Are you familiar with FBI Special Agents Kyle Serpen? I'm familiar with the name. Is that yes? I'm familiar with the name, familiar with the name, familiar with the name. Let's bring in Kyle Serafin. He's the. FBI whistleblower who helped expose. Government censorship of our First Amendment rights. Now, we only have this memo because a recently suspended FBI agent called Kyle Serafin brought it to the public. And we're grateful that he did.
Kyle, thank you so much for joining us tonight. He's the host of something that, strangely, is called the Kyle Sarah Fish. Kyle, Sarah, I can't thank you enough for speaking out. I knew you guys were out there and I knew it was just a matter of time. But you got a lot of guts putting your face and your name to this. You're doing a service on behalf of the American people. And from the bottom of my cracked and broken heart sometimes, thank you very much.
Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, 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 Seraphin. Well, hello my friends, welcome to the Kyle Seraphin show. Today is Monday, it's November the 18th and we are rolling live and we're rolling live in a couple of new places. So if you are not following us
over on X, go ahead and do that. It's Kyle Seraphin Pod. It's at Kyle Seraphin Pod. We really appreciate a follow over there as we kind of build up a individual, not just the Kyle Seraphin mean tweets, but actually a place for the show to live. Thanks for all of you guys jumping in. I know that we had kind of like a KSS savings time for a week and now we're back at our normal time and it feels better. I felt out of space. I felt like my week was completely off centered.
Many of you told me the same thing. So we are accommodating you and we are back in the mornings where we belong at 0930 Eastern Time. We'll be doing it five days a week. You guys can rest assured we're back in place today. We're going to be talking about being out of touch, and that has kind of a little double entendre to it.
I think you can be out of touch physically, which is to say that you're not grounded, that you're not touching other human beings, that you don't even know what's going on in reality. And then there's this kind of play on words because apparently whenever you want to get rid of a new Trump cabinet pick, you make allegations of sexual misconduct. Very interesting. The reason this came up to me as I was reading something from Nancy Sinatra of all people.
The boots are made for walking lady. She posted. Did this on X over the weekend. Does it make you mad? It makes me so mad that there are numerous sexual misconduct allegations against Clarence Thomas, Brett Kavanaugh, Donald Trump, Matt Gaetz, now Pete Hagseth. So it's always about sex for them, isn't it? And then when it comes to women, they want to discredit their intellect. They're choosing winners and losers in the victim game. So we're going to talk a little bit about all of that.
And the left continues to meltdown. And we're seeing that there's only one way for people to get back in touch, and that's actually go out there and expand your horizons and not be terrified of ideas that don't necessarily constantly reaffirm your worldview. Before we get any deeper into the weeds, let's go ahead and say thanks to a sponsor that is pushing our program into its spot where it belongs and say thanks to our friends over at My Patriots Supply. Should we get right into the
weeds? Let's do it. So you guys know that we kind of have a minor obsession over here about the issues and the the things that are going on in the FBI. One of the ways that you stay out of touch, the one of the ways that you get out of touch and stay out of touch is by not realizing the truth on the ground. And it's really hard to know what the truth on the ground looks like. I think the federal agencies have an issue with this. This is why we have whistleblower protection laws.
The purpose of a whistleblower is to come forward and say, hey, I work inside this agency. There's a real problem going on here and it is a conduct of sexual misconduct, which by the way, is massive at the FBI. It might be a thing where we say we're losing things and we don't know where our money is. You might see a fraud, waste and abuse whistleblower.
But there are narrow parameters that people that work inside the agencies can come forward and solve the problems by exposing the problems to those who have oversight unless they can't. Now, one of the things that we have been able to do, me Steve friend, Gerardo Boyle, George Hill, Marcus Allen and various others is expose the fact that the FBI has been rotted to a very core group of people that have now pushed out a management
culture that sucks. And this is uniquely interesting right now as we start talking about whether or not Donald Trump is going to be able to get his cabinet picks in. Here's why. This just came out over the weekend. I guess it may have been actually may have been on Friday. This is from Carrie Pickett and Jeff Murdoch over at Washington Times. Yeah, it came out on Saturday. So I'm correct. Whistleblower warns that the FBI cannot be trusted with background checks for Trump
nominees. I want you to think about this. One of the slams that the political left is going to hammer out there is saying that if you can't get the FBI to approve your cabinet choice, then they probably are a bad cabinet choice. In fact, we've seen people in the talking head media come out and do this. Well, this was the last little thing that the Bureau thought that they could hold on to in order to control what happens in Trump's administration. They might not get the director
they want. They may not get the deputy director they want, but at least it's security division would remain untouched and be able to not grant the types of investigations in a fairway and not adjudicate clearances. And Donald Trump has just said I'm not going to use them. There's a reason why you would go that route.
An official FBI headquarters, by the way, I've, I fact checked this with the original source that Carrie Pickett uses and also someone that I have known for quite a while may or may not have been on this program at some point. Official at FBI headquarters in Washington, DC is warning that the bureau's security clearance division is politicized.
These are the same people that pulled my clearance, that pulled Garrett's clearance that said they were going to target people who are Christian, that wanted to stop folks that believed in God and thought that was ridiculous. These people, the same ones that went after veterans. OK, I just want you to know what the security division is. And if you want to hear a really fun conversation with someone from the security division, go look at the beginning of this
Rumble channel. If you're watching us on Rumble again, it's rumble.com/kyle Serafin. Go back and search for my call with the FBI's internal affairs division, which actually is a thing. For those of you that are FBI agents that don't know there's an IA, there is an IA. It's different than OPROPR assigns the punishment and they're the ones that review. But Internal affairs actually does the investigations from what I was able to piece together.
And I have a really fun call, phone call with one of them. OK, these people said that we said they can't be trusted to handle the top administration job clearance investigations. Allegations of political bias of the Security Division or SEC D were revealed by protected whistleblower disclosures again to Congress, this one again to the House Judiciary Committee. And The Washington Times got a peek at them as they went over.
The official said the security clearance process has been, quote, contaminated by the political agendas of security division officials and other executives in the FBI. The FBI SEC D has been politicized and both Director Ray and Deputy Director Abate, that's Paul Abate, have the ability to examine the background investigations of anyone who's having a security clearance done, says the
disclosure. In other words, if you have pro Trump views, these are the same people that used a questionnaire asking whether or not someone had favorable views about Trump, negative views about COVID vaccines and mandates. This kind of thing was being pushed forward in this division and they can't do it. I'm going to give you something else that dropped a couple days ago with very, very little
fanfare. When I showed this to a couple of folks that evaluate the intelligence community for a living, they were blown away by this whistle blower protections. This is a piece that comes from the general, what is this called? The Government Accountability Office, GAO, It's supposed to be sort of a watchdog group on the government and the this was published out on November the 12th of 2024. Whistleblower protections, DOJ and FBI need to improve employees awareness of rights.
What you're seeing on the screen right now is an absolutely wild graph. It's truly nuts to me. And I'll tell you why it's nuts because what it shows is the whistleblower retaliation complaints that were closed by the Department of Justice 2009 through 2013. They did a four year analysis and the number is not actually spelled out there, but it looks like it's roughly about 60. It's somewhere between 50 and 100 and a closer to 50.
So let's call it 60 complaints. It's a nice even round Number. Let me actually cite this deeper to the piece here. But the graph itself is so telling. And then they did an analysis of the exact same problem, whistleblower complaints that were closed. By the way, when they close your complaint, it means that they didn't hold that you were actually either a whistleblower or that you were retaliated against. My complaint was closed. Garrett's complaint was closed.
Steve Friend's complaint was closed. You get the idea. Between 2018 and 2022. Mine was done in maybe 2021. I want to say something like that end of 2021 and that's when it was closed out in 2022 after many, many back and forths of them just basically kicking the can down. The whistleblower complaints that were closed during that period are closer to 325, like a 6X increase in closed complaints.
That tells you that there are more whistleblowers that happened between 18 and 22. It also tells you that they didn't get any protections. So it's not really about improving the awareness of their rights. It's actually about the agency doing the job that they are required to do. The funny thing is, is here they make a mention that you should be able to exercise rights to seek creative corrective actions rather under the United States Merit Systems Protection Board, the MSPB.
Now, I went to the MSPB and the judge there seemed pretty fair, but they also said there's nothing we can do because what they did in retaliation was something that you cannot defend against under the current regime. It's what Gerardo Boyle is actually trying to change. The thing that the the FBI discovered, and they used security division to do so, was that they could revoke clearances and that you have no right to a clearance.
This is under a court decision from 1989, if my memory serves, Navy versus Egan, e.g. AN you can go back and read it, but essentially what it says is that you have no right to a clearance. It's the government's purview to grant it or not grant it. And they can do so for any reasons they so choose. And they have these what are called adjudicative guidelines. They're a through alpha, through echo. And as they list them out, one of them is for personal conduct, which is very subjective.
And it could be things like liking Donald Trump or refusing to get a vaccine shot when in fact, you have pending litigation. So they revoked clearances of all the guys, hence the name, the suspendables. It's literally where we got the idea they suspended clearances and then we were suspended forever.
And this is a problem that is going on right now, and it's affecting the Trump administration as they try to get their people in. There's also this other sort of piece of being out of touch, and that's the mainstream media piece of it where they just cannot handle, they cannot process what they're seeing in front of them. They don't understand how they got voted out. They don't understand what the mandate looks like.
So they're going to go on TV and say things like this, which to me seem really absurd, but let them continue to play this game because they will lose as long as they do. You know, there's a Turkish proverb that if a clown goes into a palace, the clown does not become a king.
The palace becomes a circus. And we're seeing the transformation of the American presidency into a circus with Telsey Gabbard as the potential director of national intelligence and Matt Gaetz as the potential attorney general. And both are absurdities. Both will make an absurdity of the federal government as we know it. I mean, Telsey Gabbard might be compromised.
And as the director of national intelligence, you know, you have a bird's eye view of all the Intel of the federal government. And I have no confidence that she could be trusted with leading the intelligence community in the United States. So the Senate should reject her and then Matt Gaetz is the subject of a sex trafficking investigation. If that is not disqualifying, then I'm not sure what would be.
What should be disqualifying is if you have old information and you don't have complete facts and you're a representative Congress going out on television saying things like this. That was Representative Richie Torres, who apparently needs to invest in a dynamic microphone so that he can throw the off axis sound of the police chase that's going on in the background or the ambulance response that's happening
outside of his office. Anyway, audio visual examples aside, this is sort of the out of touch nonsense that we are getting and it's been represented through the politicization of the FBI. That's a really hard word, isn't it? Politicization. This is another story that was trending from MSNBC.
You guys may have already seen this, but the FBI says that Hispanic, LGBTQ and black people got threatening text messages after the election saying that they were going to be deported, that they were going to be put into re education camps. This is what the FBI spending their time researching, investigating, looking for, not election fraud, not the fact that Chicago continues to count ballots and they are basically 90 to to 10 going towards Kamala Harris so they can try to
overturn this popular vote. No, that's not what they're interested in. Not the fact that we've seen people in PA that have expressly said that they are going to be counting ballots that it looks like the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has said are illegal. They're not looking into fraud. They're not looking into actual threats. In some ways, they're looking at this nonsense because this is politically expedient, at least
for the time being. Hispanic, LGBTQ plus people and black folks got some text messages that probably originated overseas. The FBI had official statements about this coming on. This is MSNBC reporting from Clarissa John Lim. They're investigating a barrage of racist text messages, which by the way, in America, I'm pretty confident without an explicit threat, you're actually allowed to have racist text messages even to strangers.
You can post them on Reddit. You can send them out on social media. It's going to come up later. But this censorship idea that the Democrats had, it tells me they're out of touch. Some recipients reported being told they were being selected for deportation or report to a reeducation camp. This is what the FBI, it reminds me of them going after the Bubba Wallace news.
You remember that where they had this huge and outside response to not the real threats and there are real threats and apparently they're going to fall by the wayside, things like this. Do you guys remember we talked about the pressure testing in the red cell of Quantico military base? This is the Marine Corps base. There's also ADEA headquarters there and the FBI does training.
The federal government has decided to dismiss the charges against the Jordanians who were prosecuted for trespassing on that base. These were a couple of guys that moved in on a moving truck. It is being reported again by The Washington Times. Sometimes you just get good story after good story. How interesting.
These two men, a guy named Hamden Youssef Hassan and Muhammad Kalier Hassan Debous, were stopped by centuries when they tried to drive onto the Quantico Marine Corps base, which is in Prince William County. This was in May. And they just said that it just is in the interest of the ends of justice. Boilerplate language that dismissed the idea that two Jordanian immigrants were trying to sneak onto a military place. And everybody has questions like, why were they doing that?
What was the end game? Did they recruit these guys as sources? Maybe? Are they sending them back? Or we just decided to be soft on terror? There's no answers, by the way, to this. The DOJ doesn't have to answer questions. This is why politicization is such a big deal, because we don't have any faith in you. We don't have any trust that you're going to do the right thing. They're completely out of touch. They're going to focus on things like text messages.
I'll give you a little example of someone who continues to be a voice of sanity over on the left. We don't love him, but he does make some sense. And so let's play people that make sense on the left when they do. Here's Bill Maher getting in touch with reality and talking about the numbers. The numbers are already pretty clear.
Why people, when you choose the wrong topics, when you talk about things that are not realistic, when you try to run like your voters don't actually live in the world that that they live in, they act like Democrat voters have never been to the grocery store. And I think it played out predictably in November. I'm actually shocked that we let this go forward. But I think there was such an overwhelming groundswell. Nobody could have tried to lie to these people here. Here's Bill Maher.
Democrats run for office as if the voters don't live here, as if they don't go to the grocery store and Starbucks and the office. But they do. They live here, and they actually see women and people of color, and it doesn't look like some patriarchal, racist nightmare. Do problems remain pertaining to racism and sexism? Of course. But a poll last year asked if America is the greatest country in the world. More blacks and Hispanic Americans agreed with that than the white progressives.
It asked if racism is built into our society. White progressives agreed with that at higher levels than black and Hispanic people. It asked if government should increase border security. Same result. Hispanic Americans are less OK with illegal immigration than Whitey. The votes are in. They don't want your pity, and black people can't afford to indulge. Rich white people's need to endlessly flagellate themselves. They just want prices to go down
and good jobs. And the police, when you call them black people, they're just like us. Oh man, the party of racism. Yeah, Black people are just like us because they're just people. There are certain subsets of the community that are clearly antisocial and doing antisocial things, but when it comes to regular people everywhere, they
kind of have the same problems. This is the whole thing that you learn, and you learn it by doing things like, I don't know, interacting with actual Black people. It's one of the great things about being an enlisted guy in the military is that you just deal with people and you all are basically pond scum. If you're enlisted and you're an E1, an E2, an E3, nobody cares what you think. It doesn't matter what your skin color is. It doesn't matter who you love or you want to go home with at
the end of the night at a bar. This is stuff that some of us learned. It's pretty straightforward, you'd think. I'm going to give you an example of someone who's totally in touch. My my mom was asking me the other day. She's like, hey, is JD Vance OK? Where's he been? I'm going to show you where he's been. He's been talking to people, giving his thank yous out. We're going to go there in just a second.
Before we do, I want to say thanks to the buddies over at at Catholic Vote. And the reason that you should be checking out The Loop is because you're going to get stories that you might not otherwise find anywhere else. You can find them at catholicvote.org. You can get The Loop over there. You could follow them on social media at Catholic Vote. Here's my copy of the Loop that came into my e-mail. You probably can't read it from there. Maybe I'll pull it back here.
I'll pull it up to the screen. Listen, this one, this is a really good story. You guys should check this out 'cause we're not going to cover it today. Research shows that the decline of religion correlates to an increase in rape and suicide. And of course, it is written by a guy named Tyler O'Neill. You'll recognize the name. He's a former guest of the Kyle Seraphin show. He was with us the other day and he works for the Daily Signal.
Recommend you guys go check out the entire loop, which you can find at catholicvote.org/loop. And you can also read the story that Tyler wrote. You can also watch that old episode that we did with Tyler, and I recommend you guys do that as well because he's actually a pretty fascinating guest. Really interesting message talking about this thing he calls the Woke to Pus, which is where these people are at.
It's where these media organizations, it's where the the money goes to influence and why we have such a problem in our government. And there's all all kinds of analytical ends of it, but they all come back to the same thing. People who are out of touch, trying to drive agendas that don't really affect Americans. And Donald Trump is a slap in the face to that. And so is JD Vance, who seems
like a pretty regular dude. I heard a great story the other day and I almost played it on the the program, but I didn't only because it was really, really long. It was like a 15 minute long clip of him talking about the first time he ever made any money and he was hired on to do something. I think it was he was actually still in law school. So he was he was going to Harvard Law Memory Service and he had to go order a white wine. He asked for, they said, would you like a glass of wine?
He said, sure, I'll have some white wine. And they said, do you want a, do you want a Cabernet or a Sauvignon Blanc? And he said I ordered the Cabernet because I could pronounce it. And I was like, this lady is really test to me because I've never really had to do that before. I don't know. I just I don't know the answer
to this. He was and has been a regular guy and recently enough in his life that he's not Mr. Fancy Pants. So here he is talking like a regular person, giving a thank you to folks who need to hear it. This is what it looks like when you are in touch. You talk about your kids and your dog taking a crap next to the press corps on a plane, which I'm not crazy about dogs pooping on planes, but if they're going to poop next to somebody, might as well be the
media. Well, good evening, everybody. It's great to see you. And I want to thank Brooke and Linda for putting together such an amazing organization. You know, I, I people, I asked me what my favorite day on the campaign trail was all the time. And I think clearly the the best day of campaign trail was the day that we won.
Maybe the second best day of the campaign trail was the day that my 4 year old walked into the back of the plane the the Trump forced soup plane and told the media that they were all fake news. And then not 15 minutes later our German Shepherd puppy walked back there and took a shit. Right. I think that speaks to how we think of the fake news in this movement. But I'm still worried that I've been getting accused of domestic terrorism for what we all did. All right, we'll break away from
that. So there you have JD Vance talking about his German shepherd and his kid, his kid going back and calling the media fake news. You got to love it, kids. They will absorb anything you say. They are a humbling moment, but they were also a really good mirror, as I found out. My son has some funny things to say too at at three years old, sometimes he repeats things that we must say and you just go, oh, we. Got to be.
Careful. There was actually this wonderful moment for my daughter, my first daughter. This is back when we had a tiny little baby and she must have been two years old or something like that. She was standing around on the on the front of our porch step. We were living outside in Northern Virginia outside of DC, and she walked outside and she dropped something. I don't know what it was, but she was tiny. And she was this cute little blonde silly thing wearing like
a little North Face hoodie. And that somebody had given us 'cause we, I don't think we would ever spend money on North Face hoodies for kiddos. And she dropped it. And she looks down and she looks up at me and she just goes fucking damn it. And my wife and I both looked at each other like, Oh no. And she goes, that's my bad. And I was like, oh, 'cause I thought it was me, obviously. And I was like, oh good. Yeah, that was you. You need to watch your mouth around our baby.
Fucking damn it. Not swear words, but so close and lets you know exactly that she knows how to use those words. Anyway, when your kid goes back at four and tells the fake news that they're fake news, what's not to love about that? And the reason they're fake news is 'cause they keep reporting stuff like what Adam Schiff was doing over and over again. Do you guys remember the the compilation we played of the Russia, Russia, Russia thing?
They're trying to hold these guys accountable now because they realize if they want to be relevant, particularly over at CNN, if they want to be in the ball game, they're going to have to get back in touch with reality. You're going to have to ask some questions of Democrats like, hey, you guys blew it. And what have you been talking about here is Jake Tapper holding feet to the fire of Adam Schiff, who's going to be a senator, which is disgusting.
I, I said something over social media this weekend that like in my lifetime, beta males like Adam Schiff, we're not part of the conversation when grown men were talking like they were stuffed in lockers or given wedgies. I don't know why we let these weak, effeminate, frail men get out and, and have a say in our national politics. It is disordered and they're liars and they can't go back on it. They're so proud right now. We're going to come to the topic of shame in just a second.
So enjoy this little taste of Jake Tapper kind of pushing back on the Russia thing and this guy double s down. You can't make this up. We were censured in the House last year for, in their view, holding positions of power during the Trump presidency as as chairman of House Intelligence Committee and according to them, quote, abusing this trust by saying there was evidence of collusion between Trump's campaign and Russia. And I wonder if you are feeling at all introspective at all
about that. That was, according to your according to the Mueller report and according to your your Republican colleagues, an overstatement. And I wonder if you think in any way you you help set the table for these disruptors. You know, first of all, it wasn't an overstatement. There is evidence of collusion. The Trump campaign manager was meeting with Russian intelligence and giving them internal polling data, just to give you one example. And the Mueller report sets all
this out. It does say, quote, the investigation did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities, which doesn't mean that he didn't, you know, that there weren't meetings, but they didn't find out Who says that too? He says the fact that we didn't find proof beyond a reasonable doubt doesn't mean there wasn't evidence of conspiracy or
coordination. So. This is the single biggest point I would like to hone in on. Just because we didn't find proof beyond a reasonable doubt, which by the way is the standard for the American judicial system, if you're going to make allegations, you have to be able to back them up at that level. This is why they want all the ethics reports dropped out, because it has a bunch of slanderous allegations, unproven allegations against people like Matt Gaetz. This is what these guys want.
Notice how slimy he is when he says that. Well, what it says is this. And Jake Tapper hit him with the actual words of the actual report by the actual prosecutor that was actually trying to prove it and couldn't do it. Everybody thought, well, remember, there's Mueller, she wrote, there's this big social media account on there. There's all these people in Mueller. We trust he was going to be the one who brought it down. They couldn't substantiate them against Donald Trump.
They've never been able to substantiate it against any of these people. And their best that they have are like 30 year old allegations from people that don't have any contemporaneous reports of it. And then you have people like Tara Reid who had credible and contemporaneous reports of being sexually assaulted by Joe Biden. How about all of the victims of Bill Clinton? Remember him?
So when the left tells us and we hear people like Nancy Sinatra, they want to go out there and cry over and over again. They want to cry wolf about sexual misconduct. It's always because they don't have the goods, but it smears a good man or it smears someone who has questionable taste. Look, do I think that Matt Gaetz was a choirboy his whole life? No, I bet he was really combative. He looks kind of like he's got some frat boy instincts to him,
and I'm not mad about that. Matt Gaetz can be a human being. In fact, all of us are. We're all fallen people. This old idea that we're going to act like we're pure. Do you think that Adam Schiff doesn't have like a bunch of demons in his background? He just has a press that's willing to cover them up. It's the same thing with Nancy Pelosi and her husband and all these other. They all have weird things going on. You don't get into politics by being a normal person.
What sort of normal person wants to get into show business for ugly people? It's the same thing we're seeing in Hollywood. How many of these people have disgusting, bizarre skeletons? But if you're going to trot out some girl that went to high school or college with a guy 30 years ago and nobody else remembers what you're talking about, and you're going to just use that to smear them with tearful and coerced, like acting in front of a, you know, a national audience. How about this stuff?
How about you only use it when it benefits you and that means you've cheapened it for all victims. There is nothing worse than the sort of believe all women thing when women use it as a weapon and when people in politics use it as a weapon. And that's regular and frequent. What they're doing is they're holding an accountability for a thing that we used to have in this country, which was called shame. We used to actually know that shame was something that would be a constructive tool.
You would use it as a boundary. If you cross that line, then you would be shamed. And people who are ashamed could not continue to participate in polite society. But it's A1 sided tool because one side has no shame. They had topless transgender people running around at the White House lawn. They put a dude, a fat old dude, by the way, in charge of public health, and now they're crying about Robert F Kennedy Junior. That's truly insane to me.
It's because they have no shame and they think that you do. And what we're seeing, I think, is that over and over, we're not going to have shame over it. We don't feel bad about it because screw you, it's time to disrupt things. Here's Adam Schiff again. Same interview, not understanding what the Trump cabinet picks are about because they're out of touch. He's going to address the cost of housing and the cost of childcare and the cost of food
and gas. They didn't vote for this kind of retribution destruction tour that the president seems now engaged in. Yes, we did. We want a retribution tour. We want to destroy it. For those of you in the chat asking yes, Nancy Sinatra at the beginning of the show, that's a that's a tweet. The oldest daughter of Frank Sinatra crying about something very one sided. You cannot weaponize shame against us. We're done with it. We've already seen who you're going to go out.
They've run out their allegations. You know, look, we had Bill Clinton sit in office. We had Joe Biden sit in office. Credible allegations of sexual assault didn't seem to slow them down even a little bit. They defended him left and right. It's totally normal for a dad to shower with his daughter after the daughter writes about it being, I don't know when the last time that I've been in a, a state of undress around my, my
daughters at all. Like maybe when they were infants and we were holding on to them and they couldn't be left by themselves. I had to jump in the shower and like hose them off because we were both covered in poop or something. Infants, no memory infants. That's not something you do as a dad. You don't need to. We have the technology. We have bathtubs, we have showers, we have hand, hand nozzles. You can wash them off. I do it all the time. I, I bathe my children
regularly. I'm never in a state of undress around. There is no reason why would you do that. Maybe that was a thing. Maybe that was a thing in the 80s. But the only people I hear talking about it are complete weirdos. Remember, that was the smear. They're weird. They're weirdos. They're weaponizing shame in a way that's not going to work. It just doesn't fly. So that's why you have this story. Let's put it on the screen here. Trump's controversial cabinet picks.
This is coming from CBS. Senior staff picks face uncertain future in Washington because they're going to disrupt the status quo. That's what we want. CNN saying Trump double s down on provocative Cabinet picks as their fates hang in the balance. Do you know what's really provocative about Matt Gaetz? He's a disruptor of the status quo. Is he perfect? I'm sure he's not. I'm sure he's not. Why would he be? But he does stuff like this.
And you can imagine this getting under the skin of Republicans and Democrats alike. Remember the idea that George Carlin said that it was one big club and you ain't in it? What if somebody starts telling you what's going on in that club? It was the thing that we loved about Donald Trump when he was debating Hillary Clinton. I watched an old replay of that. And he said, of course, I take the tax cuts, just like all your donors do.
And she went like, it's a good thing a man with this temperament doesn't run the country. And he said, yeah, because you'd be in jail. That's how normal people speak. That's how plain people speak. They talk about a German Shepherd crapping in front of the press and that being inherently funny. And they say things like, maybe if you're on the Appropriations Committee, you shouldn't be making big stock trades that benefit your personal wealth. Congressman Gates offered to
take us on a tour. So one of the committees where people have a lot of information is the Appropriations Committee, because they can view almost any vector of government funding. And so, you know, this is Mr. Rutherford's office. He's on the Ethics Committee and the Appropriations Committee. 152 stock trades. Stocks go through the roof. And, you know, actually bought Raytheon stock the day that Russia invaded Ukraine. Yeah, that's a big one.
Yeah. I mean, imagine if every American could make money off of war. Yeah. Setting aside the whole shaman and ethics questions, how many more on our hit list here? There are a few more. I wish there were fewer on the hit list. I wish we could only stop at one or two offices. But as it turns out, so energy is a sector that sees a lot of congressional stock trading.
And we have members who are on the Energy Subcommittee of Appropriations, like Michael Guest, chairman of the Ethics Committee. And he's traded somewhere between 10s and hundreds of thousands of dollars in energy stocks. He's been buying online gaming stocks and just making a killing on him. So you would think that the people that were on the Ethics Committee would be your best allies in this fight.
But indeed, they're some of the most prolific traders, and not only trading, but in the case of Mr. Guest, trading in an area where he has access to Energy Information more so than almost any other American. Isn't that the story? The story is, is that people that are on the Ethics Committee who are threatening to release an ethics report that actually didn't hold any findings. They didn't censor him. They didn't have any reason to vote to get rid of him.
He stepped out on his own. The DOJ went after him. If you think they could have been able to get him, they would have. This is Biden's DOJ. They have no problem being weaponized. You got stories like this one coming out. This one's coming from what Cbsi think. Let me just double check here. So I'm I'm make sure I quote the right thing. This one is, I think it's CBS, maybe it's ABC even close. There's so many different tabs open right now talking about whether or not these people are
are compromised. Defense pick Pete Head says paid accusers but denies sexual assault. The attorney says. So we're going to we're going to trot this out. There was some hidden stories that maybe he had gone to like some sort of a, a sexual rehab at some point. And I'm sure we'll see some hit pieces talking about this. The fact of the matter is, is they're trying to weaponize shame because they're completely out of touch. Human beings make mistakes all the time. And what do you think our
warfighters are? Like? What do you think a major in an infantry unit is? Do you think he's a low testosterone man that operates like Adam Schiff and no woman's looking twice at him? Or is he a dude that knows how to do violence and women are attracted to it because he's masculine and maybe there are some women that weren't, and maybe there's some women who are going to come out of the woodwork to say things that that could be true. But we haven't seen any
adjudication. Why are they coming out today? He's been a Fox News host on the weekends. He's had a public face. I'm sure he has a pretty decent net worth. It's not like this guy was a hidden figure. He's a public figure, but now we're going to get Ndas signed off on and suddenly the people are speaking outside of their Ndas or the attorneys are our go out, you know, go in and leak information to the press. It's a weaponized move and it's why we don't care.
There's no other way. We're actually seeing something that we are pushing back against. I'm going to give you a quick example because I saw this. This is coming from England. This isn't a British drive around LED billboard truck and it is one of the most shocking things. I think this is what Americans are trying to resist because we see it over the pond and you go holy crap being offensive is an offense.
And there are British police officer standing in front of his truck letting people know that if you offend people of the LGBTQIA plus persuasion, if you offend people who are from another religion that is non indigenous to the UK, if you're a Muslim person and you feel offended, you can report that offense. We are actually seeing the British enforce the rules of Facebook in real life. Facebook in real life is what the UK looks like.
It makes it dangerous to travel, and they should be ashamed. But instead, they're proudly standing in front of those billboards. Pretty wild. Trump's making some great picks. Oh, here we go. Let me just throw this up there, too, because I saw another thing. Speaking of irony and sexual allegations, Bill Clinton said that we should move forward urging citizens to, quote, stand up for what we think is right. Maybe what Bill Clinton thinks is right is not all that
credible. He's in the middle of pushing a book talking about being a private citizen and how he's been able to to move the needle forward even after getting out of the White House. OK, dude, you were one of the, like, wildest moments in my childhood showing that the president of the United States of America, it was kind of our JFK moment where people realize that JFK was having affairs all over the place. Another Democrat, by the way, Democrats normalize this kind of thing.
Now, are presidential affairs relatively common? I guess they must have been. They must have happened over time. Again, powerful men, young women, you got options. Does that mean that we throw the baby out with the bathwater? A lot of people think Bill Clinton did a great job. Even people that are on the relatively conservative side don't hate Bill Clinton. They don't cite the fall of the Republic as Bill Clinton's time in office. They generally look to Barack
Obama over that. I just find it interesting. And then you've got guys out there who actually know what they're talking about, South Pete had said. I wanted to contrast him because people were like, how is this guy qualified? That's what you're hearing over and over again, Oh, are these people qualified? I have the, the, I've got this, this little piece over here from Wikipedia talking about Ash Carter, who I just always remember as being kind of a nerdy dude.
And I kind of think, OK, well, was Ash Carter eminently qualified? Did he have any time in the military? Did he know anything about the military? No, no, no. He was an academic and a government official. He began his career as a physicist, and then he became an analyst for the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment.
Then he became interested in public policy, and he got a degree in that in 1984. And he served as the assistant Secretary of Defense for International Security policy under Clinton, 93 to 96. He's a bureaucrat that's never been around the military. How do you take that guy and say this is the person who should be in charge of the entire Department of Defense? He's never worked in it. He doesn't know what the troops are like. So spare me. There's another one that's in
that world right now. I'm sure at some point we'll have some sort of scandal leak out about him, although he seems a lot cleaner. This one's definitely coming from CBS. Trump selects Liberty Energy CEO Chris Wright as the secretary of energy. I got a little insight into this. One of my very good friends is married to his niece. And said this guy is a genius and he's been telling me he's a genius for a long time. He went to MIT.
He's incredibly bright. But I wanted to contrast him with the previous secretary of energy, the current United States Secretary of Energy, which is a woman named Jennifer Granholm. Jennifer Granholm is from Canada. She was born in Canada to Canadian parents. She's not from the United States. She lives in Detroit, MI. How interesting and what is her background? She's a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of California, Berkeley, and she has AJD from Harvard Law School.
She clerked for U.S. court of Appeals, 6th Circuit judges, and became an assistant United States Attorney in the Eastern District of Michigan. She was a prosecutor. Why in the hell is that woman in charge of DOE instead of a guy like this who actually understands something about energy? You know, because he actually works in the energy sector, which makes a ton more sense to me. Here's Chris Wright, in his own words, talking about why energy matters.
So energy matters. It matters for human lives, it matters for human well-being, it matters for low income people and social mobility, low income people to come up. When you hear crazy stuff today, check it out. Dig a little deeper. Hurricanes are not growing. That's in the IPCC report. Tornadoes are actually on the decline. Floods, droughts, all of these things you hear ceaselessly. They just simply aren't so. It isn't even controversial that they're not so.
But media, politicians just continually abuse these facts. And I'll end with one last fact because anxiety is growing among kids. I'm sure everyone has seen that 20% of kids go to bed at night worried about climate change. Your chance of dying from extreme weather today is greater than 95 has been reduced by more than 97% over the last century.
There's just an absolute plummeting from 500,000 people a year dying from extreme weather to less than 10,000 the last couple years while the world population is quadrupled. So facts matter. Human liberty matters. Bottom up social organization has always been the way to a better world. Let's resist this force of top down control that's not benefiting humans except those in government. Oh, that's a pretty simple
message, isn't it? Somebody who actually understands that facts matter, that they live in the real world, that they know that global energy powered by fossil fuels is the only way forward for now. It is the single biggest thing that moves people out of poverty and it allows third world existence to raise themselves to 1st world standards. It's really easy stuff. Or you could tell people they got to pay California level
energy bills. When my buddy Alfredo Luna was telling me he runs the Alpha Ware podcast, he was telling me that his energy bills like $1000 a month in California to run to run air conditioning. I don't even know how you do that. That's like half the rent that he was paying. That's that's a 50%, like 50% of his rent budget ends up going turn around and they have to turn around and play it into, into energy. It's crazy, $1000 a month. It's expensive here in Texas.
It's like 250 bucks a month. And we have a pretty good sized house. And I'm running computers all the time because I'm doing this podcast. Yeah, you'd think like, oh, he lives in the desert. He lives out in Palm Desert. So it's freaking hot out there. Energy and energy costs are what real people, that real human beings actually experience. And you'll notice they didn't go and beat the drums about climate change. My wife and I were talking about this before I went live this
morning. She was very interested that they weren't talking about climate change with the Hurricanes they hit just before the election. Why was that? Is it because they wanted the people in North Carolina, the indigent folks that were out there in the mountains and those people who were affected that were generally Trump voters, to just die off and not be part of the political moment? Because the minute they brought in climate change, we would have brought in government failure.
And the numbers don't back it up. You can have once in a lifetime things. The entire island of Galveston was almost wiped out in 1908. I'm trying to remember the date on I think it's right around there, 19/08/19 thirteen, something like that. Right at the turn of the century into the 20th century, Texas had massive hurricanes hit the coast and they were still far more damaging with far less people living there. So numbers matter. We're talking about energy.
Let's talk about something that gives me energy. Is this a good Segway? It's pretty funny. My buddies over at Patriot Coolers, they are the ones that are powering up this 19 oz coffee mug, keeping it hot as we do the show. If you guys want to get your own Tumblr, if you want to get your own coffee mug, something that will fit and sit in your your car cup holder and continue to keep your beverage hot or cold all day long.
How do it know It know because it has a double walled insulated technology at patriotcoolers.com. Use the promo code Kyle. When you go over there, we'll save you 10%. Kyle. It's the same 10% you get for being a veteran. By the way, it's not a special 10%. It's just our 10% and lets them know that we sent you over there. It's Patriot coolers.com. They're the single longest running sponsor for the Kyle Seraphin show. We're really grateful for them.
They've never blinked, they've never looked back. They've never said, hey man, you're kind of offensive. You say things we don't like. They just said we're patriots, so are you. We want to get behind you. There are 13 bars on every one of their items that I can find. There are 50 stars on the bottom. Don't turn them over unless you want to see what it is. You know what? Screw it. I'll show you. Look at this there. There's coffee in this right now.
There's fifty stars sitting here all etched into the bottom. And it tells you right there that it's designed in Texas, Houston, TX, an American company. They make stuff in China like everybody else does, because if you want to make a vacuum thing because of government, government regulations, it's got to be done in Chinese. But they're shipped from the USA, which is not nothing, by the way. All of your companies that make these things, they're all made overseas, unfortunately.
Here's a little thing Speaking of things made overseas. Chris Wright did a kind of a comedy video, which you got to love. This is the sense of humor of a guy who says facts matter and North Face is a hypocritical organization. If you don't like oil and gas, then maybe you can't have nice things. How many liberals actually understand this? How many leftists understand this 123?
Thanks, North Face. And I think that's the good point that having an energy secretary that works in the energy sector, he's the CEO of both Liberty Energy, which is oil and gas. And there's another one in Oklahoma that does nuclear energy, the mandates that you see them actually pushing out under the D, the Department of Energy, the DOE, it's craziness. And there's some real important things that DOE does, like handle nuclear power plants and handle America's nuclear arsenal, OK.
They investigate nuclear threats, weapons of mass destruction and so on. They actually have a bunch of former FBI guys that are decent patriots that were from the old FBI that worked there. I used to go and work across the street at the DOE. They have a great counterintelligence program. They can't do anything about it because they've got an administration right now that won't prosecute that stuff. But in theory, the DOE is actually very important and it's not something people talk about
all the time, right? You just don't hear it. What you do hear about is some of these like other sort of wild claims. This was one, for some reason, my CNN hyperlink that just lives on my computer. When I type in CNN and I hit enter without anything else, this is what pops up every single time. I don't know if we ever covered this before, but this is the thing that I see. I probably see this 10 times a
week. Environmental group calls for investigation into dead whale incident involving RFK junior. This smear stuff goes back to this is August of 2024 before he signed on with Trump. Like anybody that doesn't step in line on the left is going to get hit. They're going to try to shame because they're completely out of touch. OK. And this story is is weird. And Robert F Kennedy Junior is a rich guy who's been kind of unusual for a long time.
There was a story about him taking a dead bear and dumping it in Central Park. And like, come on now, Do you want this guy to raise your kids? No. But does he seem to be really genuinely interested and have facts on his side talking about things like vaccine safety? Yeah, he does. Does he have things on his side? When he talked about the number of ingredients with the New York Times tried to debunk, I'll do
that another day. But they were trying to debunk his story about how Fruit Loops in other countries are much less dangerous than the ones in the United States. And there's multiple examples of it. I've got a clip, so we'll we'll hold it for tomorrow. These sort of like side by side McDonald's French fries, the ingredients they're using for French fries in the US versus the same exact product in another country.
And the products they use over there are non-toxic and they're not formaldehyde based and so on. So we've accepted a pretty disgusting and weird thing, which is that we're cool with people poisoning us. It's another one of my reasons, by the way, I know you guys don't like it all the time, but the Julie Kelly thing that I think is so weird. And Julie Kelly is a writer that now has started talking about January 6th.
Her previous experience was talking about GM OS and Monsanto and Roundup and how these products are all great for us. And it's like, no, Americans are not healthy today. I've seen kids today. I saw a kid today who would have been one of the fattest kids that I'd ever seen in my life if I'd seen him 35 years ago. He was morbidly obese and he was probably 10. And that is not just because he's lazy and doesn't run around because he's a kid.
Like all kids move around. The food products are clearly different than when I was younger, and I'm seeing it even in people that are just 10 or 15 years younger than me. They've lived through a different food environment. In any case, they are out of touch. We keep talking about this. This is great examples of it. Let me give you 1 brilliant example of someone realizing they're out of touch, especially because MSNBC is apparently bankrupt and not getting any viewership.
Their viewership like like the Kyle Seraphin show is rivaling mainstream Tuesday productions of MSNBC that cost millions of dollars to put together, which by the way, that's not what this cost. Check this out. This is Mika and Joe. Mika Brzezinski, Joe Scarborough acknowledging sort of tacitly they're they're almost there, that they're out of it and it's time to reach out there. Remember how many times Joe Biden wanted to go and talk to people at Fox 0? Donald Trump invited these
people tomorrow to talk. And that tells you something else about being a disruptor. Over the past week, Joe and I have heard from so many people, from political leaders to regular citizens, deeply dismayed by several of president-elect Trump's cabinet selections. And they are scared. Last Thursday, we expressed our own concerns on this broadcast and even said we would appreciate the opportunity to speak with the president-elect himself. On Friday, we were given the
opportunity to do just that. Joe and I went to Mar a Lago to meet personally with president-elect Trump. It was the first time we have seen him in seven years. Now, we talked about a lot of issues, including abortion, mass deportation, threats of political retribution against political opponents and media outlets.
We talked about that a good bit. And it's going to come as no surprise to anybody who watches this show, has watched it over the past year or over the past decade, that we didn't see eye to eye on a lot of issues. And we told him so. What we did agree on was to restart communications. My father often spoke with world leaders with whom he and the United States profoundly disagreed. That's a task shared by reporters and commentators
alike. We have not spoken to President Trump since March of 2020, other than a personal call Joe made to Trump on the morning after the attempt on his life in Butler, PA. In this meeting, President Trump was tearful. He was upbeat. He seemed interested in finding common ground with Democrats on some of the most divisive issues. And for those asking why we would go speak to the president-elect during such fraught times, especially between us, I guess I would ask back, why wouldn't we?
Yeah, no, there's a, there's a better answer for that then why wouldn't we? It's we are desperate for ratings and we are completely irrelevant because we have no touch with reality. We have had to go out there and talk to literally Hitler, as they have said, the worst person that's ever lived because they are completely out of touch and they realize their audience is not.
So there you have it. Little bit of a moment of self reflection for all of us. I think it's worth noting if you're tracking what the suspendables are all about, you'll recognize that this clip hits home. Most people do not realize where they would find themselves in actual history. Before I enlisted in the military, one of the things that's really important to me is what was my role in society as a man with a particular gifts or
the the skill sets that I had. And I determined that my job was protector and I went and I sought out careers to do those things. And they're you can see them behind me on the wall. Am I the greatest at it? No, I just thought that that's what my role was. If I was in a tribe 10,000 years ago, I would have found myself in those roles. Most people do not put themselves into a historical context with honesty and
accuracy. I know based on what was asked of me at the FBI, where I fall in this story. But for those of us that don't, and particularly those on the left, this is a meaningful thing. Jordan Peterson said it. This is a famous clip but I want you guys to share it with folks so they can evaluate where they were in 2021 and did they side with liberty or did they side with tyranny because they were so desperate to have authority
over those around them? It is a lack of sensibilities and and being able to to really grasp what your position, your role and who you would be realistically. I love this clip because it makes people think maybe Mika and Joe should be listening to this kind of stuff too. When? People read the history of Nazi Germany. They always think they're Schindler. They always think that they're the person who would have saved Anne Frank in the Netherlands. I never read history as a perpetrator.
I wouldn't have done that. It's like, did you watch people during the pandemic? In Canada? 30% of my neighbors were thrilled that they had the opportunity to inform on their on the people around them. Thrilled they would have worn those goddamn masks for the rest of their life if the payoff would have been they could feel moral, morally superior, and informed.
And we all know that. And in the meantime, as the the left is sort of like melting down over who's going to be the the potential AG, who's shown no instance of breaking laws that I'm aware of and has done things that are objectively interesting and would be something in the in the eyes of liberty. You've got them sort of like putting this on the third page.
Joe Biden authorized Ukraine to strike Russia with United States supplies long rain missiles, which could kick off obviously in intensification of the conflict. And the, the joke was in the suspendables chat this weekend that we're going to be helping out the, the FBI kind of straighten itself out while World War 3 is going on. So maybe everything will be cancelled.
There is still an administration in a lame duck administration times 2. Not only did the the president not make it through the campaign, but neither did the vice president. And they're authorizing Russia to go out there and step it up. They're ramping up all of their appointments and trying to get all of their people in as soon as possible. They're looking to provoke something that is basically untenable. When I said we're in the eye of the storm, I don't think we're
out of it yet, folks. This little like bluster about them being sad about these kind of things and running running articles about how an Ethics Committee said that some woman watched Matt Gaetz have sex with some 17 year old girl who by the way, is apparently doing only fans right now. Like if that's the story that they want to cover, what are they covering up? And it looks like they're covering up the fact that they are shoving every single person
in that can resist. You're hearing governor say that they are going to push back against the order. I was told that that's what insurrection look like. That's what sedition look like. We're hearing about shadow cabinets. As we talked about on Friday, All of this stuff is not going to have to fall by the wayside. We need to be aware of it. And so we'll talk about it more as we go through. There's no question that there are other stories than just the scandalous people.
And as we continue on, make sure you guys have tagged your senators. Make sure you are tagged your representatives. Let them know we're still waiting for cash only. No credit, no credit cards in this business. We need cash only for the FBI director. I'm still waiting to see that I got a pallet cleanser for you that has nothing to do with
anything else. As you start your work week, those of you that are working hard, you guys know what's going on. Let's just take a deep breath and realize that sometimes we can all just laugh just a little bit about getting old, which we all are. My wife's more blame. Doing chores is my wife's foreplay. Might be the worst line in there, but that's what happens when you don't have anything else to do when you're managing
a household. I think a lot of you probably resonate with that silly little little ditty there. Also the idea that the last decade was 2003. I always think things are recent and they're like from the early 2000s Why? I also think that that postage stamps cost $0.27, which my wife constantly reminds me it's not true. That's the last time I remember buying a postage stamp. I'm really glad I'm married and
I don't have to do that stuff. Folks, thanks so much for joining us for the Kyle Seraphin show.
