? Because this is the actual quotes that the FBI give. They, they're willing to give statements whenever it's favorable to them.
The FBI says that explains the difference between the use of the FBI crafts for personal reasons between the Attorney General and the FBI Director. The FBI Director travels by government aircraft due to the FB is national security mission which necessitates specific communication abilities, capabilities, and security considerations. This is all crap. This happened in 2011 by the way. And Chris Wray pays the least amount of money possible for a private jet with a security
detail wherever he goes. Which makes you wonder, why do these people act like kings? I did an entire episode way, way back in the podcast that was called Politically Appointed Princess because that's how they're being treated. You get the perks of big government, big government aircraft, big government security. There's nothing more big time than having like a security detail move everybody out of the way and check out your areas before you go and have a burger at McDonald's, right?
What makes you feel more big time? Nothing. And that's why we see this article that came out yesterday, Jet setting. Jill Biden saddles the Americans with $345,000 in private jet use. Folks, that is nothing. There are millions of dollars at play with Chris Ray doing it, Jill Biden. And by the way, the reason I think I said this the other day, but I absolutely hate first ladies, all of them universally. You know why? Because they're not elected. And I don't care.
I don't care who your wife is. You're like, name me another organization where the wife or the husband of the person in charge of a large organization makes any difference whatsoever. It doesn't exist. Like who's the wife of the CEO of Walmart like, and what policy does she make? The only one I ever hear about is Jeff Bezos ex-wife 'cause she gives away his money like crazy to like dumb liberal causes. I mean, are we being really serious here as as a country?
The first lady's official position is nothing. Why is there an office of the first lady? And by the way, yeah, you guys are talking about Melania. Yeah, includes Melania and includes Jackie Kennedy Onassis. I don't care about any of them. Nobody elects these people. They're just people in the background. Should they be a decent human being? Sure. Do they contribute to the values that you're going to see in the candidate? Yes. They're not on the ballot
though, So give me a break. The idea that we're going to pay coming up on a half million dollars of this woman flying back and forth between Delaware and Paris and DNC and doing this. They don't pay for any of this stuff. They bring security details. They're always protected. And I get that, sort of, but Joe Biden is irrelevant, and I don't want to see us paying for this stuff. It's like the Obamas used to do
the same thing, right? They'd fly back and forth to Hawaii. This cult of celebrity in America is really gross, and it's bad on the right and the left. It's idolatry. It's quite the worst thing that we could do. It's the opposite of American values, which is to say that we try to have this like aristocracy, this noble class. You want to know why people think that they're above the law and why they're better than everyone else? It's because they're treated like they're better than
everybody else. That woman who basically is a crappy, you know, Community College teacher, she's not even a professor, right? She's a Community College teacher. Jill Biden is elevated to the point where she's got a security detail of a bunch of armed men and she flies around in a flipping private jet. Of course, she feels like she's special. Meanwhile, she's abusing her husband by making him go in public and do this stuff, right? Hopefully we get demonetized for
that too. Joe Biden just standing there aimlessly and confused. I'm just saying this stuff is weird. So let's get down to the some of the other issues that are going on. I think we covered down that Merrick Garland's not going anywhere. Oh, I, I actually threw this on the screen here, too. I've been talking about this for
over a year, folks. This is actually from the Daily Wire article going back a year with that picture of Grassley, former FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. Ah, yours truly tipped off Daily Wire to the alleged misuse of the bureau's jet, right? I talked about this stuff and here's what I said. Then I'm going to quote myself. Why? Because it's relevant and it's a year old and it's still correct.
The FBI continues to resist oversight from the statutorily defined committees in the House and the Senate meant to serve as guardrails for the FB is use of power and funding. We need to look no further than the behavior of this agency to see those running the Bureau believe they are above the elected representatives in Congress. And based on the increased budget year over year, there is no reason for those at the FBI to expect much in the way of
consequences. I hope Senator Grassley follows through with the consequences for this pattern of behavior. Do you guys see any consequences coming? Rhetorical question, right? The answer is no. Have the Republicans done anything? No. Holding somebody in contempt is not consequences if they don't actually fall victim to the thing that happens. When you're supposed to be held in contempt, you're supposed to experience discomfort, a loss of freedom, something that compels you to comply.
That will not happen and we talked about it over a year ago. Many of you know this is just a pattern of belief. I'm not saying something that is new to you. I'm just saying that I went on record over a year ago talking about this and these guys that we keep electing and women do nothing. They get out on Fox News and they think that is the victory because that's what you demand. Memes and Fox News hits. It's time to demand more. Otherwise, it gets violent. That's why I think speech is
important. That's why if we give them the pass, that they're allowed to do whatever the heck they want and nothing happens. These people need to be voted out of office. Maybe not voted for it all, and maybe the other side has to win in order for that to happen. How dumb is that? You actually have to give these people a real consequence where their grift of being politicians doesn't actually continue to pay. Not great, not a great thing. It's not a great look for any of
us folks. Not at all. All right, Nicole Wallace, like I said, she gaslights. I want to play a little bit of this. This is the real comparison that should be made. We talked about it earlier with The Economist when it says like, what's the, you know, who's the lesser of two evils? It's really obvious. And they're actually trying to play on the same field that we continue to attack Biden on, which is to say that he's basically a dead man walking.
His brain is not functional. And the people that want to vote for him must not be either. They're hoping that they can convince their voting group and and energize them enough to say that Donald Trump is equally bad. It's false. I'm going to play you a couple minutes. I'm not sure how far I'm going to go into this one. It's another one of those longer clips. Actually, listening to Donald Trump riff, you can just tell that he's like way more dialed in. She talks about sharks.
I'm not sure I'm going to play the clip long enough. So let me summarize it. She goes, he starts talking about sharks. What he does is he starts talking about a guy who makes boats, being forced into making electric boats. And then he's like, what happens if The thing is, you know, dropping down under the water because these heavy batteries and nothing's working and the batteries are going to get wet and there's a shark that's over
there. And we've had a lot of shark attacks lately because that's what Trump does. He just goes off on his tangents and he's like, people are talking about the shark attacks and they're like, oh, there's so many shark, they don't understand the sharks. It's not a big deal. Just the shark just wanted to chomp on some ladies arm. So he goes on this like little silly, weird thing. He's tired, he's in the sun, he's just riffing with people. And then he goes right back to
his topic. And he was like, yeah, anyway, the batteries and the shark or whatever. And they're like, we're not worried about the shark, we're worried about the batteries. And then, you know, you could get electrocuted or whatever, the blow up, whatever. All right. He actually has a totally coherent point. The only way that they can make Trump sound crazy is these jump cuts of him saying stuff.
The way you make Joe Biden sound crazy is you just play him and you just let him go and he just stops talking and he just blanks out there. And his brain has that like windows blue screen of death and the freaking, you know, turning over of the of the sandbar of the hourglass and it just sits there and spins. And he just, you know, he just doesn't know what's happening around him anymore. He tries to figure out what if he's still alive?
That's not Trump's problem. Trump just goes off on tangents. They're objectively different in this way. But let's do a Nicole Wallace gaslighting little thing here. Game changer. What's the question today? More specifically, what? If what? If the 2024 presidential campaign cycle isn't actually going to be fought on the ground that we today, right now, think it is, what if the question isn't, are we really going to do
this? We're going to maybe elect a convicted felon running explicitly on a platform that ends the American experiment in democracy. But on a more basic level, should we be asking a different question? Like, is he all right? Watch as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee celebrates a deadly domestic terrorist attack he helped incite on the United States Capitol.
As he openly shows contempt for and toured his own supporters standing in front of him as he rambles on and on and on and on about sharks, of all things. And rant so bizarre that Unhinged doesn't come close to capturing it. He just came up. Are the teleprompters not working? So not even a little bit. Great job. And then I don't pay the company that does it right. And then I end up with a story. Trump doesn't pay. I don't pay contractors that do a job. And that's a job.
That's a job. This is the worst border in the history of the world. There's never been no third world country has a border like that and no third. I'll tell you what and I hope the military, I hope the military revolts at the voting booth. I went to a boat company in South Carolina. All. Right. Then he goes on to the shark thing. It's like you didn't even let the guy finish the thought. You're trying so quickly to show that he doesn't know what's going on. Like he's just a guy talking
live. That's what happens when you talk live. I do it everyday. I know a little bit about it. You want to know what also happens when you talk live. You don't have any thoughts in your head. You repeat the same thing and on and on and on. Nicole Wallace is absolutely just God awful and terrible. But listen to the music. Listen to the propaganda feed, right?
It's very serious music. They're doing this news thing, and it made me remember this funny little piece that I found on the Internet. Yeah, I went on the Internet for you. I went into social media. I went into Instagram, which I despise. I think it's full of online digital horse. But we went there and found this.
And what it reminded me of is that with the right music, with the right lighting, with the right serious faces and the right kind of thing, that Scott Pelley kind of delivery, you can make anything sound credible. So what we're going to do right now is we're going to play a funny little experiment in in propaganda, and it's also really funny, so we're going to enjoy it too. Also, there's a terrible moment at the end that I will call out when we're done.
If you're listening to the audio podcast right now, what you're missing is wonderful cinematography. Slow zoom, close in, fades, pivot rotations of the camera, jump cuts to intelligent looking people making commentary that sounds serious with nice words. OK, you're going to hear the music. You're going to know that, but the entirety of this video is a man who's just like a regular dude. Like nothing more regular than anybody like than than this dude.
Cooking a hot dog? He's just a dude cooking a hot. Dog OK in a pan, not on a grill, not outdoors. Know it like the least amount of work with the crappiest amount of preparation. It's a dude washing a pack of hot dogs, throwing a hot dog on his pan, and then eating a sad hot dog and a bun with ketchup. That's that's the spoiler. The spoiler is is ketchup, which is obviously incorrect. You should do it with mustard. I'm just disgusted by the ketchup people. They must be Canadian.
OK, but listen to how it's framed. It sounds really serious. It sounds like a real thing. Here we go. Connor is a model of who the modern chef really is. If you didn't know him, you'd think. This guy's just even the cheapest food you can. Find. But there's so much more to it. The magic of his food lies in the simplicity. His flavor profiles are nostalgic, almost childlike. His food feels attainable and to me that's beautiful. So. So a cheap meal with Mitt Romney's favorite meat.
Thank you for the chat reminding me that that his favorite meats are hot dogs. Hot dogs are Mitt Romney's favorite beats. You guys probably know that. That's how billionaires love things. A cheap meal with the cheapest meat possible of random things thrown into a grinder that pop out into a sausage casing. They're nostalgic flavour profiles. They're almost childlike, aren't they? It's a freaking bun made with some sort of like enriched flower garbage and a crappy piece.
This isn't even like a nice hot dog. We just saw. By the way, if you guys are following the news about hot dogs, the the Nathan's hot dog eating competition, the world champion forever and ever again. This guy named Joey Chestnut, he stopped being in the competition, I guess for pride month. And and This is why you should have some veterans that are friends of yours because my buddies are like, yo, the dude who made a living eating hot dogs is not going to eat hot
dogs. My friends are from Long Island. They're they're not going to eat hot dogs in the hot dog competition. And you're like, oh, no, that sounds like a real problem. And he's like, what did you expect from a dude who eats wieners for a living? And it's like, what did I expect? Yeah, of course there's plenty of frotagene in that sort of statement. I don't know if you eat hot dogs for a living, Right. But I'm just telling you, this is propaganda. It's music, it's lighting.
It's, it's making it look serious. And they're all about trying to move you to some sort of theatrical position where you believe what they say, just like this. Biden just put out an executive order, did he not? You guys may see this somewhere else too. An executive order that's supposed to curb the illegal aliens crossing the border. And it's going to make people ineligible for asylum if they break the numbers. You know what the numbers are, y'all? Do you know what the numbers
are? It's 2500 people a day. Illegally crossing is going to trigger a backlash into locking them down. So they will lock down the numbers from 2500 to 1500. Now let's just say people walk right up to the limit and don't break the rule. 2500 people a day is 912,000 people a year. That's the Biden administration's version of locking down the border. By the way. He's being sued by the ACLU over this because the ACLU, the American, what is it Center for
Civil Liberties or what? ACLAC, American Center for Civil Liberties, I don't know. I can't remember what they're called anymore. Somebody put in the chat.
I forgot, sorry. The ACLU is suing him on behalf of non Americans. I don't think you should be allowed to use American in your name if you, I don't mean this in a governmental way, I just mean that we should just all reject you if you're going to use American in your name and then you're going to basically use our laws to try to fight for people who are not American. I just think there's nothing American about that. It's really gross.
But that's the thing, right? And, and so that's why we got this little piece coming out. You want to know why this is going on? It's because the Border Patrol's not suspendable. They're they've seen what happens. The government investigates the government and finds the government harmless. The government says, oh, you've been holding them in contempt. Well, we decided we're not going to do anything about it. Merrick Garland's going to continue on.
But if you break our policies, you're done. They know it and they don't have the courage of their convictions. Here's a little Border Patrol agent, a clip from CNN, Very interesting guy has his voice modulated and they're pissed. But he doesn't want to lose his job, which is my argument. Americans are addicted to comfort. What do you think this executive order is that going to do anything? We're all only cooking water three years and seven months.
In a rare encounter, we meet a Border Patrol agent eager to vent. He asks us to mask his identity, worried he'll be fired for talking so openly. Do the border. You don't have to babysitter. Does it frustrate you when you hear that? When you hear the narrative? Like, why aren't Border Patrol doing anything? And. Our hands and thoughts if I don't blow them across and they call them for blame, no, I'm in trouble. I'm going to lose market he. Blames the current
administration. What do you mean he blames the current administration? It is the current administration. By the way, the chat Kings week you come through for me. American Civil Liberties Union. Thank you. I know what it is. I just don't know what it's called today. That's just the way it works sometimes On this Thursday at a a Joe Biden moment, maybe. All right, it is this administration. What do you mean he blames this administration? And think about this.
Your job is to stop people from penetrating the United States border. But if you actually stop people from penetrating the US border, you lose your job. We're living in the upside down, folks, OK. And that's what's on the that's what should be on the ballot. Was it perfect under Trump? No, but those people come in and they take jobs from people who have the least amount of money that are most likely to be dumb and vote for Democrats.
They're actually voting against their interests, and they're probably also voting against their values. I cannot figure out why there is not more Republican outreach to Black communities. I don't know Black people that, you know, that I'm going to have conversation with. I've been in urban areas that are really shitty and there's like all kinds of drugs and gangs and bad, you know, there's stuff. But even a lot of those people
go to church. Like there's a fundamental Christian value system that exists for a lot of black people because it's still the common thing for most Americans. Turns out black people are Americans, too. Who knew, right? Republicans get on it. What are you doing? Start the outreach and do it based on values. It's like, hey, do you want to keep more of your money? Yeah. Doesn't that sound better? Do you think the government should provide for you? Would you like to be able to
earn on your own? Do you have hope and faith in your own abilities 'cause we want to empower that. Like, what's good for the goose should be good for the gander. The policies are good on their face. And by the way, do you care about babies or do you want people spending money on Planned Parenthood and killing off Black babies 'cause this could be a really good talking point? We don't see Republicans making argues on the merit to the issues. They always do these pandering
things and this is another one. The border, it's like, hey, when we bring people in illegally, they're taking jobs that you could go get that would help you step up in the world and make more money. And by the way, we'd like you to pay less taxes on that money. How you feel about that? That should be the way it is. The argument should be good on
the merits. And that's what we talked about with Dexter Taylor, who's now sitting in freaking Rikers Island because he made guns in the so-called land of the free. I'm just saying it should be easy enough to win this stuff and it's not because we're not paying attention to the serious stuff and we are being taken in by stuff like this. Nicole Wallace, by the way, this article that that's where I got this clip from. Voter ignorance is Trump's
superpower. It could also be his weakness, relying on disinformation, ignorance and voter amnesia. It's almost like a perfect projection. If you say it was serious music, then you can actually believe this stuff. This is coming from MSNBC. So hard left loony leftists. But let me just say, she sounds reasonable to people that want to believe this stupid stuff. Why? They want to believe it? Because look, she's got nice hair and she's smiling and she's
got the White House behind her. That's serious stuff they're talking about there. They've got the music, just like the damn hot dog video. And somehow I triggered a condiment war in the chat. I'm correct. It's mustard. And by the way, George Hill agreed with me. He actually sent it out and said that was the real travesty of the whole thing, which I agree with. All right, couple of things that are going on. It's worth noting this is non action, but let's keep it in there.
I want to keep you informed on all the things. the Fed had a chance to change interest rates. They chose not to. The Fed's interest rate mistake, by the way, they called it a mistake over at MSNBC because they're partisan advocates. Sorry, this is just NB CS, not MSNBC, same logo. The Fed's interest rate mistake is a gift for Trump.
What does it say? It says that the economy is not good, which is what Trump is arguing, which is what people who actually live in the economy, as they called in the military, living on the economy. If you have to go out and buy things, then, you know, things are expensive. Inflation sucks. The housing market is terrible, as we played yesterday, including the pallet cleanser, which was really fun for me. the Fed decided austerity measures
are still here. We're going to have to keep the interest rates at the rates that they've been at. So we're not going to see them cut, which means that the next time we could see this is maybe in September, just before we go into before we go into the election cycle, where it's actually going to be really critical. But they're calling this a gift for Trump. No, it's not a gift for Trump. It's just being honest. For God's sake. Who knew?
Yeah. the Fed is doing the thing that has to be done, which is like, act like an adult. And nobody likes the adults. That's what I've realized about Democrats right now is that I'm not mad at them because of the stupidity of it. It's because they're adults that didn't grow up through childhood. They want things like fairness. And everybody have the same outcome.
Do you know who wants that? Toddlers, if you give one kid a cookie and you give another kid 2 cookies, even though the other kid is twice as big and work twice as hard that day and can handle twice the calories, both kids look at it one's like, oh, I got twice as many cookies, I must be better than you. And the other one's like, why didn't I get 2 cookies? It's because you're 3, dude. I'm talking about my own house. Obviously here. You're three.
You don't get 2 cookies. Your sister who has 80% more body weight than you is going to get the other cookie. That's how it works. Democrats want. The they want that that equality of outcome. They want everybody to feel fair. That's not how the world works. Who told you the world was fair? It's a childish attitude. It doesn't mean that we don't try to help, but still. But think about this. The minute you get into be a teenager and something unfair happens, What did your parents tell you?
They were like, yeah, the world's not fair. Like, welcome to the reality. Oh, you had a consequence that somebody else didn't experience when they did the same thing. Yeah, that's how it works, dude. Not everybody gets everything all the time. Now you are a grown up. Welcome to the welcome to the difficulty of life. It's universal suffering. Find some meaning in it. Find some meaning in your suffering the way Jordan
Peterson talks about. And usually you do that by picking up the cross and trying to follow Christ. It works. Why? Because you better find some reason to do it. Otherwise you're just out there wondering why you have difficult outcomes. Sometimes my wife and I talk about it. Why is our road to hoe so much more difficult than other people? How come I felt compelled to say something when that Border Patrol guy feels perfectly fine with just doing as he's told and
keeping his job? I don't know, sound wired. I don't belabor it. I just offer it up. That's what we should be doing. But if you don't know how to do that, then you can vote Democrat because then you can be like, well, fairness, it's very childish. It's very difficult. It's difficult to overcome. All right, last little thing, I want to throw this out there.
This is a funny little thing. This is like a celebratory piece coming from also NBC, and they're talking about the Republican National Committee is preparing for a convention that Trump may not be able to attend. Why? Because he might be in prison because of his legal issues. That's what they're out there talking about.
I also contrasted it because Politico told us already that Joe Biden's going to be nominated virtually before he goes to the convention, just in case they have like, I don't know, a race riot and they can't handle it. And because they screwed up their order of operations, they booked their convention on the wrong day. And Ohio's ballot measure requires him to be nominated beforehand, otherwise he's not going to make it on the ballot.
So he almost misses out on going to be on the ballot in Ohio because he's a moron 'cause he's got brain dead people running. His brain dead campaign where he says brain dead things. Meanwhile, now you got them trying to say, well, the Republicans may have to deal with no Trump 'cause he's a convicted felon. They love that. By the way, the convicted felon is all over the place. So we're living in the dumbest timeline. And these two guys, the contrast is pretty clear.
But man, I really wish I could go back upstream and talk Trump into not running. I really do. It would have been better for this country. Find someone who didn't have all that baggage. Doesn't mean they wouldn't attack that person. I'm just saying throw the mag of vote behind the people. There's so many Never Trumpers that are so angry. They will never change their mind because they are also irrational and they can't look at what's good for them.
It's going to be ugly coming up in November, folks. Just get yourself tucked in for it. The inevitability of whatever they decide to do when it comes to prison or anything else, it's not going to be good. You should prepare yourself mentally. People are shocked that he was convicted in New York.
That was inevitable. And if you think that those idiots that are running that kind of playbook, the people who came from DOJ, that weaponized little organization, stepped over into Alvin Bragg's office in the prosecutor's office in Manhattan and then convicted a former president of nonsense, think about what they had to do to get there. They had to pass a law that allowed them to basically overcome the statute of limitations.
They had to make some arguments of some underlying crimes at the FEC or that the Federal Election Commission did not actually go after in a federal sense. Then they had to go after and convert and try to use a convicted liar to impugn the honor of a guy who's not been convicted of anything up to that point. And then they got 34 guilty counts. You think they walked all the way up to that edge, did not put this guy in prison?
You think that they're going to suddenly have like a moderation, They're going to have retrospective and go, oh, this is a bad step. We should probably let the political process play out. You think that's what's going to happen? Is there any evidence that that's going to happen? Because I don't think so by I'm just saying it doesn't seem like that's the way it's going to go
in my world. Last thing I'm going to show you, I'm going to tell you why weaponized government is so dangerous and scary because this is the other piece We started off talking about the shooting or the woman putting her head a gun to her head and going to the FB is office. Here's the last little piece. I want you to see this. We'll talk more about it with Steve friend tomorrow. Arizona man charged with selling guns to use in the mass
shooting. I'm not I'm less interested in the fact that he was charged, but more about what goes on. We refer to it as the playbook, hashtag, the playbook. The playbook is continuing. The FBI continues to do it. That's DOJ prosecuting it. They're perfectly fine with it. And that's Merrick Garland, who was just held in contempt. They're totally cool with this. And what is he? What was he indicted for and what was he arrested for? You guys? Ready.
Firearms trafficking, transfer of a firearm for use in a hate crime. I didn't even know that was a crime. Transfer for firearm for use in a hate crime. Get the hell out of here. And possession of an unregistered firearm. The indictment shows that this guy, whose name is Mark Adam Prieto, he was in Prescott, AZ. He met up with two individuals who happened to be working for the FBI. What do we tell you on this program?
If you meet someone that agrees with all your worst ideas, they want to help you carry them out for the exact amount of money you got, That's a fed. They're not your friend. They devised a plan to commit a mass shooting on African Americans and other minorities to incite a race war before the 2024 presidential election. The FBI's boner is extreme when it comes to race war people. We've seen them go after people who are going to shoot up a power grid in order to trigger a
race war. God, they love the race war idea, don't they? This is the playbook. Somebody from the FBI reaches out to you and tries to get you to do something stupid. You're stupid, so you agree to do it. You sell them rifles. So they got him on the gun charge. He sold some a KS and some ARS. Even better, we can get into the gun control game. Early in the investigation, they were monitoring his movements and then they stopped him and he was in possession of seven firearms.
He was taken into federal custody. Then they did a search warrant, his home in Prescott. They found more guns and luckily they were even able to find an unregistered short billed rifle, AHA National National Firearms Act violation. Now we've got all these different felonies and now we're going to come after them. And it's all about race war. Because people are racist because they want to sell guns to kill people because guns are racist. This is the FB is narrative.
Why? Because there's money behind it, the stupidest possible thing. And did somebody go, hey, you know what? This is entrapment and this is crap. And like this guy wouldn't do this if we weren't out there trying to like incite him into it, that this would never have happened without the FBI being involved in it. No, nobody has that sort of sense. So they keep going along to get along. They keep doing their job, just
like the Border Patrol guy. They keep letting people into America even though it's against what their their rules are. There's no fairness. There's no constitutional thing. Did anyone stop and say, hey, this guy has a fundamental right to sell people guns and whatever they decide to use them for, that's their business. And if they if they're actually federal employees, then what on earth was the actual possible underlying crime? It doesn't exist.
Our court systems are pretty weak on this stuff. Our Congress does nothing about it either, and they're just refunding these people. There you go. This is the danger of having weaponized government. The government is seeking an outcome and then they go out and they deploy it. OK, Should we do a palate cleanser? It's Thursday. Many of you are on a work travel. If you're listening to this on a plane, you had this experience.
This, I think is also sort of the the cost of gaslighting is that we don't believe these idiots anymore. I hate travel, I hate getting on a plane, I hate going places, I hate leaving my house. We're going to cover more of that tomorrow because I think it's really funny. I've got a good palate cleanser already queued up for this. But here's one of those moments. How many things have we even lied about on aircrafts in the last, let's say, I don't know, 5
to 8 years? You had to wear masks, but you could take them down to eat and you could drink a coffee cup. As long as you're drinking, then you could keep the mask down, but then you had to put the mask back up. And we are acting like that air was really dangerous even though there was no transmission of anything because they have the best filtered air, blah, blah, blah, right? How many times have they told you we are in a 100% booked full flight? We are overbooked folks.
And then you get in, you sit down like the people like in the rows behind you, like they have like extra leg room and there's no one sitting next to them. And you're like, what the hell happened to the 100% overbooked flight liars. Or you go and they go, we are completely out of the overhead bins. The bins are all full. There is no more room and you will have to check your bag.
And then you go, OK, fine. You check your bag and you walk in and then you're like, and there's something like 8 or different, you know, 10 different spots. Folks, we are running out of overhead space. We need to check your back. I hate those things. I hate travel. I hate all of it. This guy also understood it. So here's a song that will make you guys laugh about this. You're constantly being punked except when they're actually telling you the truth.
They should have a code for this time. We're serious. I think these guys totally understood it. It's a funny song, so enjoy. The fighter did it at the gate. She wants everyone to know that the plane is super full and she needs a volunteer to check a bag. Now we have to wait and there's nowhere we can go. So for now, we're stuck at home until someone says goodbye. Walking around I can see some suckers, hard to take the bait, but not me.
I'm built different. I'll know I'll find some space, get it down the jet way. I give a thumbs up to the pilot. I check the aisle. I look to my left, I look to my right and sure enough I'm bust. There is literally no Rd. There is nothing he can do. Now I gotta go back up the jet way with my fucking bag while everybody waste. That's my bad. I didn't think that they were for real. If there was literally no more room, they should have said there's literally no more room.
I don't know why I really like that. It sounds like something from like an 80s air supply, the style, the ballad, the rock ballad. It's like that's my jam. If you guys think like I don't like angry music, I like that kind of music. I think that's great. Anyway, thanks for joining us today on rumble.com/cal Serif and I hope you guys have given us a like you're seeing the live chat. Some people say they like to drive, Some people tell me like to fly. I don't care.
I hate travel, I hate all of it. I don't even like driving. But if I'm going to go somewhere, I'd rather drive than not. So now you guys heard it here first, let's do a 5 star review. That song is going to stick in your head by the way. Go back and listen to it again. It's really good. I'll have to try to post their Instagram link because I enjoy. All right, here we go. So here's a 5 star view coming from Stonko 17. Stonko 17 says 100% real B5 stars.
Wildly interesting, provocative and well framed, articulated, argued. But also what these reviews don't mention enough is how funny this human being BEAN is. I'm gut busted at least once an episode. All right, can I give you guys the real story here? I know who Stonko is. Stonko is a friend, but I'm very flattered that my friend Stonko listens to the podcast sometimes. And I really like human being BEAN. So Stonko and I like to do something that many of you guys will enjoy doing.
It's something I used to do in the FBI. There are certain words that when I hear them, I correct people to the incorrect word. If you were to say human being, then Stonko would say human being just to screw with you. And one of the things that I used to do in the FBI is that when people would say horses for any reason, like, oh, my daughter, she's she's in a horseback riding competition. I would say horses horsey back and they would look at you like what? I don't know why.
It's just like the cross eyed bear. I always correct people when they say horse. I say horses, including Mark Naughton, whose daughter rides horses and it's very funny because they don't know what to do. They don't know what to do with a grown man with a beard and a scar on his head who says horses with a straight face. That's the way that I, I, I play it. So thanks for appreciating that Stomco. We appreciate all of you. Thanks for joining the program y'all.
I hope you guys had fun with us today. We're going to do a friendly Friday tomorrow. If you guys have any questions, comments, sarcastic remarks and you do have some, some of them are super weird.
