Take a look behind the curtain with a 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 Seraphin. Well, hello my friends, and welcome to the Kyle Seraphin show. Thanks for joining us today on this Wednesday, April the 30th.
And I'm looking forward to talking about a few things that are going on right now, particularly this this loss of principles. First of all, there's some loss of principles in our audience. I want to address this right now. There's some liars out there that are listening right now. Maybe you are a liar. I saw a bunch of people making comments yesterday about Pablo Picasso. Can we just, can we just stop?
I had people tell me I I was a science major and I knew when Pablo Picasso died, I knew that he was alive in the 60s. Let's be real. You were an art minor. You might have been a math major or a science major of some kind, but you had an art minor, did you not? You had multiple classes at art appreciation and intro to drawing, right? Can we just be clear? There's only about a half dozen of you that I saw that did this.
But enough of you commented on it like you were real proud of the fact that you knew when Pablo Picasso died. I don't believe you and you don't believe you and neither does the rest of the people out there in the audience in our chat. It's just saying, let's let's be clear about a couple things before we get started. It seems reasonable. All right, chat folks are already out there trying to figure out whether or not they're going to be able to send me live animals.
If you guys want to send something to the show. And I got a pair of overalls yesterday from from one of you who will remain nameless. Just saying. You guys can send stuff to the show by going to our PO Box, sending it out there. It's 9073 W state highway 29. It's Suite 110, box 5 O 9 in Liberty Hill, TX 78642. If you're listening on Spotify, you guys can find it very easily. You can go ahead and see it on the video on rumble.com/kyle Seraphin.
Easy place to find it. I don't know why people want to send us stuff, but I don't. I don't hate it. I got a book yesterday that I'll be thumbing through. We'll talk about it over on the call in show. For those of you that are watching over on YouTube, if you're new to this youtube.com slash at Kyle Serafin, you guys can see it in 4K. You can see the box number and our locals channel.

Make sure you've liked the video at some point in time. Make sure you've left us a comment. We appreciate that. If you want to leave a five star view over an apple, I don't mind that either. Really appreciate all of you being out there. OK, today we're going to be talking about the first 100 days because we're now we're on day
101, the historic moment. The fact of the matter is Donald Trump sat down with someone from ABC and it went about the way that you might expect. We've got a problem with principles in this country. It's on the left, but it's also on the right. And this morning I was motivated by seeing a video, Jacob Wells, who's one of the founders, he's the Co founder of Give Send Go, which is a program that I have a little bit of knowledge of. I've spent several hours
speaking with him. We've given opportunities for him to defend his position, which I think was highly reasonable. And during that, most people I think are convinced by the idea that good faith actors are in fact acting in good faith. Some of you will not be convinced. So I'm going to challenge some of you today about your principles. We're going to talk about raising money for the Carmelo Anthony situation outside of Dallas.
I haven't really discussed it that much, mostly because I don't want to give any fuel to that fire. But we are going to talk about the principles of it because there's something that's happening in the Texas House right now. Both of these are Texas things, talking about free speech, talking about basic fundamental conservative principles, talking about things that that should be really obvious to just Americans.
We should be able to agree on certain principles that we have a, a rule of law which the left is suddenly discovered. Let's see where you guys sit on that. So that's what we're going to get into today. And I and I, like I said, it is going to challenge a few of you almost guaranteed. Before we get started with that, let's talk about something else that could challenge you. How about my friends over at Blackout Coffee? We have been telling you about Blackout Coffee for a couple of
months now. Actually, I've got some right here on the desk with me. This is my OGFBI like modified thermos that I used to take when I was on surveillance. It's one of the few things I do miss about doing the the Bureau thing, waking up early and going and watching bad guys. We've been telling you about a coffee company that gets you started. If you haven't tried it, if you haven't gone out and looked at blackoutcoffee.com/kyle, let me give you a little a little take here.
It's a company built on hard work and grit and American values. They've got a 64,000 square foot warehouse that grew out of a home garage. They've been roasting every bean in house, packing them all the orders themselves, employing over 30 hardworking Americans without corporate nonsense. It's just damn good coffee made by people who give a damn. There's another cup right here that I'm actually currently drinking. All right, Blackout coffee isn't just about making a great cup of
coffee. What you're seeing on the screen, that's how we do it everyday. That is exactly the same picture that I used, by the way, the French press like that. This is a company that supports the American dream. You're supporting their American dream and your American dream. Building a company the right way with no shortcuts, no woke nonsense, no weak beans, probably the way that you want to do your thing. Working hard with real values and coffee.
That's going to get you moving. It's time to make the switch. Go to blackoutcoffee.com slash Kyle. We've got over 10 lbs in this house right now. Promo code Kyle will save you 20% on your first order. It's keeping the American dream alive. Get some real coffee. Support a real coffee company. Drink blackout coffee. Again, blackoutcoffee.com slash Kyle. Don't drink wheat coffee. Start your day out the right way and get started. Let's get this show started as well. And there it is. Some.
I'm actually drinking the blackout coffee right there as we start. OK, so the first thing we're going to talk about is something that I alluded to yesterday. It's a failure to message properly. This is what I see most broadly. People choose their heroes in the information battle, in the information war. Some people are going to choose Rachel Maddow. They're going to choose Tucker Carlson. They're going to choose Dan Bongino.
They're going to choose the unsubscribe podcast, which you guys keep bringing up in the chat. They're going to pick their winner and their loser. They're going to say this is the person that best represents what I think. ABCNBC, take your pick, Joy Reid, maybe I don't know. And that person is going to be their voice out in the world. It's going to be the thing that they that they assign truth to and everybody else is full of it. The scary thing is, is there's a
lot of money behind this thing. I'm looking at NBC News. I saw this yesterday and, and what I was blown away with is not just that we're seeing people on the political left. That's going to be the NB CS, your AB CS, right. It's people that have not just a a large microphone or a large print audience, but also they have this really wild perspective that is going to ignore simple facts and you don't see any critical thought going into it.
That's what I try to do here. This is why we make enemies on both sides of the aisle. I'm going to upset some of you talking about Carmelo Anthony and the fact that I think give send go has every right that they are in the correct position allowing allowing money to be raised for someone that is accused of murder. I'm going to tell you why in a second. This story you're seeing on
here. Attorneys dispute the Trump officials claim that deported mom willingly took their U.S. citizen children with them when they were deported. Now, the headline itself tells us a lot. It's not the mom that's speaking out, right? She probably doesn't even speak English. It's the attorneys for the mom. And who are those attorneys?
They are attorneys in the United States that seem to raise money and make money and do their business trying to protect people that don't belong in this country, that had righteous deportation orders. And now they're fighting to what, keep the kids here? These attorneys in particular on this particular story come from the National Immigration Project. All of that is really wild. Again, it's a manipulation of language.
This is not people who legally came to the United States and are trying to stay here through legal means. This is not like they came in, they applied for a visa, they applied for a green card. They were approved for the visa. They were waiting on the green card, and the United States just got mean and threw them out. No, this is the National illegal Immigration Project and the executive director has an unrecognizable name to me. Shirine Shabaya Shyeba Shibaya.
Like I swear to God, I can't even pronounce the name of the person who's running this. I saw a piece on in Canada the other day too and they were talking about how the Canadian it was, it was like a Canadian leadership forum and it was, I think this was on actually on on Austin Fleckis's podcast, which
is one of my wife's favorites. If you guys have never seen Flekas talks, Flekas talks, the original Flekas talks, walking around and talking to wild leftists with a microphone taped to the end of a spoon are some of my favorite memories of sitting on a couch and watching early YouTube when they still let conservative voices prosper over there. They're starting to let it happen again.
But we would watch. He would go out and ask people questions and they would just run into these words salad. It's the same. It's the same problem in Canada. They have the same issue that the United States does. You've got people that are dishonest actors, in this case the Canadian leader forum. I'm, I might be misnaming it a little bit, but it's essentially something to that effect.
It was 3 Indian people who were arguing in favor of Indian people being in Canada, with or without assimilation. By the way, none of them indicate that they should be assimilating to what the Canadian culture is the dominant culture. Same thing in America. We have that problem. And there was one Jewish guy, his last name was Katz. And those are the people that are apparently representing the Canadian Leadership Forum. It's the same innocuous naming thing.
The National Immigration Project, if you were going to go ask conservative people if you're going to ask people at random in America, do you think that immigration is necessary for the American experience to continue on? Do you think it's it's reasonable to allow people into this country? People go, yeah, yeah, of course it is. We want to have people in this country. We want people to be able to
come here. There's a there's a culture of immigration that whole we are all immigrants thing, but there's a difference. It's not the same immigration that used to happen at Ellis Island where maybe your ancestors came in. When those people came in, they got stacked into tenement buildings in New York City and they died. They died working themselves to the bone trying to build this nation. Now, maybe there was legal, maybe there wasn't the same like
legal immigration. The difference then and now is the social safety net that we throw out today in the same way that we played about Canada yesterday. Illegal aliens, people coming into the Canadian culture are costing them, let's say $3500 a month. That's probably a low estimate, to be fair, more than they pay their senior citizens. That probably is an accurate estimate. We've played a little clip about that. We're doing the same thing here.
We've created a social safety net, which we call entitlements, and then we let people come in and they are not getting an apples to apples comparison. It's a fundamentally dishonest argument. I find it shocking that it's attorneys who make money on this. I found this in the whistleblower space too, folks. Do you know that the whistleblowers, that the whistleblower attorneys that are over at Empower Oversight who have never represented me, Full disclosure, they've never helped
me out at all. Those people, the attorneys that run there, Jason Foster, Tristan Levitt, whatever, they make close to $200,000 a year. The people that they are representing, the Garrido Boyles, the Marcus Allen's were making $0.00. So there's good business in representing a good cause. It turns out. I'm not saying they're bad actors.
I'm just saying that they were making $200,000 a year as attorneys and their business was obviously benefiting from the fact that guys like me, we're going out there and speaking loudly. That Gerardo Boyle was going out on television. That Steve Friend is running his own podcast. That we are keeping attention on this 'cause there are a lot of people that are out in the streets that are trying to advocate on behalf of illegal aliens and good, you know, good on them.
You're allowed to have that opinion. Even if we disagree in America, we should have free speech and debate. But there's always people that are making money behind it. And in this case, it looks very interesting to me that there's an entire organization, a national immigration project that has executive directorships and CE OS, and a bunch of attorneys that are filing lawsuits on behalf of a mother who has a 2 year old American citizen that can't survive on his own or her own.
And they're out there tying up our courts with litigation because their donors are going to give cash. Isn't that interesting? It led me to this sort of like dishonest representation of the 100 days. Yesterday, I kind of briefly touched on it. I wanted to see kind of how it developed. Here's the crazy part, the 100 days for the first Trump administration. It doesn't mean what it used to.
I was having a conversation with my dad because I I drove down hour and and back to go pick up something, a used piece for my truck 'cause that's the kind of guy that I am. I'd rather save some money on a used piece of steel and bolt it on my truck then go buy a brand new one that's shinier 'cause I
just don't care. We had a time in America where having the 1st 100 days was the American people and the representatives in Congress. They got together, they coalesced and they said the American people have spoken in this and the person that they want to represent that this is the president of the United States, which used to mean something a lot more than it does. And because the American people spoke, we are going to pass the
agenda of this president. We are going to give them the benefit of the doubt and we're going to let them do what it is their their vision for America. They're going to propose bills and we're going to move forward and basically pass it with some debate in the 1st 100 days so that the American people can see
what it is that they elected. Because we had this good faith agreement that even though we might not all agree on things, we might not agree on who should be president, we agree on who is president. And because that person was elected, even if it's just by the slimmest of majorities, that person gets 100 days to move forward. That is not the the place we're in right now. That 100 days, I guess Fox News had a countdown or maybe a Newsmax had a countdown the other day, 100, you know, down
to the second. Oh, because they need an artificial marker in time. The 1st 100 days, the Trump administration means nothing. It's an arbitrary amount of passage of time. It doesn't mean anything. It's completely irrelevant at this point because he was getting 51 to 49 passage of members of the cabinet.
We're going to talk about two different cabinet members today who are mostly not being heard from the Department of the Interior, the Department of Energy, who are quietly going about doing the work that the Trump administration wants them to do. They're not getting the headlines like Pam Bondi. They're not sitting and doing
Hannity hits in the same way. Little, little bit of coverage worthwhile, but it's troubling to me that we still have this vestige that America is the same country that it was 50 years ago or 30 years ago when the 1st 100 days meant something. Here's a This is a story from CBS, how Trump's policies and Project 2025 proposals match up after the first 100 days.
In other words, they're going to hold him accountable to try to see did he do the things that he said he was going to do, By the way, with a completely obstructionist second party? It's not like they were like, yeah, we're going to give you the benefit of doubt. Do what you want and then let Americans decide in the midterms whether or not they want more of this. That was that was the argument,
By the way. The argument was the president does his first hundred day agenda and then the other, the opposition party, if they don't like it, which they probably don't, but maybe they want to work within the margins, they get to see whether or not the American people are excited about it. Here's the things that CBS thought was worthwhile. Abolishing the Department of Education, very polarizing issue in America. Strong arguments for taking it back down to the state and local
level. Trump cited executive orders and they've done some process to get rid of some of these people. I think it's a good thing. Obviously the the other side does not ending diversity, equity and inclusion. You know, like these racist practices where you give people an advantage simply because of the way they look. That also seems like an old school thing that people would have agreed with. Before the civil rights legislation. It wouldn't have even been a
question. But somehow now we have this world that has been propped up on this, this very sketchy scaffolding where we can do discrimination as long as it's on behalf of the right people. We talked about that yesterday. You're welcome to listen to more of that. I had a personal experience, which is very weird.
It's very weird to find out. Also, kind of a funny little moment and an aside, My, my 2016 FBI Academy date, when I showed up there, they gave this, this survey that was ridiculous on its face because they'd already grabbed all my medical records. I'd had to sign off on a approval.
So they pulled the mental health visit that I had when I was exiting the Air Force. They went and got every single medical record they could find at any hospital that I knew that I had them, including all my military records. And then they sent a questionnaire out from the human resource department asking us to identify based on gender. And I identified as female at that time, which I've agreed. You know, that's just what I did. That's what I felt like. I can't put myself back in that
moment. That didn't go anywhere, by the way, because there was plenty of paperwork saying that I was a male. So they just considered me a male in 2016, in 2017, in 2018, and in 2019. But in 2020, at the end of the Trump administration, when they changed some of the rules that were going on inside the administration in honor of the the Biden presidency coming in before he was elected. By the way, interestingly enough, the FBI suddenly started raiding me as a female.
So my last two fitness scores were scored against women. And my boss actually called me into the office and said, hey, man, there's something wrong. It looks like you're being rated as a female. And I said, no, no, that's how I identify. I've been identified that way since I started. Just nobody ever cared.
Nobody ever gave a damn. Interestingly enough, that would make me think as the first trans identified transgender identified person to be removed from the FBI, you'd think that I probably have an interesting civil rights case there, right? I'm not, I'm not like I've said this on Twitter before. I've but I don't think I've ever said on the podcast I have paperwork my my final disciplinary paperwork from the FBI says sex female. I never said my sex was female.
I just said my gender was and I actually said it was fluid when my boss asked me. I was like, yeah, I just feel like a female when I'm at work, but I feel like a regular dad when I get home. Now that's pretty funny to some of you looking at a guy sitting here with a beard. But my last two FBI, what they call agent fitness tests AF TS were scored against women and I was a top ranked female fitness stud for whatever it's worth, as a 38 and 39 year old female
agent while at work. Anyway, the gender, the gender diversity, equity inclusion programs should be eliminated. I think there should be a single standard and it should be related to your job. And so does Donald Trump. So apparently CBS thought that was problematic there. There was an interesting argument about FEMA that was brought up in this article here, talking about whether or not FEMA should even exist in the way that it does.
I think the argument that most conservatives should make and should be able to hold on to is that what happened in in Western North Carolina, what they showed, they being the people inside the federal government who lean aggressively to the left, is that if you are a likely Trump voter, then you're not worthy of federal dollars doing the mission of that agency, which should be totally nonpartisan and totally blind to wherever the need is. So Trump said that it should,
should essentially go back towards the states. That's what the states are for. Don't pull money out of the states. The states will be able to handle their own emergencies. I actually think that's a really, really good argument. And they've been doing an overhaul on there, which made people question whether or not the agency will be able to deliver disaster relief.
We've already seen that they won't do it if the person in the White House, if the people that are running the the administrative end of these federal agencies decides that they don't want to take care of the folks that are out there that need it. So yet another thing, just like the Department of Education, the people that are closest to you should be the ones who actually take care of you.
That seems reasonable. CBS is upset about President Trump targeting PBS and National Public Radio, which for some reason, even though they can totally stand on their own through leftist donations and advertising. How many of you guys have ever listened to NPR? I imagine some of you have. It's probably been a while. But how many times do they do? At the end of every damn segment, it's like, you know, this thing has been brought to you by the following, you know, charitable foundations.
And it's all the Bill and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the so and so, so and so and the open society found it and all the different monies that want to support it. There's tons of people that want to put money behind NPR and PBS. Why is the American taxpayer paying for any of it? Why do we have any? It should be spun off. And Trump seemed to say, yeah, OK, you can stand on your own 2
feet. We just want to cut the federal funding for it, freezing federal assistance, which is also weaponized in many ways. The problem is, is that we actually, in all fairness, spent apparently $220 billion more by this point, at this point in Trump's term, as it happened last year. So they're not actually cutting money out of the federal government, lest you hear anything else. And again, that's if you choose your champion, you're hearing, well, Doge is going to cut $2
trillion. Oh, they're going to cut $200 billion. It's actually only going to be $60 billion. Just kidding. The numbers are that we actually spent more money than we did previously. Trump has never been a conservative guy, right? He's like a, he's like a 90s Democrat and they believe in spending. OK, fine. That's what people voted for. Give it to him. I don't have to agree with it and I won't. I don't like government
spending. I don't think government is a good place for it. But it's worth knowing that the people that are out there trying to cover down on this stuff, they're not acting in honest space. This is what ABC this is the viral clip running around about Terry Moran. He's talking to Donald Trump. Donald's like, I don't even know who you are. That's what you're seeing on the screen here.
So we're going to play a little clip from that interview and they want to focus in on the MS13 thing and they want to go and disagree with the guy. They're poking him. Look, they know they're going to get, they drop the coin in, we're going to tell you that the MS13 picture that you had and the tattoos are fake. And then I'm going to just act like I don't know any better. I'm not an expert on this, but I
do have an opinion. This reminded me right away of my father's statement to me about the news business, which is the dangerous thing that happens when you pick your heroes. Don't confuse me with the facts. I've already got an opinion that is today's news media and they and they masquerade as journalists over and over again. Here's a little example of that. And just, and we're going to basically the beginning of it is kind of irrelevant.
It's the end of it where we realize he's like, no, no, no, no, I've said my piece, I want to move on. It's almost like when you make an accusation in court and it's and then there's an objection and the judge sustains it. The jury still heard it. It may not be in the transcripts because they strike it, but the words that you said that were objected to were were actually out there and floated. This is the same kind of tactic you're seeing here by this guy, Terry. I think it's Morin it.
Wasn't a member of a gang. And then they looked and on his knuckles he had Ms. There's. Wait a minute, wait a minute. He had Ms. 13 on his knuckles tattoo. He had some tattoos that are interpreted that way, but let's move on. Wait a minute, Terry. Terry. Terry. He did not have the letter MS1. It says MS13 that was Photoshopped, so let me do his Photoshop. Terry, you can't do that. Hey, they're giving you the big break of a lifetime. You know, you're doing the
interview. I picked you because frankly, I never heard of you, but that's OK. But I picked you, Terry. But you're not being very nice. He had MS13 tattoo. We'll agree to disagree. I'll Terry. On to something else, Terry, do you want me to show you the picture I saw the picture. Will. Photoshop. Here we go. Here we don't Photoshop. But don't look at his hand. He did have tattoos that can be interpreted that way. I'm not an expert on them.
I want to turn to Ukraine. I want to get to Ukraine. No, no, no, he had Ms. as clear as you can be not interpreted. This is why people no longer believe. Well, the news because when photographs in Elsa in in El Salvador, they aren't there. But let's just go. He they aren't there when he's in Elsa. They're there now, right? No, but they're they're in your picture. Can you imagine doing this interview? Like, first of all, he said he's
not an expert. Second of all, he wants to argue about it. And yeah, he's got Trump saying things that are not true at this point. Like he didn't actually have the letters Ms. 1:00 and 3:00. So it wasn't alphanumeric. They were symbols that represented it. But it's been well established by people who do gang work. But the thing that blows my mind is an ABC journalist allegedly will put journalists in air quotes is going to make the claim I'm not an expert.
But he already said what his opinion is. It's important that we have people allowed to do that and expose themselves for who they are. It really is. We're going to do a little story about free speech, which is an issue in Texas right now. And it's going to, it's going to segue into the story about whether or not you should be able to give your money to support someone that you want to because they're all related. We've, we've, we've lost this, this status, this historical
norm. It's the, it's the reason why I showed you the piece about Pabloco Picasso yesterday. We've lost it. There are certain things in America where you're allowed to disagree. You're supposed to be able to say your opinion no matter how dumb it is, and then we're all supposed to be able to lampoon you. By the way, anyone who thinks that the mainstream media never, not ever went after Biden this
way isn't exactly correct. I've got a clip that I'm going to play with you, which is something a little closer to my heart. A person that I have spoken to quite a few times and someone who I'd like to continue to highlight the story about Tara Reid that I found a clip that was running around talking about how Mika Brzezinski over on MSNBC actually did hold Joe Biden's feet to the fire.
Because if there's one thing we find whenever you're in conflict, if it's an old white guy versus a woman, the the leftist hierarchy finds itself in trouble, particularly when Joe Biden is out there and was the guy that he was. Before we do, let's go ahead and pivot over to the folks that are sitting on my desk right now with me, the the folks at Patriot Coolers. It's at patriotcoolers.com. The promo code is Kyle. There it is.
This is my 20 oz. And as I showed you, this is what I used to roll with something very similar to this. This actually is my old thermos from when I was in the Bureau. When I used to work in the Bureau, by the way, I ripped off the handle because it was too loud and I didn't want to. If I got out with it and went somewhere like sat on a park bench, I didn't want to call attention to myself with a jangle. So I actually have a little paracord handle here. That's how janky this thing is.
I've been using Patriot coolers basically since 20 October of 2017. This was before I even made it over to a surveillance squad. It used to roll in to the office with me. It sat in my briefcase. It's something that I would sip coffee from when I was hanging out working counterintelligence and bored out of my gourd. The only thing that kept me awake was just like copious amounts of coffee. And then it got to the point where it rolled with me every time that I went on a trip to go
watch bad guys. And now it rolls with me wherever I go. If I drive down, let's say to to Kyle, TX to go pick up a a ranch hand grill for my truck, it rolled with me as well. That's just how we do it now.
They're always with me. If you guys want a constant companion that won't let you down as far as keeping your beverage hot or cold, Patriot coolers is a great company to look into patriotcoolers.com again, the promo code Kyle and if you want one that is especially engraved with Kyle Serafin slash suspendables colors here, let me grab the one behind me is what they look like. That's what's on the wall. If you guys have never seen it,
this is one of our logos. That's the last line sub stack logo and our suspendables flag, which is a Betsy Ross with an S. You guys can check those out and you can order them just like this. You will not be you will not be disappointed. They're a fantastic piece of equipment and they come really well packaged. It's just a good company in general. I like when they I like when people actually consider all of the piece like the the way that it's packaged as well.
How about people that are not considering all of it? This is a slippery slope that we're going to play with. You ready? I saw this on Texas Scorecard. If you're not familiar with Texas Scorecard, if you live in Texas, you should be following them. They're pretty good conservative organization. I've actually been in their building a few times. We went and did some work with Catholic Vote down there.
They actually are are legitimately conservative people that are concerned about the things that you ought to be concerned with. And the thing that we have mentioned in the title of today's show principles, they're really only a problem if you have them. It turns out if you don't have any principles, you got no problems whatsoever. This is Dave Phelan, who's got a bill. It's called HB 366, and the goal of the bill is to stop deep fakes and parodies of
politicians. It's very self-serving. It is a it is an attempt to criminalize satire, parody, political effigy, and things that have been long held American traditions that you can lampoon to the point of doing SNL skits, pretending to be somebody to the point of in this particular case, it sounds like Date is upset about a a program that they do down in Houston called Drunk Date, a call in program with Michael Berry. I've been on Michael Berry's
show before. They want to criminalize this. Today we call them memes. It used to be called parody and satire. It used to be called sketch comedy and skits. The bill specifically targets political advertising that might feature an image and audio recording or video recording of an office holder or a candidate's appearance, speech or conduct that did not in in reality occur. In other words, deep fakes or parody or even decent fake. And AI is getting scary good.
By the way, folks, I use a program called Riverside to do our our interviews where that's where I record them. And Riverside has AAI voice function right now that I played with that I've never used before. Last night I got my wife sitting in the interview chair.
We're doing some microphone testing 'cause we're gonna bring some people in the studio today and talk about responses to terrorism and multi site terrorism and what that might look like from the law enforcement in the military and the the EMS perspective. I think it's going to be a
really interesting conversation. We'll have it out for you in a week or so. I got to put it together, but we're doing a microphone test and there's this little thing on the on the software that says, would you like to try our voice AI program experimental. You just type something in and it gives you a voice read back. And I went, oh, that's cool. Yeah, like I'll do that. I thought it was going to be just like a generic announcer voice.
So I type in a, a phrase. It's like, you know, thanks for joining us on the journey. This is the first time you've ever been here or something like that. And I hit generate and it's 3 or 4 minutes later, it says, you know, your clip is now ready and it plays it back at about 1.5 X Kyle Seraphin speed, which is pretty fast to begin with. But it sounded recognizably like my voice to the point where I played it to my wife who's sitting there listening on the
headphones. And she's like, Oh my God. She goes, what? When did you say that or something like that? Or she was like, I said, that's AI. She goes, no, no, no, it's not. I go, yeah, I never said that. I literally typed it in while you were sitting there. She was on her phone. It sounds enough like me that my wife thought it was me. My wife, who has been listening to me speak for decade and a half. That's kind of troubling.
That's how good this stuff is. That doesn't mean you don't have a First Amendment liberty to do that. Fort Worth attorney Tony McDonald, who specializes in First Amendment litigations, blasted the measure, saying, quote, it's amazing that this ridiculous bill is the top priority of the Texas House in their most powerful committee. This bill's obviously unconstitutionally would criminalize protected speech on the basis of its content. Right. And by the way, how did they
introduce it and do the vote? This is what it looked like when they were voting to move this measure out of committee and put it forward for them to be able to to actually vote on it on the House floor in Texas. This is the mundane stuff. This is why politics is not sexy. And the things that gets voted on there, it's like, you know, how did our Republic die? Yeah, just to these quiet little like gavels and and ayes and nays. This is what it looks like in Texas.
This is Mr. Phelan to explain the bill. Thank you, Mr. Speaker HB366 is a step towards transparency and integrity in political advertising. Move passage. Question occurs on passage to engrossment. Question occurs. The question occurs on passage to engrossment of HB 366. Record vote has been requested. Record vote is granted. The clerk will ring the bell. Show Mr. Moody voting aye. So Miss Jones of Harris voting aye. Have all members voted? Have all members voted?
There being 106 ayes and 39 nays. HP 366 is passed to engrossment clerk. So it's overwhelmingly passed with that little bell and that little Ding and they just voted to say that you, you are going to do an attack on free speech. Isn't that wild? It's truly troubling to me that people who are supposedly conservative that are supposed to have principles are willing
to do that. It's going to play into the story this Jacob Wells, this give send go in just a moment because either you believe that we are Americans and we can we can have fundamental civil liberties or not. You should be able to question politicians. You should be able to make fun of them. You should be able to lampoon them. You should be able to get answers from them. Here's that little thing I was telling you.
If you hear that the mainstream media has never once questioned Joe Biden, they only will when it actually fits their agenda. The people on the left. And this is the one where it's really hard for them to deal with it because woman equals higher on the hierarchy than useful idiot old white male who is a leftist. This is Mika Brzezinski basically holding Joe Biden's feet to the fire.
I'm only highlighting this again because there are times when people should have to answer questions and we don't have the whole story. So, you know, why did they not continue and and look into this thing? You'll notice this. This was not a main feature of Donald Trump's campaign because he has his own issues with women. Apparently the guy lived a different very, a very different life. Is not a politician. He lives as a like a rich Playboy all the way through the 80s.
That's who he was. Joe Biden has been a politician for basically his entire life. This should have been a bigger issue held up. But again, people are scared of scrutiny. That's what we're supposed to do. You're supposed to expose things and let people decide. Here's Mika Brzezinski just like hammering Joe Biden, by the way, whenever he says, look, that's his tell that he's about to lie to you. That's just my take on it. I'm supposed to be able to have
that take. I'm supposed to be able to allowed to say that I think Joe Biden lies right when he says, come on, man. Or look, I'm absolutely sure, why not? Why not approve a search of her name in those records? Approve a search of her name, Yes. And reveal anything that might be related to Tara Reid and the University of Delaware records. There is nothing they wouldn't they're, they're not there.
And if they if it's I, I, I, you know, I don't understand what you're the point you're trying to make.
The point I'm trying to make is, by definition, the point I'm trying to make is that you are approving and actually calling for a search of the National Archives records of anything pertaining to Tara Reade. I'm asking why not do the same in the University of Delaware records, which have raised questions because they were supposed to be revealed to the public and then they were sealed for a longer period of time. Why not do it for both sets of records?
Because the material in the University of Delaware has no personnel files. It has, but it does have a lot of confidential conversations that I had with the president about a particular issue that I had with the heads of state of other places that that would not be something that would be revealed while I was in public office or while I was seeking public office. It just stands reason, the best of my knowledge. No one else has done that either. I just in a way she hammers it,
by the way, it's really awkward. I'll put it out on social there. How about the story of Tara Reid? That's another story that depending on what you believe in advance, you already have an opinion. Democrats said that she was a liar even though she was a Democrat. People on the right suddenly were like, oh, like, well, we we agree with her because she doesn't like Joe Biden. And the facts lay somewhere in
the middle as usual. As usual, people who have opinions and have some vested interest in it, you should be skeptical of all of it. That's where I want to get to the story about what's going on with give send go. I thought actually was put to head, but apparently it's come back up. And I say that because Fox News ran an entire article. This is coming from Fox News
this morning. Co founder of gifts and go is not proud, quote UN quote not proud to host a fundraiser for alleged track meet murder suspect says some donors are quote UN quote wrong. That's a kind of a crap headline too. So here's the deal. Jacob Wells is going to come on and do a program with us. We're going to do a special live stream with him where I'm going to throw the phone number out on X. We're going to throw it out on YouTube.
We're going to throw it out on Rumble, throw it out all the places we have and anybody can call in and talk with him. But I'm going to give you what they're they they he did a longer sit down. It's over on YouTube as well. You guys can find that clip if you like. I'm going to give you a longer discussion about this, but it's
very simple about principles. Either you believe in a country that has rule of law and free speech and free debate and the ability to share information and try to suss out what is true, or you don't. It's amazing how polarizing a video can be. This video has people saying he's a scumbag. I'm going to play the video. We're going to, we're going to go and listen to kind of his own words. We're going to dissect what the
article says. And then I'm probably going to challenge you because some of you are not going to like this. There will always be people for the wrong reasons. I mean, on, on any campaign, there are people that there are people that believe that the best way forward is racial division. That's what they believe. And so they're going to stoke the fame, the flames of racial division however they can. And people do that all the time.
That's just the prerogative of living or, or the let's say, not even say penalty. But when you live in free societies, which we do, there is a price to pay. And that is it allows for some people to do things that might not be good. And I think people do that all the time. They like the death threats that we have or, or, or just even saying nasty things to people like, well, that's your prerogative. I don't think that's a good thing.
But do you think you're building society by by cussing and swearing and being derogatory to people? Like, no, I don't think many people would agree with that. But yet we have freedom to do it. And so there are people that think that's the best way forward. And I, I don't, I don't find any validation in that in the real world as far as making a positive difference. I think it just adds more fuel to the fire. And I think they're happy with that because that's what they want.
Pretty straightforward stuff. If you have principles and you live by them, you are going to upset people on both sides. I believe that Joe Biden should actually be allowed to say whatever it is that he wants to say. I think Donald Trump should be able to say whatever it is he wants to say. I think journalist job may be to question, but not to argue and disagree. Their job should be to trust the audience to understand what is
true and what is not true. Some people are going to cheer on what Donald Trump says no matter what it is, even when it's against their own interest or against their own principles, because they've decided Donald Trump is more important than principles. Some people will do the same thing with Joe Biden. In the case of this kid, there are, I'm going to divorce two things real quickly.
There's what I think would happen in my case if I'm the father of some boy who's been stabbed, if my child was stabbed, I don't think the outcome is going to be very good. I I think it would be bad for my eternal soul. I'll be very honest with you about that. My buddy and I had a a conversation. It's like I respect the living hell out of the father. This guy, Austin Metcalf, sorry,
Austin Metcalf's father. I respect him because I think sometimes God gives us strength that that is inhuman. Because if somebody admitted to stabbing my child to death, the homicidal rage that I would feel would not be professional. It would not be balanced and would not be good for my family. I think it would probably tear me apart.
And sometimes there are people who experience the same thing, that we can put ourselves in that shoe and say I would tear that person limb from limb with everything I have not, not like some sort of sterilized execution. I'm talking about visceral, disgusting things that would damage you forever. You would never be right and you probably would go to hell for it. So that could be true. But I respect the fact that as a country, we can't have that. That's not what America is.
America said. The way we founded our country is we outsourced vengeance in a Christian way. By the way, we outsourced vengeance to the state. And we call it something else because we've removed the emotionality of the parties that are involved. We call it justice. We say you must pay for your crime, but we don't do it with the emotion that a person who has, who is an interested party might be.
The state is supposed to be an apolitical, disinterested arbiter of what is right and what is wrong and whether or not we are, as a society, are going to tolerate somebody who represents danger to us. So we can feel very, very aggressive about something. And yet we don't try our cases with members of the family, right. Would that disqualify you from a jury if you were a family member of, let's say, the accused or the victim?
Of course it would if you have an interest in it, if the judge has an interest in it, if the attorneys have an interest in it, we call that a conflict of interest. And so you can't be part of the system because our system only works and it doesn't work that perfectly, obviously, but it only works if we actually outsource justice instead of having personal vendettas. The difference between the
society that we have. There was a, a really interesting podcast I listened to with Joe Rogan talking about it. And it's essentially the difference between herding cultures and agrarian cultures. Herding cultures are about honor. Because if you were to steal my animal, and this is before branding and before any other way that we're identifying marks, you could steal my animal with impunity.
And the only way that I could keep you from stealing my animal is by being scary enough that if you stole my animal, the things that would happen to you would stop you from ever wanting to do that. In other words, I would kill you brutally. If that's the case, then we have this society where you go, OK, fine.
The biggest and the strongest people are the only ones who get to actually accumulate wealth because they're the only ones who can physically protect it. An agrarian society is a little different. The way that theft happens. And this is, again, this is the, the conjecture of this, this Joe Rogan podcast that let's do, which I found fascinating.
And I think if you get to a very, very simple level, historically speaking, it makes sense When you're an agrarian society, an Agricultural Society, there's a couple things that happened. 1 is delayed gratification, which means you plant today so that you could harvest sometime in the future. And the way that you grow and you and you maintain wealth is by having property that bears fruits.
And the way to steal from that person, you could steal from the crop, but more appropriately, you'd be able to steal from their land. And you take the mechanism, the means by which they produce things. You move boundary stones, you move the markers, you claim territory that is not yours. And the only way that we keep from killing each other over those territories is outsourcing
vengeance, justice. We outsource it to the state, whatever the state may be, whether it be a local state, whether it be a state, state in the in, you know, like so our local government, our state governments or our federal governments. You outsource that thing. If you take the time to take it in front of some sort of system of justice, you cannot, you cannot have posses and vendettas that are carried out on your own grounds. So here's where it happens, right here.
Gibson Go Co founder, not proud. This is another article. This is coming from the the New York Post. They said some donors are wrong. The fact of the matter is what he said in reality was you can do anything you want. You can put your money behind whoever you want. We don't have to agree with you, but we are not a court of law at Gibson Go. The left loves to do this sort of thing. They love to cancel people and prejudge. Here's where I will challenge you right now. Real simple.
Was Kyle Rittenhouse guilty of murder? Did he murder people? Because people on the left thought so before the trial. They still think so after the trial, after he was acquitted. This is a problem, folks. Daniel Penny, you remember him? Subway New York held a man. The guy was actually breathing when he got up. That was a murder according to those on the left that hated him. And they stoked racial division.
Should they be able to raise money because the left tried them in the port court of public opinion and found them guilty in the same way that this young man who by the way, I have no sympathy for what's going on, he's going to go through. He most likely did the dumbest thing you could possibly do from what we can understand. But I don't have all the facts and neither do you. The things that I do understand
is he was standing in a tent. He was told to move, he decided not to move and killed someone over it. And now he's going to spend the rest of his life because I'm confident that if the facts line up with the way that we've heard it in the public, that he will be convicted.
And if he's convicted, he's going to spend the rest of his life being told to move and being forced to move by the United States prison, you know, industrial complex, the the state prison system in Texas, which is none too friendly. So he will move on someone else's say so for the rest of his life because he didn't move one time. Fine. That's what will happen, but I don't get to decide it, and you don't get to decide it.
That's what we have a court for. And even though we don't think that they're perfect, our court systems, they're as good as we've got, lest we descend into complete chaos. Do you want honor killings? Do you want people going after and saying, well, you did this thing, so now I will end your life? The escalation. That's what the Middle East is look like. It doesn't look like a place I want to live. It looks pretty problematic to me.
So although we have a very imperfect system, either you believe that we outsource vengeance in the form of justice or you don't. And if you want to cancel people while crying about cancel culture, you need to look at yourself and understand where your principles are. People have the ability to give money. No one's taking your money and saying that you have to fund the defense of Carmelo Anthony. Nobody is.
Nobody is saying that about race per SE, although the culture that we're in right now seems to be moving that. This is this is a meme that you're seeing on the. Political right, by the way, clean cut kid giving up, holding up the I love you sign with a cross on and then a young black kid who's like holding the lighter in the middle finger up and holding an AK like a Draco pistol or something. I guess that's a long barreled. Pistol. I don't know. What the hell?
Is going on there because it doesn't seem like it has a stock. Maybe it's got a folding stock? It's not about race necessarily, except that there. Is some money to be made in race? There are a lot of people that are click baiting you into feeling something, but at the end of the day you either have to go back to foundational principles or you don't if you believe. That we actually.
Do have a system, however, in Perfect, I guess that's better than the alternative, which is that we all just go out and do whatever we feel like it. If you want to live in a chaotic land where there is no government, where there's no outsourcing, and we're all just whoever the strongest people are and the best coalitions of the strong survive, OK, That's what I told you the danger was when we were looking at whether or not we are going to have an election.
I call it Western, right? The government is too small, too far and doesn't have the ability to actually affect what's going on. So it's just up to us. That's a dangerous place for women. It's a dangerous place for children. It's a dangerous place for businesses. If we're going to engage in the game of. We don't like what you stand for. We've already made-up our mind just like that. That journalist, quote UN quote, journalist from ABC. Don't confuse me with the facts. By the way.
Do all of you have the facts of what went on in that tent? Have you been part of the police investigation? Have you interviewed? Have you read every interview? Did you listen to all the audio of the interview? Did you watch them? Because each one of those people who were interviewed have some things written down in words. How many of you have read something and then heard someone say something and seen something different?
It happens. The fact the matter is that they will get to some answer and it is a local. Crime Story, but. The national outrage at people raising money for him, apparently he's raised about half, $1,000,000. And according to Jacob Wells, they haven't even taken any disbursement of that money to pay for the legal fees. Either you have principles or you don't. Either you. Believe that people have a right to all the things that it says that we have in the Constitution or you don't.
If you want to make up your mind based on what you've read. In the media sources that you've chosen, like this person represents me. So therefore I believe what that person says. I guarantee you you don't know all the facts. None of you are going to be called to testify and as unless you let me know otherwise, like I'm sure I'll get a comment. Some people tell me that they were at the track meet or something. We have a Texas audience, but if you were not.
At the track meet if you. Were not part of the people that were in the tent. If you were not one of the police officers who did the interviews, then do you really know the story and can you really sit in judgement of another human being based on what somebody has presented to you? We already know that the story is curated, so you let the guy raise. Money. No. One's taking your money the end of the day. Does it make that much of a difference?
I don't think it does. I think all the money in the world is not going to change the fact patterns because although we don't have a perfect system of justice, we're closer than not. We're a lot. Closer than not, and we definitely shouldn't. Be going after platforms that say we have principle. The principle is as long as you are not raising money to commit a crime, we will allow you to raise money to defend yourself against allegation that you did commit a crime.
There's a big difference there the right has made. This out to be like we're raising. Money. They're raising money for a race based murder. That's what it's been told. And that is fundamentally unfair because for all of you who think that that is the case, I again, I'll raise you. They also let people raise money for, for Luigi Maggiano, the guy who allegedly killed the, the CEO of United Healthcare.
I challenged Jacob at that time. I said, hey, are you really letting people raise money for that? And he said, we don't, we don't pass judgment before a court of law does. And I went, well, fair play. Yeah, that is the right answer. It's the opposite of what the left will do. We need more of that. And as you said, you can have all kinds of nefarious purposes.
But just like this bill in Texas, where they don't like the idea of memes that make fun of politicians, when you start censoring people, when you start putting out your judgment without all the facts or you try to stop what you call bad speech, you are now in the same the same boat as all the totalitarians on the political left that have done it. The the right is not without any guilt in this.
It's not good. And there are actual real problems going on in this world right now that are being fixed quietly. It turns out the things, what are they? What are they? The whoever talks the most eats the least. I think that's something we can. Consider for all of the folks. That are out there in the in in our our cabinet level positions apparently. Apparently Bondy was out on Hannity again last night. No arrests, no Epstein files, no
pipe bomber named right. How about the people that are getting the work done? I didn't see any of it in the 100 days coverage, although I saw a tiny little touch of it on some of the the lesser seen news stations. So I want to play two things. This is kind of an interesting little exchange with Chris Wright and he is on with CNBC, which is semi less partisan. It's an NBC affiliate but or an NBC company, but they tend to do more business stuff.
He's talking about something that seems truly important. The fact that America's position in the world was weakened not because of political rhetoric, because of actual coverage that nobody cared about. They were selling out our strategic petroleum reserves. Do you guys remember this? They'll distract you with one thing here. Pay attention to the shiny object. Daniel Penny, Luigi Maniano, Kyle Rittenhouse, Carmelo Anthony. Pay attention to that thing.
Don't pay attention to the fact that 10s of millions, hundreds of millions, 10s of billions of dollars are being squandered to basically prop up public opinion polls of the doddering guy that was walking around and the human Roomba that was occupying the White House with really bad policy. That actually does affect you because it's your money. You actually don't have that much at stake other than justice should be served. We should have a system that
outsources vengeance. That's what your stake in this is. Unless you are a family member, and most of you probably are not, but you all. Have a stake in how this country. Like handles national security and whether or not we have strategic petroleum reserves and whether or not our military is working properly. How about Chris Wright talking about this? They are rebuilding this on the
sly quietly. This should be something that would be very important for us to recognize regarding whether or not the 100 days were successful. They're undoing damage that was done by the guy that, you know, again, allegedly, depending on what side you're on, had a sexual assault and encounter with Tara Reid. Either you believe that or you don't. The truth is. Somewhere in the middle there. And we didn't actually figure out what it was all right. Here's Chris Wright talking about.
Strategic Petroleum Reserves, which actually is a national security threat and something that quietly got sort of just swept under the rug as the Biden administration sold us out on that is the price right enough, pun intended, I suppose. Mr. Secretary to refill the strategic. Petroleum Reserve right now. Oh, absolutely, we are refilling. The reserve now, and we will continue to refill the reserve the whole time I'm in office.
You know, that was just such an irresponsible action to drain that reserve so quickly for electoral reasons. And in fact, it was drained so fast, it did some damaging to the facilities. And so right now we only can fill two of the four major salt caverns we have. So we're doing repair work on the other two, We're slowly
filling the the other two. And I'm trying to get some funds through Congress that'll give us a longer term runway to fill the fill the Strategic Petroleum Reserve at the fastest rate we can. That seems like something that should have been a big issue. We drained all of our our reserves and we damaged our storage facility to the point where we couldn't actually do anything about it. Interesting. It did get a little bit of
attention. Doug Bergum, Department of Interior Secretary, talking about gas prices coming down and filling these things up. And, you know, sort of the way that it worked under the bite administration. It's amazing. Whenever anything good happens, every administration always claims it was because of them. Whenever anything bad happens, they always claim it was because of the previous administration. What's interesting is when something good is going on and someone doesn't celebrate it.
I found this to be quite illuminating because again, if people already come from a preconceived notion about what is good and what is bad and whether or not drilling for oil as they drive around their cars and wear their North Face jackets, if they think that oil is bad, then they won't even celebrate a victory, which means that the previous administration gets to claim the victory. This is a kind of a funny little exchange which kind of tells you about bias.
Isn't it fun when CNN admits what the bias is and what people will and will not cover? And this is a little taste of that as well. Yeah. We did see oil production at an all time high under under President Biden. He didn't tout it that often, but Secretary did because of the permitting that happened under President Trump. I mean, all time record oil production under Biden was because of Trump. It was in spite of Biden. I was running.
I was running a state that was a natural resources state. We were fighting the federal government. Federal government wasn't even holding the legally required lease sales during the Biden administration. First president since Harry Truman was Biden that didn't hold those lease sales. So for them to take credit, that was all because, well, they didn't take credit because it wasn't very popular with their their voters.
Secretary portable electricity is, is popular with everyone and America needs to make sure we don't lose the thing. I mean, take a look what's happening in Europe right now with this 60 million people in a brownout blackout. We came very close to that happening in America because we've the Biden administration policy so dangerously eroded base load in favor of having unreliable intermittent sources.
And so we're, we're just fortunate that we're not where Europe is right now and we don't want to go there. Germany spent a half a trillion dollars to go chase a green path and they ended up with electricity that cost three times as much and they're producing 20% less. That seems like a straightforward.
Admission on there that we're not going to talk about things that are really important to national security that are in fact national news that actually have to do with every single person's pocketbook on whether or not they can afford to fill their gas, which means that they can go grocery shopping, go to their job and so on because it's not popular with the base, she said. They're voters, so we.
We're we've moved into this era. Where the president doesn't look at the office, and especially the people in the Democrat side of it, didn't look at the office as being a present for all people. He looked at it as being the president for the people that voted him in. Maybe that's why our 100. Days don't mean anything.
Anymore. And maybe that's why it is so important that we maintain this thing about free speech and not give in. Censorship on one side or the other is always going to be problematic. Either you have principles and then you get to have America or you don't have principles and you don't get to have anything. We just end up in this stupid tribal, you know, knocking a ping pong Paul back and forth where we're going to do nothing but executive orders and nothing gets accomplished.
The best thing that the the Congress could accomplish right now is actually just repealing things left and right and, and, and divesting it down to the lowest possible level. That's my take on it. I think it's really important that we do that. And and again, if you want more evidence, I saw this a couple days ago. I've been kind of sitting on it. If you want evidence that there is no honesty coming out of these main news outlets, which is why they keep losing and hemorrhaging, you know,
viewership. It looks like this Everybody says the same word that means what it? What was the old expression that says if everybody has the same idea then somebody is not thinking that these? Talking points get marched out on the left. And on the right, that's what propaganda looks like. They're coordinated. And then you get a bunch of people that jump in because they want to be part of the in crowd. They don't want to be separated from their friends.
Whether or not they're getting paid or not is irrelevant. You keep seeing this. We used to call it, we used to just call it peer pressure. We used to call it things like Mockingbird media. You hear people using the word information operation. Propaganda has lots of different names for you don't have to actually have an operation per SE for people to be engaged in an information op.
And covering up for the DOJ and the and the and the the sort of ineffective nature of FBI transform has been one of those things that I've been watching acutely. Watch the voice that go out and are they all have something to say about it. Watch this escalation piece again. The right is just as guilty. I'll try and find we don't have as good a people putting together these clips of of our own side, quote UN quote, our own side, which is what I always get accused of calling out.
I still see it though. I can go find you dozens of people posting and making strong statements that are using the exact same terminology. We saw it with the binders thing, right? This is the left doing it, talking about the escalation and the chaos of the Trump administration as they slowly are doing undoing the damage that got done. Check this out. We begin tonight with the escalation in the president's crackdown on illegal immigration.
Today's dramatic escalation in the Trump administration's conflict with judges. The Trump administration signaling a major escalation in its deportation efforts today, an escalation in the Trump administration's battle with the judiciary. Tensions between local and federal authorities over President Trump's immigration crackdown escalated today. We begin this hour with a major escalation of the Trump administration's crackdown on
immigration. As we begin with what appears to be a major escalation in the Trump administration's deportation efforts and what is a major escalation in the battles here in DC over immigration and deportation. This feels like a insane and reckless escalation from the Trump administration arresting a judge. I will tell you, you are not alone. Is a dramatic escalation, more aggressive moves, more escalation. Trump's escalation of his migrant purge, this kind of escalatory action.
This is a dramatic escalation, escalation, escalation, escalation, escalation, escalation in an immigration, an escalation, an escalation. Yeah, kudos to Western Lensman. For putting that little clip together. How fun is that escalation? Get marched out. OK, fine. How about principles that would be good. What if we just de escalated just a little bit? The thing that the left always wants to say that police officers should be doing. How about de escalating and and and looking at facts?
It's not a thing that people necessarily want to do is what it is. All right. The fact is, is you should be able to have your own opinion and it doesn't have to agree with everybody else's. That is the America I want to live in. That is the divorcing as you guys just said on the chat from the hive mind that someone else doesn't get to tell me what is and is not an appropriate opinion we should all be able to make. Up our own minds, that means
you. Have to go out there and find good sorts of facts, and you should be a skeptic, which is something we constantly say here, be a skeptic. Consider the source, pound it against principles. If you want to know whether or not it makes sense, find the thing that you are most interested in believing. Whatever it is, it fits all of the things that you believe deeply and then challenge yourself by asking what what would be an alternative? What would be a mirror that I
could hold this thing up to? For every Carmelo Anthony, there's a Daniel Penny, right? For every Luigi Maggiano killing with a gun, there's a Kyle Rittenhouse story. There are plenty of examples, so it's worth all of us looking at that and again, challenging our underlying assumptions, which is that we think we know the answer when in fact maybe we don't have all the information. And in the cases of stuff like
this, we definitely don't. All right, one last little thing here that I thought was interesting. We did a Sunday special sitting with Andy Scheckman. I think you guys probably learned something watching that. One of the things that he mentioned talking about the, the tariffs, they were apparently they're not being talked about right now. I'm not hearing any tariff crying. Not I've I've watched every mainstream main site. They have moved on from that.
They're now crying about judges because it's the new, you know, outrage du jour. But the United States economy going into reverse in the first quarter, new GDP data shows. Remember, if you listen to what Andy said, and Andy watches money and wealth and does it for a living, and he's moved $12
billion worth of precious metal. So he's actually seen quite a bit of stuff going on. What he sees is the only way that the tariff fight works is if you go through the long haul on the other side, and that is going to mean some reversals, you're always going to end up with austerity, which means that the numbers are going to be bad. That's going to be something Donald Trump doesn't necessarily like because he likes to be able to message positivity all the time there.
There has to be an understanding that when you do things that are irresponsible, like drain the strategic petroleum reserves, then there's going to be a build back process and it usually cost you something. In the same way, if you guys go and you know, spend all of your money, your your rainy day fund, then it takes you a while where you have to tighten your belt for a bit and not go on, let's say a vacation or buy things
that you want. You actually have to tighten things up. And so the United States economy reversing in the first quarter, which was something that CBS pulled out, that's expected and it should actually continue for a while. One would expect that. In any case, that's where I'm sitting today. I'll remind you guys, this is a one man show.

you guys. We're going to be talking about the possibility of a multi site trained Mumbai style terrorist attack in the United States. There was some messaging going out that 1200 known terrorists have been identified as running around in the USI think the number is probably a lot more than that. Those are the ones that we can keep track of. So don't be surprised when we have a pretty interesting little conversation coming your way.
