Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an American patriot prepared to embrace the uncomfortable truth. Because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties enthusiasts, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. Hello my friends. Welcome to the Kyle Seraphin show for August 31st. Today is a Thursday and once again Kyle Serafin is not in the Captain's chair. He is still home with mom, new baby, family, enjoying one last
day. He will be back tomorrow for a friendly Friday. But I am here, the real Steve friend. And like Douglas MacArthur in the Philippines, I have returned and along with me is going to be my Admiral Nimitz, the GOB, actual Garrett O'boyle. Admit it Garrett, you did not expect a World War 2 Pacific theatre reference this morning. I certainly did not. But you know what? I'm here for it. I love it. I think it's appropriate. I mean, Kyle's definitely a a patent esque figure.
You know, he got, he got all the acclaim and then definitely won the the the great European theatre. But come on, there's something to be said for the Pacific theatre here. We, we did. We did well. We, we, I think, exceeded expectations yesterday. We triumphed over the low bar of Alec Baldwin, and we certainly exceeded Senator McConnell's performance. So I think we were called back by popular demand, or at least in a pinch. We reached a level of mediocrity that gave us one more day here
in the Captain's chair. I'll take as many as I can get. Well, I'm glad to have you here, buddy. I think that we're going to have a a pretty good show today. I'd want to delve and lean hard into the uncomfortable truths that the Kyle Serpent show is has brought its audience since its inception almost a year ago. It's the time is definitely have fun by here for for myself and I know for you as well. But before I do that, we want to acknowledge the sponsors of the
show. Ryan up spinning the dials is going to queue up a inspirational message from Catholic vote and and when he is ready for that, he can roll it. This great nation will endure as it has endured. We'll refine and we'll prosper. That the only. Thing we have to fear is fear itself. We. Choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things not because they are easy, but
because they are hard. Because that challenge is one that we're willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one we intend to win. This is America, a brilliant diversity spread like stars, like 1000 Points of Light in a broad and peaceful sky. We must act today in order to preserve tomorrow.
The economic ills we suffer will go away because we as Americans have the capacity now, as we've had in the past, to do whatever needs to be done to preserve this last and greatest bastion of freedom. All right, what up, Rumble? We're here at the Texas Mexico border. We're in Pharr, TX. I'm now in America with my Patriot cooler. Guess what? Now I'm in Mexico in my Patriot cool with my Patriot Cooler. You guys want to stay cool when it's 105° out here in Texas.
Visit patriotcooler.com Promo code Kyle. That's Kyle. Promo code Kyle. Show this channel some love. We're down here. And again, don't forget to tell Mayorkas that the this border is definitely not open. No, no way. No border open here. This is where the Border Patrol agent told us not to stay put for too long. So we're going to keep moving on.
Well done, Ryan. I mean, I was ready to run through a a brick wall after I saw those inspirational quotes from the president and then when I saw you breaking some international law to advertise our great sponsor Patriot cooler. Now I'm ready to just, I don't know, lift up a whole house over my head. I'm going to be I'm going to go Hulk. So and I'm I'm going to need I'm going to need some strength here. I think we're going to get into some very uncomfortable, some tough facts.
And I want to push the audience here today because I I think the temptation when you're the fill in host is just throw out the platitudes, paint by numbers, talk about we need tax cuts in a strong National Defense like it's 1998, but we're not going to do that today. So I was taught very early on in Garrett, I don't know if you've had this experience, especially when the military when somebody has to eat a bleep sandwich, you have to give them it to him in a sandwich form.
So you give him something good and then they got to eat the bleep and then they got to finish with something good. So that's the way I want to structure today's show. So first, let's start on a lighter note. And I don't know how you felt about yesterday, but I felt pretty good. And I've been doing the media thing for just about 10 months now. And I know when it first happened that the novelty of it to hit my kids pretty hard and they were really excited.
And now it's gotten to the point where they just shrug. So when I went, I left my office in my studio and was bragging to my 9 year old yesterday that hey, I just hosted a show. I was on the Internet and people around the world could watch it. And he said, did you talk about me? I said no. And he said, well, I'm not really interested in that at all.
And my my younger boy, when I got stressed out last week, I had a lot going on. He said, you should just have mom go on TV for you so that you can come and hang out with me instead and play video games. So they're not grasping. And I don't know how your four are, if they're sort of picking up on or they've become acclimated to the temperature of the water. What's what's been the the old Boyle family? Experience, you know, the novelty wore off pretty quick for at least the oldest 2 who
are the most aware. Gwen, she's 7 and Iris is 6. But now it's already to the point where they're like, you're doing an an interview again, or you're doing another show or you're on the news again. And I'm like, well, it's Newsmax. So I don't know how many people really watch, but yeah, I am. And they're like, can't you know, they're they're over it. It didn't take long. I bet you by the end of June they were like, OK, we've had
enough. Yeah, I mean, I think the novelty wears are pretty cool with the kids, especially when they don't have that experience. But I want to get some dad cool points. So for the the first part of the sandwich today, Ryan, would you mind throwing up that picture I threw you today? This is the first experience I had doing media back in the day when my kids were excited that I was going on TV. So now they will have no excuse but to watch this full episode in a time capsule.
They can have it forever. Little guy there, his birthday is tomorrow happy birthday Evan, he'll be turning 6 years old and the older 1 Mason buddy, proud of everything you're doing. So thank you for them for the last year that you've made this whole whole experience here worth it. So thank the audience here for letting me indulge on that. But I wanted to get that out there so we can get into the meat of things. So we have to get serious Sarah fans. That's what I'm going to lead
off with. And I want to sort of lay the groundwork for the type of environment that we're all living through right now. And then maybe get the heads nodding a little bit and then open it up to what the what sort of accountability is going to fall on our own shoulders here. So Garrett FBIDOJ completely weaponized at this point, would you agree? I agree. And I mean, I'll even caveat it. Like I get it, somebody in my position, of course that's what they're going to say.
But that being said, I wouldn't be in this position if they weren't weaponized because they would have said, hey man, this dude's he's whistle blowing how he's supposed to be. Because that's, I don't know if I ever told you this Steve, or if you ever heard me say it, but when I started whistle blowing, it was right. It was shortly after I took the annual whistle blower training in 2021. And I was taking copious notes, which I had never done.
And I did because the thought had already been in my mind. And I was like, OK, I'm going to get this right because I didn't. I don't want to get in trouble. And well, Fast forward to now and, and look where we are. So definitely difficult for someone like me to say otherwise.
But also I think we can point to about, I don't know, fifty dozen other examples of how it has been weaponized, not just the whistleblower aspect, but all sorts of different aspects that we can we can look at. Yeah, I mean, we talked about it yesterday that the the folks are facing the FACE act violation in the in the DC District. They're looking at 11 years in prison. Anthony Weiner got 21 months for
sensing A juvenile. So I mean, look, it's, it's been well documented certainly on our side and we've brought that out. We really hammered a bunch of those issues yesterday. We have a border crisis. So Ryan was down there and that's how we got our Patriot Cooler ad filmed. He was down there showing how the the problems that exist there were having thousands of people across and it's the flow has not been stemmed, even though the attention has waned
on that issue. And I remember in high school a teacher talking about the population of China and at the point where they had implemented the one child policy. And he was saying that if they had not just sort of bring their population down, which again, I, I would probably argue is a bad idea anyway. But the, the strategy militarily, because this was a, a JROTC class.
He said that the, the Chinese could win just about any war in modern day warfare by just sending a million people over the border and having them surrender and then the next day sending another million, having them surrender. And eventually, you know, probably within a week there, whoever their adversary was would have no, no way to handle that volume of people who were just peacefully surrendering. And I think that there is a, a logical, reasonable explanation.
You could say, especially now that we're finding some of these these Chinese people that are crossing our border, that they might be doing that to a certain extent, or at least funding people who are not necessarily of Chinese persuasion. But because of the Belt and Roads program, they have relationships with other nations, certainly throughout Africa and Eastern Asia. And those people see me find their way across the, the Texas border.
Would you agree? Yeah, I mean, I, I want to say as soon as I was in the FBI, they were telling us about about that, that that foreign nationals, not just from Mexico or, or South America were going to those countries and traveling N to cross our southern border. Because everybody knows how weak it was. And that was when Trump was president and he was the one who was trying to to make it a little more difficult to get across.
And, you know, I, I think he, he did help in that regard, but that the southern border has been such a monumental problem for man, probably as long as I've been paying attention to politics, seems like. Yeah, it just gets tossed around, I guess to, to get the, the fundraising or the the election people jazzed up and then just is, is is sort of like in vogue. It's a it always comes back. What's it every 20 year cycle of, of dress and apparel.
So that's why I always, I never changed my style because I'm always saying I'm at my head of the curve if I'm not in it, right. We have a radical environmental Green New Deal movement that is out of control here where, you know, you watch The Weather Channel and it used to be very cut dry with the color scheme. If it was hot, he would be red
or yellow or orange. And now they make it look like it's an eruption from Mount Etna because it's 88° in Phoenix in March. And I mean it that's percolated to get the culture. And then you can look at the I looked at a recent poll from you Gov that was done and folks of that were Biden voters. Their number one issue was environmental issues. And it was something like the number one issue of almost 1/4 of the voters. That was their their primary concern.
And, and look at the debate last week, the Republicans, the young, the YAF, the young Americans for Freedom, their question concerned young people's emotions regarding environmental problems. And I had a discussion probably in the last week or so with my folks and we were talking about Gavin Newsom in California. And my, my point to anybody who sort of rolls their eyes and they say, well, he's a napshot, he's a failure. And I said, well, he's not.
He's a success. The people voted for him and he's doing what he wants. From an environmental standpoint, California could impact, you could impact me with one simple decision. They could say no more diesel fueled freight trucks in our state.
And you consider all the ports that are along the Pacific Coast that are in California and the fleets that are going to have to navigate that regulation and the expense that they'd have to go through to have an electric vehicle fleet for and a diesel fleet or just transition entirely over to electric because of the quantity of product they're moving in California probably financially make more sense for them to go
electric. So if that were to happen, the expenses of goods that you order and I order and we get in our grocery store would explode exponentially. And essentially California through the its radical green agenda would dictate the rest of the nation's lives, livelihood. Your thoughts? Yeah, You know, I, I think that's a, a strong take away. One thing I've, I don't know where I first learned this. I'm certain it's not an original
thought. I'm sure I picked it up somewhere, but California, they're ahead of the bell curve or in a lot of ways they are the bell curve for where America is headed. The rest of the country is usually, I don't know, anywhere from 10 to 20 years behind whatever California is doing. And so they, they lead the way for our liberal agenda and they, they always have, or again, at least as long as I've been paying attention.
And you're right. So in regards to electric vehicles are going away from diesel, I think it's pretty clear for anyone who's been paying a little bit of, of attention to the energy sector and where that technology is at. Like, yeah, Teslas are cool and the, the, the innovation and the technology is, is certainly on the cutting edge, but it's not quite there yet. And it would be awesome if we could move away from fossil fuels. And yeah, sure. Would that be great?
Probably. But then it makes me think of something. Actually, Ryan and I were talking about this after the show yesterday. There was a guy who created an engine that ran on water. And what happened to him? Well, he ended up dead. And while he was dying, he said they killed me. And so it makes me think like, whether it's fossil fuels, whether it's electric, whatever the energy source is or whatever the, any energy source that we're headed to, is it it's all
again about control. And in a lot of ways people like Gavin Newsom and other elites, you know, I think of Trudeau up in Canada, he's another one. I, I, I feel like those two are, they're, they're like pen pals, you know, they're, they're so similar in a lot of ways, but they, all they care about is control and they want to keep you under their thumb.
You know, I, I remember back during COVID, Gavin Newsom was caught at the, at the French Laundry, a really expensive restaurant out there, not wearing a mask, not social distancing and, and all of that. And, you know, he ended up still winning his, his recall election bid. And it's like, well, you know, sometimes we get what we deserve and we certainly get the leaders that we, the quote UN quote leaders that we deserve. And I think California is a
quintessential example of that. Hey, Garrett, I got that video queued up if you guys want to watch it. Yeah, roll it. Yeah, there. Was a video that was circulating many years ago about a guy who created a car that runs on water and then this car that ran on water maybe apparently had a viable engine and it was really working. And and then he, he had a heart attack. As he was dying. He was saying they killed me, they killed me. And then he died. He took a sip of cranberry
juice. Then he grabbed his neck, bolted out the door, dropped to his knees and vomited violently. I ran outside and asked him what's wrong, his brother Stephen Meyer recalled. He said they poisoned me. That was his dying declaration. That's fucked up. That's fucked up. Oh. Sorry to know the F bombs were in there. That's Joe Rogan. You got to get a point. That's. How that means?
Joe Yeah, I mean, who knows at this point, especially you you touched on it, Garrett, with the the coronavirus stuff and everything that was hidden with all the alternative methods of treating that and how bad it is. And I think it was just run out in in the Guardian that the death toll that is now being touted to justify more lockdowns, mass mandates, wait
for it, COVID 23 is coming. They're saying that less than 1% of the people that have died that were originally attributed to coronavirus or actually coronavirus induced deaths. So the manipulation for that is, is outrageous and it's resulted in, I would argue, a democide, which is the government killing its own people for no reason, innocent people with the, with
the vaccine at this point. I mean, I don't it's arguably one of the worst, most catastrophic actions the government has it taken on its own people in in recent memory. Yeah, no doubt about it. And I mean, honestly, we could probably do at least an entire show on on just that aspect.
But you know, it makes me think of what the Japanese and Germans were doing during World War 2 that we found out about later, like experiments that they were doing on on PO WS or even in Japan. I think sometimes it was even their own citizenry. And you can see that and people look at that and say, well, that's that was horrible. I mean, look at the details of what was going on there. And it's, it's for a lot of people, it's a little more clear cut. Well, guess what?
Like tyrannical governments, do they learn from the past and some of the slip UPS and mistakes of of their predecessors? I don't think this is any different. And then in a in a lot of ways, it was a global campaign to get as many people vaccinated as quickly as possible. And you better do it or else. And it's coming back around even here now in the quote UN quote
land of the free. You would think we we would have learned from our previous missteps with, with the first round of COVID that lasted 2 weeks. Oh, wait, 2 1/2 years. But but yeah, I don't know. It'll be interesting to see what America writ large does since we kind of had a test run and everybody, you know, I say everybody, the majority of people just went with the program because it was, oh, the experts, they and the government who are often looked to as the experts.
Well, they're telling us that we have to do these things. And then we, we did them. We massed and we social distanced and well we the royal, we got vaccinated and because we were told to and we were told that it was our civic duty and
that we would be harming. Other people, if we didn't do these things and all of that was a lie, and when the powers that be are lying so vigorously, and if you don't go along with the lie, you get punished, What other reason are they doing that for other than to control you as much as possible and to force you to do things that you don't want to do as much as possible? That that's all it boils down to is power and control. So Land of the Free Man I I skip over that part during the
national anthem these days. Yeah, I think you're probably justified to doing that and then gloss over a few more of these issues just to to lay out this itemized list here where we've we've talked about the radical green agenda and this border crisis is out of control weaponized FBIDOJ tranny madness international affairs. We have this war that is going on that likely we'll see boots on the grounds over it.
The proxy war that it's not not really a proxy war because we're openly sending arms to Ukraine. And I I saw a joke that in Florida had a category 4 hurricane caused untold amount of damage. So that means we're probably got to send $10 million more to Ukraine and then you have a Chinese threat that's growing. I mean, what's what is in the cards for the threat to Taiwan, which is are we going to defend them? Are we not?
There's always sort of been this ambiguous agreement, non agreement, aggression, non aggression thing that we have rolling with China on that. And I think that's that's served the sort of as a deterrent. But they are going to call our bluff. I think.
I think that they see us teetering a little bit and as opposed to embracing us and making sure that we're good on our feet, they're going to they're going to push and they're they're facing their own economic problems and they they know their their window of opportunity to maybe ascend to be the the global hedge among the superpower that's to plants United States. That might be sooner rather than later. The 50 year plan might be a five
year plan. And if we finish with two things on this long list, we got inflation or buy an inflation as we like to call it, where I saw a story last week that the last car that was a brand new car you could purchase for less than $20,000 was officially removed from the market. So if you buy a brand new car and the price of that car starts with A1, it is a six figure car and you have the average home price that Kyle's talked about, which is now north of $400,000.
So you've effectively priced out new young families that are trying to buy their first home and then you've locked them into these rentals. And the fact that the rental monthly rates are out of control as well. And there's a lot of corporate interest in, in buying private property and then renting it out. You've really created a housing crisis in the country. And it's, it's all derivative of this out of control inflation
that we're seeing. I mean, I, I do the grocery shopping in household and I know that from two years ago, I'm spending normally 50% more on grocery for the week, every week that we go. And, and we're, we're fortunate enough that, you know, we're not right at that line that I know so many people are, which is why we've seen the, the credit card debt skyrocketing out of control because people just can't afford
to live a regular life. And then they're not really living outside their means your or, or just eating and then and housing yourself, you would think would not be living outside your means and you're not being extravagant with it. But unfortunately, I think that that's that's come to pass for too many people. And then the last thing that I want to finish with is the the indictments and the on the former president of the United States that have taken all the
headlines. And it's it's not just specifically to Donald Trump. I think that it is creating a avenue, a recipe, a game plan for what's next. And the the bloodlust will not be satisfied with Donald Trump. I think once he is, he's done and then locked away, that they will turn their attention to the next person, which likely is going to be somebody like you or me, correct?
Yeah, I think in some ways they they already have turned towards us, just maybe not as full-fledged as as somebody with the notoriety like Donald Trump. You know, as you're going through this list, it, it's making me think all of these, all of these pieces are working together. And, you know, I guess I can't speak for everybody, but sometimes at at least in my own life, I get fixated on, on one or two issues. And those really become my
focus. Like, like gas, for instance, it's almost $4.00 a gallon here, which is crazy to me. And you know, I'll be like, wow, I can't believe gas is that much. And oh, bite inflation. But I don't always remember to connect the dots that all of these pieces of the puzzle are they're all in the same pot. And that pot is boiling or it's getting, it's getting to a boil. And when it boils over, man, it's going, it's going to be quite the combustion of of all sorts of different sectors of
our country and the world. Because, you know, there, I think there's a bigger agenda going on here, not just in America, it certainly is here with all of these things you, you just mentioned. But when you think of them like, Oh yeah, these are all actually working together.
They're all connected. It, it, it really, at least for me, reminds me of the broader scope of what the government is doing and all the powers that are at play going on and, and, you know, vying for that, that piece of the, of the pie and for control. Yeah, look, I, I think that we've kind of laid out a list of grievances of usurpations, if you will, that everybody is feeling and it's, it gets sort of overwhelming to a certain extent.
And it's like driving, drinking out of a fire hose or fire hydrant that you always hear with when it comes to training. They just throw a lot at you. I think that you're just being attacked on all sides. And, and I'll get to this point
later too. I think I'd like to get your thoughts on especially being a combat veteran on seizing the initiative because I think right now one side to being flanked at every opportunity and it's just sort of hunger down and it's frozen in this fight flight or freeze. And then we've chosen freeze and it's created that problem where we're just being vulnerable and attacked on all sides. But I think that the first step to solving a problem is committing. You have a problem and you have
some accountability in that. So what I would like to do is talk about a couple items that I think that we are prone to accuse of the other side, but we need to take some responsibility
for ourselves. And then Ryan, if you could cue a video number one for for us that this is something that I know everybody got got excited about and was screaming about during the election of 2020. And this was our current president when he was campaigning with Charlemagne the God. Why don't you go ahead and roll it, running mate? Black people saved your political life in the primaries this year. They have things they want from you and one of them is a black woman running mate. What?
What do you say to them? What I say to them is that I'm not acknowledging anybody who is being considered. But I guarantee you there are multiple black women being considered multiple. Charlemagne had a follow up question but got interrupted by someone off camera saying their time was up. The radio host instead invited Biden to come back, but Joe's response was off putting. Listen, you got to come see us when you come to New York, VP Biden. I will.
It's a long way until November. We got more questions. You got more questions. But I tell it, if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump and you ain't Black, there you have it. The sitting president of the United States making a openly racist comment. And then that was during the the heat of the campaign.
And then that was one of the the issues and was definitely a campaign issue talking point that he has his history and his proclivity to say these things and what are his true beliefs. And I think that they're justifiably or anybody would be justifiable in questioning them. But what I want to point out is what happened last week after President Trump was indicted in Fulton County. And, and if you could pull up the link #1 Ryan here. I want to sort of put a display
on this one. And so, so President Trump surrendered in Fulton County. And immediately it seemed to me that there were a lot of people in conservative media and social media that could not wait, including Fox News. You could argue what it is conservative media at this point. But definitely is the the £800 gorilla still in in the in the sphere of influence and they could not wait to say that President Trump was gaining with the black American vote as a result of his arrest.
Can we pull up link number 2 when you're ready for that, Ryan, I would like to introduce that. And this was a an article and then granted. Look, it is from MSNBC. So, you know, I, I read it so you didn't have to. I, you know what? I, I had a toilet nearby, so I was good to go.
But I do think that the way this, this article opens up, and it's by Johan Jones. He wrote it on Monday at This Week. And he says as conservatives try to cope with the reality that their leader, Donald Trump, is facing a wave of federal and state indictments, they're clinging to desperate hopes that the criminal charges will help
his electoral chances. And following Trump's arrest in Georgia on charges related to his efforts to overturn the state's 2020 presidential election, conservative media figures have trotted out a particular desperate line that Trump is going to win over more black voters than previously thought. Because he's been arrested. And we don't have to go into the rest of it. It's obviously very politically charged. And he he comes from the the political left.
But I do think that we need to take some accountability here and acknowledge that an argument that a presidential candidate is going to gain approval from a certain racial group because he got arrested might be a little bit racist. Would you agree, Garrett? Absolutely. You know, man, it's actually disgusting to me to seize something like that because a lot of people on the right, excuse me, will always talk about, you know, we're not divided. We're not as divided as the left
says we are. A race isn't as big of a deal as they say, but then they do a stunt like this and it's like, this is just as bad. I think most people, at least most people in my life and for the majority of my life, race
hasn't been an issue. And that especially came to roots for me in the military because not only did I meet people from all over the country who I never otherwise would have met, I met people from, man all sorts of places I would never go. Like one of my best buddies was from like the hood of Tucson. And you know, he's a, he's a Latino guy. And another one, one of the best soldiers I ever knew, black guy that him and I worked with.
We worked together very closely for about two years, year and a half. And it didn't matter. Nobody cared. Nobody cared. But when you look at headlines like this, this is this is part of the division that they are causing on both sides. And it it it really aggravates me because, you know, today they'll say, oh, if if you say that race doesn't matter, that's just another form of racism. OK, All right. So you're damned if you do and damned if you don't.
No matter what, race is an issue, at least to again, for me, it's the people who want to maintain that power and that control. They're going to use whatever they can to keep us divided. Because Steve, let me ask you this. I look like a white guy, don't I? And I talk like a white guy. I sound like I'm from the north. But would it shock you and would you hate me more if I told you that I have Middle Eastern blood
in me? There's a Lebanese or Syrian in, in my bloodline just back two generations. So now will you hate me more because I, because I have some Middle Eastern to me. And also maybe, maybe I can add racism to the tally for what the FBI has has done to me as well. But it's just so absurd that anybody would act like that is an actual issue. Does racism exist? Yeah, sure it does. And people who are racist are foolish. They always have been.
And I think it's in such a small, it's such a small segment of society who who actually acts like a race war would be a good thing, that they're so irrelevant because they're so small in number that it basically is an is an irrelevant topic. Yeah, I think that's well said. I mean, if I was going to be racist against you, I would just call you a Mick and make some potato famine references and call you a drunk, right? That's your name. All right, so personal accountability.
Let's make sure that our own house is in order. We can't be doing that moving on government spending. But this is it. This is always been an issue of the right. This is even down to the the Paul Ryan types who are just always screaming about the budget. But you and I were just talking before about by inflation and you know, you got almost $4.00 a gallon gasoline, can't afford a new car, can't afford to live groceries out of control. I want to pull up link #3 Ryan,
if you could. And this is I think it's a pretty helpful. I wish it went back a little bit further, but it is the American Presidency Project from UC Santa Barbara and they go back to Calvin Coolidge all the way up to current present day President Biden spending that was occurring under each president. And how old were you in 2017 through 2020? Garrett, do you have any memories of those times? Yeah, I've got a few of of 2017 or 1717. No, I mean, Joe Biden has
memories of those, not you. How old? I don't know. I was in my 30s. Like, yeah, I mean, and the point is here, look, if I Scroll down to spending, that was during the Trump administration, it was over $4 trillion in the first two years, over 6 1/2 trillion dollars in year 3 in 2020. And then because of the way that the fiscal year works out, he gets credit for 2021 and that was over $7 trillion.
So the last two years of of his budgets were $3 trillion each added debt to our national debt and and that that level of spending tapered slightly under the Biden administration and it came down into the six trillionth as opposed to the 7 trillions. But I think that a lion's share of the, the inflation that we are experiencing everyday with our normal expenses should be attributable.
And then the Republicans should held accountability for it because they're the ones that passed those budgets too.
And then a Republican president, I'm, you know, I'm not tributing you just just to Donald Trump being the, the, the guy who did it. But it, it was perceived to be the conservative side, the part of the supposed to represent conservative police, which is supposed to be fiscal sanity to some level thrust this upon us. And I, I reflect a lot about, do you remember when Cyprus had its haircut weekend where they, they went into everybody's bank account and took 10% of
everybody's bank account. They froze all the banks. I do vaguely remember this. Yeah, yeah. And, and at the time, it was, how could that ever happened? And I just remember thinking, what's the difference between that and having inflation? It's just condensing the time period into three days as opposed to three years, but that's essentially what our government's done to our buying power. They've given us all a haircut.
For sure. And you know another, that's another topic and I think it's another piece of the puzzle.
But central bank digital currency, who's to say that in the next 5 to 10 years, our own government, I mean, I actually think they could right now skim 10% off of everybody's bank account who isn't in catastrophic debt Cuz you know, you mentioned earlier the, the credit card debt, I forget off the top of my head what the national average is, but I know it's astronomical and you know 7375 dollars look at that.
That's insane. Thanks, Ryan. I mean, that that 7 grand just in credit card debt alone every every month you're carrying that over 20.96% interest rate. Yeah, that's insane. Like, you know, I used to make the comparison like, hey, if you had a a monthly budget and you started overspending that budget every month, you know, I would make this comparison to government spending.
And when I hear that number that people are carrying, you know, over $7000 on average in credit card debt every month with that 20 plus percent interest rate, it's like I can't even make that comparison anymore because the majority of people are in the hole just like the government. And everybody goes along like it's all gonna be OK. And it's like, no, that house is going to come crashing home at some point. And it makes me think of China again.
And Taiwan. China owns a lot of our debt and we get the vast majority of our goods from China. So they're the ones carrying the big stick here, not us. Because you know, you have all these people with the Ukraine flag and their Twitter profile or whatever. And they're they're so pro that war, yet they're not willing to go and they're not willing to send their kids to go, which that's that's a whole nother topic again. But where's where's the outrage over over Taiwan?
We don't see it yet, but oh, we'll go fight Putin in Ukraine. But we'll send, we'll send hundreds of billions of dollars to do that. And, and, and Ryan, can you queue up video #2 here? Because I think it, this links also between the, the out of control spending that we've seen. And then that the third topic that I want to talk about taking some accountability for. And that's going to be interference with the election process in 2020 especially. Can you go ahead and roll video
too? The US Congress has passed and the President has signed the CARES Act. The vote. Came in the. U.S. House of Representatives on Friday, March 27th, just two days after it passed the US Senate. And it wasn't without a little bit of drama because the members of the House are at. Home. They had to do a roll call. Vote and that had some procedural hiccups.
Along the way, but it is a done deal and the president has signed it. The CARES Act stands for Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act. It's about 2.2 trillion. $1,000,000 in stimulus. The purpose is to revive the economy impacted by the coronavirus and to stave off a deep recession because of the consequences of the virus. Lots of unemployment, lots of businesses closed, and lots of. Families struggling right now as
they try to make ends meet. President Trump signed the legislation Friday in an afternoon ceremony in the Oval. Office This is seen as. The. Largest emergency aid package in U.S. history. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi acknowledged that the bill wasn't perfect, but she said hopefully it was sufficient for the time being, adding that she does understand that more must. More must be done.
Not perfect, but sufficient. That is a Democrat House, House leader and a Republican president both coming together to spend $2.2 trillion for an aid package when they told everybody to stay home. So that's your spending aspect to it. But Garrett, did you track on the and this is the the next link up here, Ryan, this is from
the GAO office. This was link #4 $400 million of that was set aside for the HAVA They Help America Vote Act. 2002 and it was devoted to assisting with the election of 2020. So essentially both parties contributed to the mail in vote voting fiasco that we witnessed in 2020 through a virus aid package. Right, which that has nothing to do with the virus, a pandemic, an emergency power authority where we need more money for whatever other things.
But you know what it does have something to do with the UNI party and they're all working together. They all act like they you know, they're they're they're mortal enemies, but in reality, the vast majority of them are just the other side of the coin and they know that they're in on on the gig. But the rest of us we got to keep kept in the shadows. But that, that, that $2.2 trillion bill, it reminded me of that quote that's attributed to George Washington. Government is not reason, it's
force. You know, I don't know the whole thing off the top of my head, but it's, it's a really good quote. And he was right. And it's like, this is exactly what he was talking about, that this is government being force. It's just forcing its own will on the people it's supposed to actually be taking care of and protecting. Well, let me rephrase that. Cause government is not supposed to take care of you. You're supposed to take care of yourself.
And government is supposed to be just to make sure we have a standing army and you know it. It always grows out of control, which I think is what George Washington was getting at as government being forced and not being eloquent and being its own master essentially is what it what it eventually gets to. And I think we're seeing that in real time.
Yeah, they're using the dollars that we send them to bequeath to us. It would create the illusion that they're giving us something so that that they can get our thanks for giving us our own money back. And it's done, I think, for their own personal gain. There's no, no question about that.
They've all financially gained. So you, you watch that, that Nancy Pelosi stock tip Twitter account and it just tracks, you know, how she's become exorbitantly wealthy just because of her connections that she has. But I think that we have to take personal accountability because the Republicans signed off on that bill as well. And so they, they signed their own death work when it came to any sort of election malfeasance, where was
accountability there for them? And I think ultimately we have to address the last thing personally before we get into the latter part of the sandwich where we can go back to good again. And Garrett, I want to, Ryan, can you keep this video #3 And I want Garrett to watch it and then get his thoughts. I know he has some on Idolatry. Go ahead and roll it. From mug shot to coffee mugs in
a matter of minutes. Former President Donald Trump is fundraising off his historic booking photo after surrendering to authorities last night. Natalie Brand reports on the latest people following Mr. Trump facing the Fulton County Jail photographer all charged with conspiring to overturn Georgia's 2020 presidential election. It's former President Donald Trump's fourth criminal indictment, but his first time having a mug shot taken. What? Has taken place here is a
travesty of justice. We did nothing wrong. I did nothing wrong. He arrived at the Fulton County Jail in Atlanta Thursday to be booked on charges that he and 18 Co defendants scheme to reverse his 2020 election loss in Georgia. We have every right, every single right to challenge an election that we think is dishonest, that we think it's very dishonest.
In an interview with Newsmax, the former president called his booking a terrible experience, but it hasn't kept him from selling mugshot merchandise on his campaign website. He also returned to X, formerly known as Twitter, for the first time since being banned in January 2021. All right, now, look, I don't want to get into the electoral aspects to it. I don't want to get to the guilt or innocence of Donald Trump on any aspect of that case.
What I want to hammer in on is the just the idolatry aspect to it, where we're going to put the guy's face on mugs and T-shirts and things. And I was always under the impression that the glory be belongs to one source and and not another. What are your thoughts on that GOB? Yeah, man, I could go deep on idolatry. You know, even even as a believer, I'm sure there are aspects of my life that aren't perfect or that there are things I idolize too.
But when you first mentioned this to me this morning, I, I've really started thinking about it hard. And for those who have read my sub stack, I know it's, I know I, I keep a kind of under lock and key for now. But, and Steve and Kyle know this and some others, but I, I jokingly, half jokingly refer to Wisconsin as Nineveh.
And I started my sub stack with this idea of comparing Wisconsin to Nineveh and our our path and our journey in comparison to that of Jonah. And so I, I thought about this in regards to idolatry because the the the sailors when Jonah was trying to flee to Tarshish were all pagans. But it in Jonah chapter 2, verse 8, it says those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.
And, you know, Donald Trump may not be a carved image, but putting him on your mug or a T-shirt or are really holding him up. And and you know, what's interesting about this is it's a lot on the on the Christian quote, UN quote, Christian, right, who idolized Donald Trump the most. And it's like, Hey, have you, when have you remembered what the Bible says about that? And he's not going to save you. He's not going to save us. That's what I want to hammer in on like that.
That's that's my greatest problem with it. And like, look, I don't care about. But back your guy, man. Wave your flag, wear your hat. I don't even have a problem with you have a T-shirt with his name on. No, but you cannot argue that any man. I don't care if his name is Vivek Ramaswami, ASA Hutchinson, Donald Trump, Nikki Haley, Ron DeSantis, Joe Biden, Gavin Newsom, that is a man or woman.
They're not going to save you. And the solution to turning around the problems that we have itemized here throughout the most of the show is not going to be just just got to vote harder and we got to worship more at the altar of one person. We need to actually have tangible, concrete solutions, an actual plan to take the country back in a better direction. Ryan, did you have a question? Yeah, I did. I was just curious. And what is what is ISIS's job like? What do what does ISIS do?
Is their sole purpose just to destroy a country or what? What is the mission of ISIS? I think it's to install a caliphate in the Middle East. So would we consider the FBI in the United States the American version of ISIS? And that, I mean, you're speaking my love language. I'm going to be honest. And they definitely like to post. They like, I mean, I think I'm no, I'll give the hat tip here to to Jesse Kelly.
He made this argument, I think that this week earlier he said that that's what terrorist groups do is they post a video taking credit. And the FBI loves to post videos of themselves taking people out. They'll put that out there, I mean, and and claim it and stick their claim to it. So I think that there's a, there's a strong, at least metaphorically speaking, the FBI ISIS connection is, is very strong here. Well done. Right. And they and they technically
installed Joe Biden, correct. So they installed a position of president and they're. Destroying, Yeah, for sure. They helped in the election narrative and they definitely during the Trump administration were hindering him greatly. I mean, they were trying to pull out, you know, Mike Flynn and, and brought the Russian collusion investigation, which
was fully debunked. And I think that the the FBI was a heavy-handed player in that and which is why I've been arguing for for measures to reform. Well, I've been arguing to actually dismantle it, but I'm, I'm a little bit more pragmatic about what our prospects are doing that, which is great. Thank you for this, for the transition. So now we get to the the back end of the sandwich here. So back to good again, now that we've taken some accountability and we've, we've admitted we've
transgressed, what can we do? What is the plan to actually solve it? And I, I, I'm look, I'm just a man. I'm not, I'm not going to be the savior here. I have some ideas. I don't think that the, that they're sufficient, but I would like to see maybe them implemented or at least tried or at least discussed. And we can do that here with, with GOB actual. And the first one is as a hammered home is the doctrine of the lesser magistrate.
We have to look to the local government to solve our problems are and stand in the gap and be the bulwark against and out of control federal government. And just look at the name of our country, the United States. It states is paramount here. So we should rely on our state government far more than our federal government. You should know who your mayor is in your City Council way more than your rap at the the federal level or your senator or even the president.
And I had the experience last week and it was it was great. And this was down in Collier County, Florida. So on the West side, they is the home of Naples. And I had an interaction a couple months ago with an attorney there. Her name is Christina User, She's a civil rights attorney. And she had been working on an initiative there with a group to pass a Bill of Rights sanctuary
county ordinance. Now this if you want to to pull up video #4 here, Ryan. This is in the aftermath of it, but I want to sort of set the groundwork for it. This is going to be something that the county can protect their citizens from an out of control fed. Can we roll this video states is the land of the free and one county says those freedoms can be extended to whether or not we cooperate with the federal government.
Collier County Commissioner Chris Hall is reviving the controversial Bill of Rights sanctuary declaration and this would prohibit any agent, department employee or official of Collier County from enforcing or investigating any activity relating to an unlawful act. Now, this is defined as any federal act, law, order, rule or regulation which violates or unreasonably restricts, impedes or impinges upon a person's
constitutional rights. White news reporter Michelle Alvarez is live at the Collier County Commission. And Michelle, what do people think about this ordinance? Supporters believe the ordinance will guarantee smaller government and less federal control, and the majority of Collier County commissioners agree. The measure passed 4:00 to 1:00. Collier County Commissioner Chris Hall had a mission Tuesday and he got it done. Collier is now a Bill of Rights Sanctuary County.
This is not an ordinance to to go against any constitutional law that comes forth. This is an ordinance that allows you, the people, to be protected by anything that comes down that's unconstitutional or what we would call an unlawful act. The commissioners debated the issue once before. In 2020. One, but the issue failed to pass. Sheriff Kevin Rambosk supported the proposal two years ago and did so again Tuesday. My oath and office commits to a very solemn and sincere manner
to support protect. And defend the Constitution. In fact, in our agency, we live with this oath every single day. And, and it's relatively familiar to us and we've been doing that. For 100 years, the ordinance. All right, so that's Calgary County. I spoke actually at that county meeting. That was the Board of Commissioners meeting. They invited me to come down and look, it's blocking and tackling. It's not sexy. It's not catching the winning touchdown in the Super Bowl.
You're not the wide receiver, you're not the quarterback who threw it, you're the offensive tackle who was blocking on that play. And this is something that the lion's your people are going to have to get involved with. And then let me tell you get down into a little more granular level of what that involved with these people they brought forward. This is mostly derived from the the the COVID shutdowns and lockdowns. And they were very unhappy with that as as most of I think
America was. So they initially proposed that at a county level and it was struck down 3 to 2. They lost and they did not take their ball and go home. Instead, they worked through the grassroots to elect two different commissioners to that board and they changed the the way that it was constituted and that resulted in a four to one victory when they re proposed the same ordinance 2 years
later. That was a long term plan they implemented at the local level to protect the people against out of control weaponized federal government. And they deserve the kudos for that. And, and just to, to, to paint the picture, when I went down there, they said that this is a pretty big agenda item. It was agenda item number 2. Agenda item number one was pickleball court installations in the county. So we sat there for three hours as 33 different speakers debated
pickleball courts. This is America now your priority is pickleball over Bill of Rights. But that's, that's what it's going to take that you're going to have to sit there for that length of time and, and, and be uncomfortable and then get up and, and speak and work hard at the grassroots level to, to see the change that you need.
That's necessary at this point. And I, I want to give a hat tip to two of the folks that you got 3 minutes to speak as a, as a public forum, but you can yield your time to somebody else as long as you're there when your name is called. Two people sat there for the entire day so that they could yield their time to me and give me 9 minutes to speak as opposed to three. They sat through the pickleball courts. They sat through all the
discussions. That is what real citizenship at a local level looks like and and they deserve full acclaim. They serve all the credit in the world for what they did there. And I hope that that's a a road map for for future ordinances around the country, certainly around the state of Florida.
I think that's justified. Don't want to cut you short on this one, Garrett, but I want to get to to the main problem, the main issue here, which is why we've entitled the show Mad World Mutually Assured Destruction. Can we queue up the final video here, Ryan? Video #5 sort of set the stage for what this concept is and then maybe let the combat veteran get into it. Go ahead and roll video 5. What's it doing? It's learning. Greetings, Professor Falcon.
Hello Joshua, strange game. The only winning move is not today. How about? A nice game of chess. The only winning move is not to play from the 1983 classic. War games, man, haven't seen that in a while. I need to watch that one. I've missed that movie, Mutually Assured Destruction. That's sort of the theme of that movie. And that's sort of a theme of a column that I put out this week
at underuncoverdc.com. Our friend Tracy Beans was gracious enough to publish it. And I think it is an apropos military concept that needs to be brought into the political sphere to baby right the ship and restore balance here. Can you explain one mutually assured destruction and then to what seizing the initiative really is, Gary? Yeah, so mutually assured destruction is when both sides agree to play the game and both sides know if they do, they're
both going to be destroyed. And I mean, there, there are whole college level courses that that get into this a lot deeper at places like West Point and Citadel and you know, your other various military academies. But that that's the Reader's Digest version. And sometimes in war, that's the road that that countries or units will go down. I mean, it's rare, but that there are times. It's rational deterrence. You have that weapon. I had that weapon a few years, years.
I'll use mine. So let's not play this game. Let's play chess instead. And would you agree that we're sort of, we've been in that position for a while, but now the first launch has been initiated by the left and they've indicted a former president for different occasions. And as a result of that, the Republican side has not restored balance. They've not had a second straight. They certainly have the capability and I'd argue they do. And as a result, they have lost
the initiative. And can you get briefly into, I mean, I've seen more movies, but you've lived through it. What is what is seizing the initiative, losing initiative, regaining the initiative? What? What does that mean? Yeah, so I mean, that's like, yeah, in in war, it's, it's a whole nother aspect. But I just, I'm thinking of sometimes, especially in Afghanistan where, well, I'll just give a I'll try to make it brief because I know we're coming up.
But we, we went to this village and to our knowledge, no, the the previous unit that had been there for a year had never been there. And we, we had been there for probably like 7-7 or eight months at this point. And we're like, hey, we should probably go to that village. So we took some radios and some other crap to give them. And as we're leaving the village, we start getting shot at. And it's like, well, that has to be coming from the village because that's where we just
came from. There's, there's no other explanation here. And so at that moment, we did not have the initiative. I mean, our backs are literally turned where we're walking, you know, 25 miles back to where we
came from and. So, you know, we take cover and start to maneuver different squads and elements around the mountainous region of Afghanistan that we were in to try to get some of that initiative back and and shoot back and fire back Thankfully, and this is a way where we had the ability to get more initiative. There were a team of Apache gunships nearby and so we were able to get some of that air support.
And then we also had some artillery that we called from our, from our forward operating base. And so it's, you know, you can, you can use other analogies too, like sports or whatever, but it's seat regaining. The initiative is when you're on your back heel and you're like, OK, we need to do something now. We need to act. We need to get the momentum back.
Yeah. And so it's always that action versus reaction type of mentality where you, you may be, you know, back on your, on your, on your back foot at first, but then as you solidify your foothold and push back, you can regain that initiative or at least fight back and have a have a fighting chance at winning. And in the grander scheme of our current political sphere, I think the, the conservative right is, is on its back heel. Or has their back turned to
that, to that village right now? Because they keep acting like there are rules and it's been shown by the left that they don't play by the rules, or they have a different rule book and they're playing an entirely different game all together right now. Correct. I think you nailed it right there. One side's playing by one set of rules, the other side is playing Calvin ball. They just make up the rules as they go along. And so I want to pull up link
number six. This is a column that I actually put over to uncoverdc.com on August 30th. It's called Mutually Assured Destruction is the Only Solution to Political Lawfare. And I get into what I believe is a way to restore balance to the force, if we, if you will. And I and I just want to direct what what really I think in, and I've been calling for this for a while.
I think in and you've seen some other more prominent conservatives that certainly call for this, that RedState attorney general, county prosecutors, district attorneys, they need to just start charging prominent Democrat politicians with crimes very much like the way the President Trump's been in charge. And that way we can say this stops when you stop and this is going to restore balance.
It'll be a rational deterrence of both sides because I think the toothpaste is out of the tube on this. But nobody's really gotten specific. So I did my own homework and I know I talked to you offline about it too. And I decided to pick my first
target. And it's tough because so many of these, these Democrat politicians, especially the the prominent ones, they only travel to blue areas or they live, or if it is a red state, they're in Austin, TX, which is you might as well be San Francisco. So I think that the the solution to that is to look what their public statements are, because those will transcend borders and boundaries, which is why I chose Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm, who tweeted out and
encouraged people to take on debt to lease an electric vehicle. So take advantage of these these these IRA benefits that got capacity, the Inflation Reduction Act, which is basically the Green New Deal. And I argued and I citing left wing sources, that debt is correlated to higher criminality. And as a result of that, she is in fact encouraging behavior that will increase statistically criminality in jurisdictions.
And I think that state's attorney general and district attorneys should find the appropriate state charge to charge her with a crime. And moreover, anybody who retweeted that, who is a prominence is part of the conspiracy. So I think that we could rope in another 18 to 19 people, very much like they did in Fulton County, and turn about his fair play. It ain't no fun when the rabbits got the gun. What do you think of that one? Oh, I love it.
And you know, when we were talking about this, it got me thinking, you know, I lately I've seen, I'm sure a lot of people have seen some of the, you know, some of the Super cuts of of Hillary Clinton and others denying election results, Al Gore. And I thought, you know, I wonder what the statute of limitations is on those or, or maybe since the videos exist in perpetuity on the Internet, we can say, hey, they clearly still hold that belief, otherwise that
video wouldn't be on the Internet and just go ahead and charge anyways because that's what the left is doing. They're saying, you know, we know this is a lot of BS, but we're going to indict because we can. And as much as I hate to say it, like because I really wish we weren't at this point, but hey, you can wish in one hand and take a giant crap in the other and see which one fills up first. And I think that I think you're right, The mutually assured destruction phase is where we
are. And hopefully, like in war games, both sides will decide like, all right, we got to get back to being serious and and not doing this tit for tat nonsense. Otherwise it it it will end in destruction. And you know, Ryan popped up Katie Gonzalez's rumble or whatever it's called, which she she makes a good point about the mugshot T-shirt and whatnot. But but also it stands out because she said, I know how it
ends. And if you have our faith and you're paying attention to what the Bible says, we do know how it ends. And whether it's Donald Trump or Joe Biden or whoever else, we have one true Lord and Savior. We can look to that to give us peace and hope. And while we're here on Earth, whatever the left and right are doing, it's all playing to his tune anyways.
Well, GOBI might have the the gift of the metaphor and the analogy, but you certainly have the way to finish and wrap things up. You did it in the congressional hearing. You did it here today. I could not have done better myself. As we close it out here, why don't you give everybody where they can find you on social media, plug the last line. Yeah, GOB, actual truth. And Twitter. And Instagram, lastline.substack.com. And then, you know, Katie mentioned she buys a lot of
T-shirts too. And I think everybody who's watching or listening should also buy some T-shirts. And you can at the the Dash suspendables.com, we've got a couple T-shirts on there that that will help support us. And starting tomorrow, I think, I forget what I said it as, but if if you check out I think Friday through Monday and use the discount code labor, LABOR ALL caps on v-suspendables.com, you'll get a 10% discount. Awesome, awesome.
Ryan, can you pull up our five star review for the day? Want to make sure we acknowledge the The Serif fans who are out there and that this is going to be from Charlie's Mom 2013? Go ahead and read one of the most important podcasts out there. Kyle Serafin, former FBI agent, brings the heat and exposes the corruption running rampant in America's top law enforcement agency.
