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 Serif. Well, hello my friends, and welcome to the Kyle Seraphin Show. Today is Wednesday. It is February 21st.
I got a little bit of housekeeping, housekeeping stuff up front #1 If you went looking for yesterday's show during the day and you couldn't find it, I apologize. I didn't watch to see that rumble somehow deleted the show. Yeah, so there's two versions right now of episode 247 and one of them is just a 2 minute intro that just says that the show is coming. I don't know where it went. I I saw it load, I saw it go into the replay mode so that it
was available to anybody. And then I started getting comments last night as I was going to bed saying that the the show was gone. And sure enough, they were correct. So I restreamed it last night. So it's underneath Replay, and if you're looking for that, you can find it that way. And I appreciate your patience. And I also like, by all means you guys can let me know. You may not know this, but you can actually directly contact me through the show at kyleserafin.com.
Again, it's just my name. You'll find that I'm pretty easy that way. I'm at Kyle Serafin on all the social media platforms and I have Open DMS. Even though I don't respond to everybody, I do have Open DMS on Twitter X and and then I'm also at Kyle Serafin on Truth. And I'm at kyleserafin.com. You guys can send me messages there. I get the wildest stuff.
Some of it is amazing. Some of it is just really loving, bringing fawning praise, which is far too gracious for me and and it makes me blush and I share it with my buddies, the the suspendables chat that we have in the background and they all go like, man, that's really intense. And then some of it is fully crazy where it's like some random Rothschild child person is trying to kill me.
And if you're listening to me right now, you know I'm talking about and Chris Ray is behind it and there's a illegal implant in my head, man, there's an awful lot of mental illness in this country. And and honestly, the Internet is one of the worst things for mental illness. It makes me sad that it's out there.
But all right, before we get too deep into that, if you guys are watching us anywhere else, if you're watching us on X, if you're watching this on YouTube, which recently blocked our episode from Monday for a 22nd piece of video, join us on Rumble. Come to rumble.com/kyle Seraphin, You're seeing it there on the screen. I need to make that less transparent, don't I? Come to rumble.com/kyleseraphin and join the live chat, which I continue to see all of you guys up first thing in the morning
and talking. And everybody always comments. All the new chatters always say this is the best chat on Rumble. So for whatever it's worth you guys, the pitch has been made and if you want to support the channel you can go to follow on the chat button underneath it, it says follow. If you click it, it'll give you a red that shows you that you can in fact subscribe to it. If you want to do that, actually let me show it. I can actually throw that on the screen right here. Check this out.
There we go. This is what it looks like if you were to go and hit the subscribe button. It just gives you the option. It shows you that you're going to get some badges. You get a red name highlight, which I just did with my friends over at amrad, and you guys can subscribe. It's 5 bucks a month. It comes directly to us. So if you guys want to support the channel, you can do so right there. OK, we'll take that down. And let's say thanks to a sponsor who keeps this thing going.
We just brought them on this month. Our newest sponsorcontingencymedical.com. In fact, my buddy Sean Whitman reached out to me yesterday. He's like, hey, what's that medical company that you deal with? Because I'm going to order up some antibiotics and be prepared. Great decision, great decision by my buddy Sean. And he was like, of course. And by the way, give me your promo code. And I'm like, it's always the
same. It's Kyle. Kyle is the promo code, contingency medical.com is where you go. Check it out. And what do you get? You get a telehealth visit with a physician in your state that's going to evaluate your medical history. It's super easy. It probably took me 5 minutes. 5 minutes tops. You type in your medical history. Anything that's significant that the doctor needs to know about your medical allergies and so on.
If you're like me, it's NNKDA. No known drug allergies if you're in the business and then they will send you one of these guys. The cost is roughly $300.00. There's a little bit of a discount with my promo code. And yeah, you've got multiple courses of antibiotics. The thing that I like most because they are a contingency based company is they give you the primary thing that you might use for an animal bite or Cellulitis or urinary tract
infection. Then they give you a secondary option of what it is. And you've got multiple courses of each type of antibiotics with the exception of azithromycin, which is kind of like AZ Pak. If you guys are familiar with the Z Pak, that's seven days of azithromycin medicine. They give you a six day supply of azithromycin in the
contingency back. They're not expensive, but what you're getting is you're getting medical support, you're getting telehealth and you are taking your medical control back into your own hands, which I absolutely love because we are being lied to constantly, whether it be by the pharmaceutical companies, whether it be by the healthcare industry, whether it be by the news media or by our government propaganda. And that's what we're going to
talk about today. Today's topics, which I've been cramming in since about 6:00 AM this morning, we're talking about repetition, propaganda and the American boogeyman, which is Russia. Now, I want you to do a little experiment. Those of you in the chat, those of you who are listening to this after the fact, you guys can do it in your head. I want you to think about the famous television show The Brady Bunch. OK, The Brady Bunch. You got it in your head.
You can picture it. This is the story. The man and lady, right. OK. Think of the first character that comes to your mind and type it in the chat. If you're sitting in there right now, I'm going to come back to it. But the first character that you can think of when you think of the Brady Bunch, who is it? Let's just see what we've got. I'm just curious. It's a little N equals just a few experiment that we're going to play and. And while we do that, let's go ahead and talk about something
that is quite serious. Quite serious. Yeah, I'm starting to see it. You guys are starting to come in with the Marsha, that's why, and you'll know why in a second here. This is a serious story. It's a sad story and it's an awful story. It is far too prominent. I I used to do a show called Roll Call, which many of you guys may know. I was doing it with my friend Alfa Luna, and it's now being done by Sal Greco, which is awesome. Those are two really good people.
They're both cops. That makes the most sense for me. A cop show about cops. But we would always read from the officer Down memorial page. You can go to Officer Down, ODMP, Officer Down, Memorial Page, odmp.org. OK. And in doing so, you will be able to see the most recent police officer, first responder who was killed in the line of
duty. And sometimes it's traffic accidents and sometimes it's a medical emergency, and often times it's adversarial action, being shot, run over, killed, whatever by some criminal subject. Most of you, by the way, are saying Marsha and a couple of you saying Jan, which, yeah, because they were, both of those were pretty clear. ODMP is a good site.
I used to visit it every single day when I was at the FBI Academy. And they update sort of the sacrifice that our law enforcement officers have to make. And this is all going to actually stream together with the Russia boogeyman thing. You guys will see in a second we're being fed this narrative. This is an incredibly sad story. And I wanted to just pay homage to these, these gentlemen who gave their lives trying to protect what turned out to be a young girl and a mother who made
a phone call, a 911 call. And they did what you hope would happen when you call 911 as someone is in the middle of a sexual assault of your child and you're a female and you're smaller. So this is coming out of KARE 11, local news gunman identified in the shooting of Burnsville first responders. And it says that he was prohibited from possessing guns in 2020.
Shannon Gooden, This is the guy who actually is now dead, who instigated this and killed three first responders, all three young men who I'm going to tell you are legitimate heroes. They are the people that answered the call for their community. And as we are reminded, anyone who's willing to lay down their life for their friend and their neighbor, that's the highest form of love and service. I think we can all pretty much agree on that.
I'm going to read the story because I wanted to get into it. Then we're going to get into the spin on it, which is not nothing. And then I will press on. Multiple law enforcement sources and the next door neighbors on Monday revealed the identity of the man who killed 2 police officers and an EMT. My understanding is that he wasn't just an EMT, he was a paramedic, which makes a big difference to those of us that are in the field.
Paramedic who was also SWAT qualified so that he could serve alongside SWAT teams. He volunteered for a much more hazardous duty to be able to be on the armed responses. For those of you that are not familiar, and this is worth just a little breakaway, most EMS services will not go into a hot zone or even a warm zone where there is still active violence. In fact, that's part of the basic training that you get when you go through as a paramedic or as you go through as an EMT.
You learn the first priority is scene safety. That means safety for you and your team, and you won't go in there if it'll expose you and your team to harm or violence. That's not terrible, by the way. It's not a terrible bit of training. It actually is good at self preservation and you want to make sure the people who are capable of dealing with violence are there, but very few.
They're starting to get this this thing that's called Rescue Task Force. It's been moving along for about the last five to eight years or so. Maybe a little longer, I can be corrected on that.
But there's a concept that you would actually embed non tactical medics who understand how tactics work and they get into the the stack, the column of officers that are going to go in with guns and Shields and whatever else and address violence so that they can be the first people and they can cut the time of response to the victims that are on the ground potentially. Now a lot of this comes out of stuff like what we saw the Pulse nightclub shooting.
There were 40-9 people that died that day. And one of the things that I learned as I did the after action with trauma surgeons who debriefed and went through the the post mortems of all the people that died, a lot of those people, like 7 of the 49, that's a very high percentage of people could have been saved simply by moving them off the wall. And I've covered this on a show a long time ago, but we have a lot, much bigger audience now. It's worth talking about.
Those individuals literally shrunk down in fear. And they did. As we talked about the other day, there's fight, flight and freeze. They did what was called the freeze instinct. This is still an overreaction. It's an amygdala hijack. Just remember that in your head where your body gets taken over by the limbic system and the sympathetic nervous response is failure. It just goes into what we would call the black, where you are no longer able to process any
threats or any decision making. And so you just freeze. And these people froze in a place that actually obstructed their own airway. Then they passed out from the shock and the trauma of what had happened to them. But they didn't die from bleeding out. They actually died from positional asphyxiation, which is to say they actually suffocated themselves by keeping their head low and their body small, trying to avoid gunfire. And by going in with medics with the a SWAT team that is doing an
immediate response. You could literally pull these people off the wall. You could pull them off the wall, put them in the recovery position. And that alone would have saved their lives. Seven lives of the 49, with no medical intervention, just physical movement. It's worth knowing that that's real. And so kudos to this department in Minnesota, which is called Burnsville. And a little kind of personal note, one of my buddies is a he's a trainer, He's been on the show.
His name is Peter Johnson, and we'll have him on again soon. Peter Johnson actually used to work for this agency. He reached out to me right away and they knew within a few minutes that that this everything about the shooter that you are now hearing reported days later, which is a shame. It was actually reported immediately to folks who knew and they had the opportunity to do it. OK, so the medical examiner has confirmed the identity of Gooden.
That's the guy who died. He got died to a gunshot to the head. He killed himself. It was a suicide. Like so many of these people, the reason why you rush into an active shooter scenario is because when confronted by armed men, and it is primarily men, that's all I'm going to say. Like, yes, there are some women in law enforcement, of course, but overwhelmingly SWAT teams and responses to this are men. And when they rush in, the first thing that happens is subjects do one of two things.
They're either killed in a standing gunfight by superior capabilities and training, or they kill themselves, which is most likely, and that's what the folks who are cowards will always do. Now, the interesting piece about the story is that the 38 year old was prohibited from professing A firearm. He had a second degree felony in 2008, which was an assault with a deadly weapon on which he was
convicted. These are the kind of people there are very few people that I don't think should have gun rights in this country. But if you choose to abuse that tool in a crime of violence, it's one of the few that I actually support the removal of that particular right. OK, if you're a white collar criminal, I think you should have your gun rights restored. In 2019, eleven years after that conviction, he went and petitioned the court to restore his firearm rights. He said.
I would like to be able to protect not only myself but my family as well. I completed an anger management course as well as a parenting course. Now the story that I've heard, and I've not been able to substantiate this anywhere else, that this man was actually involved in an active physical sexual assault against a 14 year old girl who was not his own. It was the the daughter of the woman that he was living with or married too hard to say. And so was actually attacking a child.
And that's what the 911 call resulted in. We've got a little bit of video clips of the local news trying to make sense of something that many of you will easily be able to understand. I'm going to play this for you real quick because I want you to understand this is always the pivot. It's like, oh, our gun laws didn't work. Maybe we need more laws. Listen to this local news coverage real quick.
In the aftermath of the shooting, one of the biggest questions for investigators is how did the gunman get all those weapons used to kill the three first responders? Kara Levin's Lou Ree Goose joins us with the latest on the investigation. Lou Shannon Gooden was banned from having guns because of an assault conviction and a judge denied his appeal to have his firearm rights restored. So the question remains, who helped him stock his arsenal used on 1st responders early Sunday morning?
I will say there were multiple firearms recovered from inside of the residence. The Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension is investigating how 38 year old Shannon Gooden was able to obtain multiple guns, rifles and handguns, as well as a lot of ammunition to use to kill two Burnsville police officers and a paramedic. Gooden, seen here on a Facebook video shooting an air rifle, was barred from possessing firearms after a 2007 felony assault conviction.
After finishing probation, the charge was lowered to a misdemeanor, but the judge still specified he could not possess guns in 2020. Gooden appealed to have his gun rights restored and included character references from three friends, including his girlfriend and mother of two of his kids, whose sources tell CARE 11 News was the one who called 911 early Sunday morning to report child abuse.
In her letter, she wrote. Family is everything to him and that's why these rights are so meaningful to him. The judge denied the appeal. It was very scary being with him. Gooden's ex-girlfriend and mother of three of his children, Naomi Torres, says she had no idea Gooden had those weapons. I found out about the guns yesterday. Court documents say Gooden was trying to force Torres to pay him more child support for their three kids, despite the fact he made well over $100,000 as an
auto painter. In a hearing today, the judge dismissed the case because of Gooden's death, giving Torres full custody. I've been in contact with the woman who called 911. She had two kids with Gooden. She's not ready to talk yet, but she said she and her kids are safe with family members right now. All right. So there you go. So what are we hearing? A couple things. Number one, they have no idea how the gun laws failed to keep
somebody from buying guns. It's almost as if somebody that's willing to do something violent with a firearm and someone that's willing to break laws is also willing to break other laws. It turns out that it makes perfect sense that these things are not the problem. Now, one of the issues is, and this is something that I found almost immediately when I went online, the responses to this particular situation is this. I think this is also a problem.
Now there's a lot of things that are being repeated. Many of you know the name Marsha as the 1st and the most top of mind aware Brady Bunch character because that is one of the famous repetitive phrases that comes from that show. Marsha, Marsha, Marsha. It's repeated three times. There are memes, there are gifts. You can find it online. It is all over the place if you
type. In fact, some drag queen actually decided to name himself Marsha, Marsha, Marsha simply because of the name recognition that that pattern has. Now what you're seeing on the screen right now, something I pulled off Twitter. It's a it's a course that is draft. I actually validated some of the stuff that the population densities are correct and I think the homicide numbers are as well.
They've they've amalgamated some of them, 'cause they don't break it out in the Uniform Crime Report in this way. But this is from the 2022 Minnesota Uniform Crime Report. These are the things that get reported to the FBI and what you're seeing are homicides in 2022 for the entire state and they break it down by population.
This is a correlation by the way this is not causation but it is often misconstrued to act like this is a cause and what you're seeing on the top line are 72% of the homicides and the population versus population set of blacks is 3 point 6.4 rather I actually did the the the poll for the most recent version of it and it's like 6.6. So it's that's that's actually
correct. Black citizens of or black citizens and and and counted people in the population in Minnesota constitute little bit less than 7% and then the rest of it obviously is about 93%. The number of total homicides they're talking about the offenders, known offenders 72% are black, 28% are white, Hispanic, Asian, Native American, everything else that you list race wise.
But the real problem here that I have with that statistic is that we're actually just taking 2 semi related things like, oh, like our gun laws didn't work, let's have more gun laws. It's equally weak thinking to say that 6.6% of the population or 6.4% of the population is, is responsible for 3/4 of the murders. That may be true, but it's a very, very small fraction of that 6.6%. But we are constantly being told two things. There's two things that are being told one side or the
other. On the conservative side, I hear this all the time. It's like a very, very small fraction of the population is responsible for the bulk of violent crimes and murders. What they leave out in context, which is incredibly important, is it's an incredibly small subset of that 6.6%, and the number one victim of those people are people who look like them. It is not a black on white genocide that is happening. They're not black people stalking down and killing white
people. But then the other side of the coin is that you also hear a lot of this academic nonsense where you actually encourage that sort of violence. So people are hearing things that they want to hear. It's important, but it's a propaganda message. I've got a couple of little videos here that I want to play from you. They're atrocious.
They represent a fringe minority, but they have the loudest voices because they sound really good and they do something that triggers a fear instinct in your brain to think illogically. If you were to logically think about it, there are a couple of competing facts. Like I said, the number one thing is, is that you are most likely to experience some sort of physical violence from people that you already know, that you already live around.
And the odds are, as Steve and I talked about, Steve friend and I talked about the other day, they probably look like you, they think like you, they sound like you. They probably vote like you because they live where you live because that's who has proximity to you. The number of sharks, lone wolf predators, that are going to sneak into a community and commit a random act of violence against someone that is not like you is very, very small.
However, we have this media kind of March of this kind of, and I'm going to call it propaganda because even though these people are horrific, they're incredibly rare and they also are generally speaking impotent when it comes to actually doing this. But listen to this clip. This is from AC Span Book Review in 2005. I'll give you a little context on this guy in just one second. And the one idea is how we are going to exterminate white people.
Because that, in my estimation, is the only conclusion I have come to. We have to exterminate white people off of the face of the planet to solve this problem. Now, I don't care whether you clap or not, but I'm saying to you that we need to solve this problem because they are going to kill us and I will leave on that. So we have to just set up our own system. And stop playing and get very serious and not be diverted all.
Right. So that Guy Cambone, he actually died in December of this year of last year, rather so recently diseased. He died and he wanted people to attend his funeral. Apparently his family did. And you're not allowed to wear white. So that's a racist. That's a person that is racist, that that has lived a racist life. The problem is, is that the other side of the coin is that people are willing to highlight crappy and ridiculous voices like this. That person is a fringe.
I've never met anyone like that in my entire life, not even close. And the only people that I have met that were in that sort of even close to that category, that were even, like I say adjacent to that category were radicalized by stupid thoughts like this. The other side is that some of you are going to hear this guy and you're going to say, Oh yeah, I've read all these articles too. Why have you read them?
They're fringe, academic garbage, and yet and they all kind of focused at the same time, right when Donald Trump was coming into office. Most of these are 2016 to 2018. I I looked these pieces up for you guys, but listen to this little piece that I found. It's kind of like a amalgamation clip on Twitter. Equally garbage. Equally bullshit as well. CNN professor asks when is it OK to kill whites? New York professor says having a white nuclear family promotes white supremacy.
Professor tweets that white people should commit mass suicide. College professor says kill cops, kill all white people and kill the straights. Professor says all I want for Christmas is white genocide. Georgetown professor says all white people are racist. Trinity College professor calls white people inhuman. Let them fucking die. College professor says believing in hard work is a white ideology. College professor says white people are conditioned to commit
mass murder. A professor equates math with white privilege. A professor says white supremacist patriarchy is responsible for the Vegas shooting. Professors hold a white racism course at FGCU. USC professor calls for Holocaust against All white people. All right. That's about as much of that as I can tolerate. There's plenty of those headlines. Those are all like the the number in total is less than 50 total headlines about this.
It is incredibly rare to hold that ridiculous belief and many of them do it. Why? Because they're going to get publicity just like that. And the second thing is, is the more that we we discussed that sort of thing and people hear it and they think, well, that that must be the way that some people think. I want you to also take whatever you're seeing on social media and in the news and then ping it against your actual real life experience when you go to, let's say I did that yesterday, the
YMCA, all right. There are people who look in every way that go to any of your churches, of your schools, of your your workplaces. This is not the way that people actually think. It is a fringe, fringe minority and yet it's been normalized. Why? Because there's this big push to act like it's something that actually does exist. And I'm going to cover down a little bit more on the story that we were just talking about a moment ago because it's worth doing.
This is the the AP. What have they done? They said two of officers and one first responder killed at the scene. The suspects dead. They cover down. They never mentioned race. They never discussed even the names of the heroes who should be people that we are honoring today in this country that we should see our president going and calling out by name just like we should see the people in Kansas City called out.
But what what we see is a concentrated after the media to keep things quiet is that though we always wonder, are they lying to us? Is it on purpose? I think it is, but I think it's for a different reason than maybe we both assume. And then lastly, because we are going to pay a little bit of tribute to these gentlemen.
From left to right on the screen right now what you see is police officer Paul Emstrand. Elmstrand was one of the responding officers, the fire medic, firefighter, paramedic in the middle. His name is Adam Finseth and he, like I said, unarmed, but chose to to be part of this response, the sort of rescue task force. And then Matthew Rouge, I hope that is pronouncing his name. All three of these men are heroes and they are actually called out in this piece by CNN
of all folks. And so thankfully we have that. What they all try to avoid though is everybody other than the local news doesn't want to really discuss the fact that we were talking about someone who was a convicted felon that owned firearms that happened to be black. And so you have this sort of interesting narrative and I've
seen all of it discussed. The fact of the matter is, is that people who are criminals that are willing to hurt people that are near them, including it sounds like raping his own daughter or attempting to rape his own daughter. That's what the call was about. When that happens, we are dealing with a fringe minority of people who are, as Steve Friend likes to call system disruptors that no matter what you do, the system is, is something that they are going to
fight against. And the cost is 3 wonderful. I don't know anything about their personal lives other than the fact that they were willing to give their life in that job. And that is the highest calling that you can have as a man who
signs up to be a protector. That's what the badge is supposed to mean when it's not upside down, that you will use it like a shield to go in and fight against evil and doing something to your own child and needing a 911 call and having outside responders who never met you have never seen you, but they've already agreed that they will forfeit their life should that come up. Most people haven't taken that stand and thought about it. And these guys put this guy down. So he was not able.
They they were able to confront him to the point where he was no longer able to go after and have any more victims. The last piece that I will show you is that it always comes down to the same thing for the political left, which is nauseating. And that is this. The answer to something that is horrible and a sacrifice by heroes is that we need more laws. Because when you are a hammer, everything looks like a nail.
And when your job is legislation and expanding the state's power base, then everything you do is going to do that. This is a predictable response for most of us who follow this kind of thing. But this is your, your Minnesota Governor, Tim Waltz saying that we need to push the legislature to expand safe storage laws, which is to say that guns must be in, they must be in safes. This man was already prohibited
by law from having firearms. None of that's going to change any of it. None of that's going to do anything whatsoever. Luckily, this article also this is from the local CBS paper, actually calls out those three heroes that we talked about, Matthew, Paul and Adam, for the work that they did and they also name the individual not by race, but they named him Shannon Gooden. There are actually videos of him talking about how he wanted to pretend like he was shooting at white people.
That video that you saw in the black and white with him raising the air rifle was in fact him saying some horrific things about how I'm going to pretend like I'm shooting white people. By the way, he's joined by his friend who is a white kid or white young man. Really bizarre, really strange and disordered behavior, but not representative of anybody except himself. He represents himself and one criminal who chose to do something evil.
We're going to push on to this because this is all going to actually relate in the end. I want to say thanks to my friends over at for Patriots. You guys know how to get there. It's the number four, the word patriots.com/kyle. Or you can just go to forpatriots.com and use promo code Kyle at checkout. This is a an interesting time, 2024, there's no question about it, that we are going to be facing potential food shortages, that we are going to be facing
interruptions to the status quo. And we are obviously already in the middle of this information war. We hope that the information war does not become a kinetic war. But if it does, one of the things that you know is that an army must travel on its stomach. And you as a one man army who defends your home or as a one woman army who is in charge of a
household. You know that if you have calories, you are going to be in better shape to be able to do all the things that you need to do, to be able to think, to be able to make good decisions, to be able to reflect on what it is that you are getting and what sort of garbage needs to be thrown out. And in order to do that you need to have those calories stored. So get yourself in a place of less fear by hedging against the uncertainty with emergency food,
maybe some emergency power. Go to four, the number four patriots.com, again, fourpatriots.com. And the promo code is Kyle. Now, one of the things you'll notice too, because we do advertising on the show, do we not? We advertise for a couple of our sponsors. The people that support it is we talk about repetition. That's the other thing. The Marsha, Marsha, Marsha, the Russia, Russia, Russia. All of these things will come back to play in just a little
bit. I am going to follow up on that. But I want you to remember repetition is important in marketing. In fact, when I used to sell airtime for radio station, my marketing manager would come down and he was like, look, you can basically get and I've done classes on this. Anybody who's ever been in sales knows this. You can basically motivate one type of person to do 1 action at one place. That's what you're going to be able to get.
And that's why whenever you listen to a radio broadcast and they say call 1800, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Call one the worst ones or they'll say call 1800, you know, just for men. And then they'll have you'll visit justformen.com or e-mail us at justformen@gmail.com or whatever. That is nonsense. Whatever they do, if they give you 3 messages and they don't repeat the one, you won't remember it, just like you can remember. Oh, it's contingency medical.
Oh, it's for patriots. Oh, the promo code is always Kyle. There's a reason why we do that, because that's the way our brains are programmed to remember things that are repeated. And not only that, but there's actually a psychological side of shortcut to making us believe that those things are true. And we're going to get there, I promise you. I want to talk about the Russia piece. We've got some, Some really. Let's start off with a little simple piece from from our friend.
And by that I mean that facetiously. Adam Schiff, who is one of the worst. And then we're going to get in sort of the deepness. This is a collage, sort of a montage, if you will, of Adam Schiff being a despicable, dirty liar. But he's saying something over and over again with no facts, no facts whatsoever. And it turns out everything he's
saying is false. And yet, there's a significant portion of the population, which we will show you a little bit too, who believe that what he said is obviously true. Why He was in a media that media format that they believe has some authority. There are plenty of these sort of boomer types out there that think if it's on TV, it must be true because there's standards, right? They must be vetted. It turns out that's not true. They can say anything they want as long as it's not
inflammatory, like offensive. Listen to listen to this guy. The Russians offered help, which we know they did. The campaign accepted help, which we know they did. The Russians then delivered help, which we know they did. There is circumstantial evidence of collusion. The case is more than that, and I can't go into the particulars, but there is more than circumstantial evidence now.
So you've said on more than one occasion that you've seen ample evidence of the Trump campaign's Russia collusion. Last March, you said you had more than circumstantial evidence of treasonous collusion with Russia. I've certainly, certainly said that there's ample evidence of collusion. Can you agree that there has been no evidence of collusion, coordination or conspiracy that has been presented thus far between the Trump campaign and Russia? No, I don't agree with that at
all. I think there's plenty of evidence of collusion or conspiracy. But we do know this. The Russians offered help. The campaign accepted help. The Russians gave help, and the president made full use of that help. And that is pretty damning, reviewing the evidence that I. All right. Russia help, Russia help. Russia help. Did you hear that device that he was using? It's very, it's very capable of of transmitting a simple message. Russia help Trump. Russia help Trump.
He said it over and over again. He kept saying Russia. He kept saying collusion. These are words that are repeated. You guys saw it earlier this week. We talked about the word gratuitous. Well, it's gratuitous. It's gratuitous. It's gratuitous. How do they come up with this idea? Because when you repeat something, forget about repeating the lie. Repeat any information, it becomes much harder to dislodge in the human brain.
What I'm showing you on the screen right now is an article that comes out of USA TODAY, which is kind of like one of these, like milk, toasty, kind of garbagey, left wing. You know, they used to be a newspaper. That used to be they would bump up their subscription numbers or their their distribution numbers by giving them out free to everybody that went to a hotel. Some of you remember that.
I actually have this, like very, this very clear memory of seeing AUSA Today on the ground of the floor of a hotel that my family and I had gone to it like in the 90s. And it said the mob is dead. It was a big headline, OK? And the mob is dead is something that stayed in my head. But of course there's a mob. There's still a mob. It's just interesting. I just remember seeing that. And it was like USA TODAY was that sort of they they sound authoritative. They have the words USA.
It's happening right now. In any case, what you're seeing is President Biden's going to hit Russia with major sanctions in response to the death of Navalny. We talked about Navalny the other day. He's claimed Putin is responsible. Is he, though? Is that, is there any evidence or do we just going to say it because you're actually going to hear it from Mika Brzezinski later on. Same story. Putin is responsible. I mean, maybe he is, but she doesn't know that.
She's not able to confirm it. I'm fairly confident that Joe Biden can't either. Something that happened in a Russian prison north of the Arctic Circle is probably not something that the US President is able to confirm in short notice without like an awful lot. Unless they know for a fact that he didn't do it and something else happened there. That's also a possibility. What you're seeing on the screen though?
Warnings and insurance and uk.gov or gov.uk rather foreign travel advice for Russia the the the Ministry for whatever it is. The the version of the State Department that the the UK has says they advise against all travel to Russia. They've got warnings and insurance. They've got entry requirements self safety and so on and so forth. The best for me is that it says advise against all travel and they just highlighted all of Russia and red it's the it's the no go zone.
It's the danger zone. By the way Ukraine is not listed in that warning. For whatever it's worth, if you're looking at the map on here, you're seeing that the the UK's foreign whatever Foreign Office is allowing and saying no problem for people to be able to travel to Ukraine or Poland or Belarus or any of this or Finland. But anywhere, anywhere, literally anywhere.
Even the parts that border China or Mongolia or Kazakhstan or anything else, any of those parts are no go zones if it's in Russia. And one of the latest updates that they have most recently updated on 15 February 2024, but the most recent update and tiny print appear on the screen that you're seeing is information on legislative restrictions which restrict or target the LGBT, the LGBT plus community in Russia under their safety and security page.
So that's that's the the real dangerous thing. If you want to visit Russia and you are a member of this diverse coalition of lesbians, bisexuals, gays or transgender people or the plus, whatever that is, then you must be concerned. And so I don't know what fraction of the population is concerned about the sort of thing or if they just don't want to go there because of Russian policies. Very, very interesting to me that that's the scare tactic that they've got out there.
Let's store some other ones on the screen because there's a bunch. These come from U.S. news and World Report, also very authoritative and sounding. Another is an Israeli paper and they have the same story. You guys heard this earlier, the explainer nukes in space, Nukes in space. What have Russia and the United States said about nukes in space? And their source is Reuters, which is also lefty. OK, And what do they say about nukes in space?
They basically are going to go on to talk about their unidentified sources, meaning nobody in the US saying that Russia has developed space based anti satellite nuclear weapons. Didn't we talk about this under Reagan? Wasn't that like a discussion about Reagan space based weapons, Star Wars? But Vladimir Putin said he opposes nuclear weapons in space and Moscow has flatly denied the US assertions. That being said, we can't trust The Dirty Russians, right? That's the way that this works.
When you have a boogeyman, you can say anything you want about them. And the worst thing is always assumed to be true. Now they ask these questions, which is always good journalism. Who said what, when and what would such a weapon mean? And what does the US say about it? Because obviously the US is the authority. We're the good guys. Remember, we have to be the US now. Now, the entire United States apparently believes this based on the statement the US believes Russia's developing.
I mean, no. Apparently unnamed sources that we don't even have the ability to to determine who they are, is developing space based anti satellite nuclear weapon technology whose detonations could disrupt everything from military comms to phone based ride services. Oh shoot, your Uber would be interrupted by these Russian nukes in space. I mean this is all fear porn. It doesn't mean that the capabilities don't exist. It means that why are we writing about them now?
This goes back to like that that that movie Goldeneye, which was from when, like when I was a kid, they made a video game out of it. This goes back into probably in the little, like mid and late 80s as far as like sort of the the scare tactics of this concept. So why today? Because Russia's our boogeyman and we got to give all these different reasons why they're ever so scary. There's no question in my mind that's the push. Here's another one.
This one is coming from PBS government funded, PBS NewsHour. And what do they say? They're saying that in fact, the United States not giving money to Ukraine. The fact that they're Americans who believe that America should handle America's problems first. The America First crowd is actually showing a softening stance on Russia. And everybody knows if you're aligned with Russia, then you're very, very, very bad. You're a bad person because Russia, Russia, Russia, Right. Repeat it.
And then you've got literally a quote in there coming from Ron Johnson saying I don't like this reality. Vladimir Putin is an evil war criminal, but Vladimir Putin
will not lose this war. And so that's often stand saying the reality which is that Russia has far superior capabilities than Ukraine if there are not foreign boots on the ground if we don't put soldiers there which I'm obviously seems to be the push that is going on. This is a softened stance on Russia and that's happened ever since. Who is it Oh yeah Donald Trump. So I got a little video here.
This is because Kamala Harris recently visited Russia I'm sorry visited Germany and this is a woman wearing a hijab telling us that you know the Europeans are really really concerned about Donald Trump and you know that the Europeans are a good standard too. I mean, if the Europeans say it, then we should probably believe it. Because why? Because the United States funds their their their military support and and funds most of
NATO. I don't know. But this lady apparently thinks that we should listen to her because the Europeans are concerned. And that's why Donald Trump is ever so bad. He's scaring our allies, which we, you know, depend on for having allies apparently. Anyway, here's a little quick video. There certainly will be a lot of eyes on her in Munich, both I think in terms of the the international platform, big foreign policy speech she'll be giving, but also in terms of private meetings.
What I will say is that, you know, I've travelled with her on a number of other trips and she is generally well received in international venues. You know, one thing I will say is that I hear a lot. I know Republicans are trying to focus on the president's age. Donald Trump is no spring chicken himself, just a few years younger than than President Biden. But the number one thing I've heard from folks that Europe is very, very rattled by the
comments that Trump made. And so to them, the question of age no doubt important. But the question of having a reliable partner who is not going to say yes, let Russia potentially attack an ally, is paramount to them. They just don't know that they have a trustworthy friend in the United States. And you know, as as a former German ambassador told me, they are very, very worried and watching closely what happens here in American politics in November. They're so worried.
And so therefore we should do what the the what the Europeans think, what the German ambassador thinks is that's how we should do, that's how we should vote. I guess if that is an authoritative source to you, then maybe that means something to you, the idea of being part of the community of nations or being an international, you know, citizen, if that's important, if that's more important to you than being an American, then sure, then you
should do that. The Dan Goldman who is decidedly hateable and has one of the more punchable faces in Congress who personally I have a a vendetta against simply because he was a piece of garbage to my friends when they testified. He's a moron, but he's drawing this very straight, simple parallel If you are a if you are Republican, then you're doing the work of Russia because you're so stupid.
You would obviously be investigating our, our rightful president who is beyond any questions who can't be discussed. Because he obviously did nothing wrong. There's no evidence of him doing anything wrong. Just imagine that nonsense if you believe it. And here we go, as you ready Dan
Goldman? Not only is there no evidence of any wrongdoing by President Biden, but it now appears as if the House Republican majority is being used by Russia to interfere in the 2024 election on behalf of Donald Trump. If they continue with this investigation, they are simply doing the work of Vladimir Putin to help Donald Trump win an election in November. That's where we are, Donald.
That's where we are. We are at a place where Dan Goldman is saying that if you support Donald Trump, then you are supporting Russia, and Russia is very, very bad, and everyone knows that. You have to understand that Russia is bad, and as long as you do, then you will know that you are bad and you are pro Russia and pro Putin. If you like Donald Trump, repeat, repeat, repeat. Here's Joe Biden doing it. Time and again, Republicans show they're a party of chaos and disunion.
This is not your father's Republican Party. They shout about a problem, but then do nothing to solve the problem. The bottom line is Republicans have to decide who did they serve. This I'm not. This is not hyperbole. Who did they serve, Donald Trump or the American people? And there it is. And one of you in the chat, Bizarro, just called it out. Spot on. What about China? Yeah, what about China, the country that is legitimately our biggest geopolitical foe?
What about the actual country that is infiltrating with hundreds of thousands of students on student visas that are involved in all kinds of things called technology transfer, which is a stealing our stuff and reverse engineering it. Copyright infringement, IP, intellectual property infringement, capable of of doing absolutely, you know, like catastrophic damage to our infrastructure because they've been out there scouting it out and finding our weaknesses. Do you know how weird it would
be? Imagine this. Imagine a delegation of Russian scientists and politicians came and they wanted to go and run around in your community and they wanted to go see your water treatment plant. And they wanted to see the electrical power grid and they wanted to see your garbage and your waste disposal. They wanted to see your telecom. They wanted to take a visit and see the the public safety buildings that show where your 911 dispatch is and how you guys actually handle your law
enforcement communications. Do you think that that would get favorably looked upon? Would people go, oh, well, they're a bunch of Russians. They just want to come and see our stuff like, yeah, of course, Glasnoes, perestroika, openness, let's show them all that stuff. You think that would happen? Every one of those things that I just described happens not just in the United States at large, which it does.
It happens right outside the nation's capital, in the counties that feed and and house the majority of the federal government's workforce. The Chinese have done that. They have send in delegations that go and do observations, open source recording and looking into every single thing that makes the society all around the Northern Virginia and the the Maryland that what they call the DMV, the DC, the Maryland, Virginia area. They've all done this, no
questions asked. And when I brought it up to those people because that was part of my job when I used to work counterintelligence, when I brought it up like hey, why on earth are you showing our biggest geopolitical foe and a legitimate threatening nation. Why are you showing them all of our stuff, our infrastructure? Why are you giving them access to our our GIS information, our our mapping. Why are you showing them how all of our things work? And they're like, oh, I don't know.
I was like, did we get any benefit out of it? As a taxpayer, I want to know, as an FBI agent, I'm really curious. But as a taxpayer, are we getting any benefit from sending Chinese delegations? And they're like, well, they've offered to let us come out that way and see their stuff. And have you done it?
And if you had embedded members of the US State Department or embedded members of the the CIA or recruits from the CIA to go do that, Have you, have you had intelligence assets that have been infiltrated and gone over and look at Chinese infrastructure, too? Oh, you haven't. You never done that ever. There's no possibility that there's going to be any benefit to the American taxpayers that live in your county. None. We give it away. But Russia. Russia. Russia, right.
Just imagine you will absolutely and have no problem allowing just a a crapload of Chinese scientists and recruited state assets rolling around through your infrastructure. You will not ever see that happening with Russians because we've I we've got this Cold War mentality we talked about the other day. It never really ended.
There are a lot of people in power that still look at Russia as our biggest foe, despite the fact that it is radically changed, probably for the better, you know, compared to the Soviet Union. I don't want to live there. They're not my friends, but I'm not scared of them, not in the same way that I worry about China. Why? Because I can realistically look at the threat and I can see how dangerous that really looks like. It's not good.
So all of those things to be say, how about we end up with a sort of the best piece of propaganda here, And that's what we're really talking about. We're talking about propaganda repetition. Let's do this one. Donald Trump continues to make the death of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny about himself, but not about the man who killed him. Not not about Vladimir Putin. He refuses still to condemn Vladimir Putin, who poisoned him
once and and it didn't work. And finally he killed him. In a recorded town hall that aired on Fox News last night, Trump was asked about the money he now owes after being found liable for massive fraud in New York State, and he said that was a quote form of Navalny. Trump did call the opposition leader quote very brave while answering a separate question, but again failed to condemn Russian President Vladimir Putin, who most believed to be behind Navalny's death.
They. They actually couched that in a different way as they got into the segment. First they said he was responsible for the death, Then they said he's the guy that killed him. And then they were like who most believe. If you want your propaganda just like unvarnished, unpolished and done by the dumbest people, then you go watch Joe Scarborough on MSNBC and you watch Morning Joe. I don't understand how these
idiots. So I just said how these idiots on TV, Yeah, I don't know how they're on TV either. I don't know. Who wants to go hear that garbage, non thinking partisan mouthpieces. These people are 100% throwing out propaganda. They have to. That's their job. They might even believe it. They seem like they're pretty empty as vessels. They remind me of Derek, the Derek Zoolander movie you guys have seen.
Zoolander, like what we need is a model is a vacuous empty vessel we just pour our thoughts into. That's what the evil, whatever conglomerate of fashion industry people do in that movie. And it's the same. It's the same idea I just, I have to look at Mika Brzezinski. Looks like she's never had an original thought in her mind, and every single thought she's ever been given by somebody else seems like the best idea she's ever had. I don't know. An intellectual lightweight.
She can't even pronounce the the, the name Navalny. There's AY on the end of it. Navalny really just made it. Made it what? You wanted it because it sounds better to you, or because you don't care, or because nobody listens to anything. Like I get I get names wrong all the time, but that one's pretty easy. I'm just saying as far as Russian names go, Navalny, pretty easy. Couple little other things here of the propaganda piece. This is also kind of fun for me.
This is something that was pushed out real recently. Did you guys see it here about this? That Russia, this is how you know they're so bad, is that they actually arrested a dual Russian U.S. citizen. They went after a woman who lived in Los Angeles. Can you believe it? Are you outraged? If you have pearls, will you please clutch them for me? All of you. The FSB in the central year, old city of whatever. Yeah, Kitterenberg.
They said that it quote, UN quote, suppress the illegal activities of a 33 year old woman, a resident of Los Angeles with dual citizenship and they've taken her into custody. Well, that sounds awful. She's an American citizen and a Russian citizen, and the and the FSB arrested her. Oh. So they said that the unnamed woman was proactively collecting funds that were subsequently used to purchase tactical medical items, equipment and means of destruction and ammunition for the Ukrainian
armed forces. So wait a minute. So she's a Russian citizen and AUS citizen that's actively supporting the Ukrainian war effort, which is fighting against the country that she's a citizen of. You know what would happen if you were in the United States and you were like, I don't know, a dual Iraqi, an American citizen or a dual American and Somali citizen, and you were sending your money over to, like, groups that were actively fighting against U.S. soldiers. Yeah, that's called treason.
That's what it's called. We wouldn't do anything about it because we're weak. The Russians have no problem doing that. And I don't blame them. I I mean, just the audacity of deciding that you live in Los Angeles and you're going to fly back to Russia and raise money for Ukraine, that seems like a dumb move. If you're dumb, bad things happen to you. That's pretty universal in this country, in this world, even if you, if you do dumb things, then you will experience sort of the
the end of the dumb. And here's the last little piece that I think is quite fun because yeah, we just can't even get our our propaganda facts straight. This one is an article that came out of. Let me see which one this one was from, because there's a couple of them. Hundreds. Which one was this? This is the Russian arrest that comes from France 24, which is a decent news site. Yeah, whatever. It doesn't make a difference. So hundreds of Ukrainian troops are trying to recognize what it
what the news source. This was New York Times. That's where it comes from. Hundreds of Ukrainian troops feared captured a missing and chaotic retreat. So the Ukrainians are losing and the Russians have taken all these evil prisoners. But then at the same time, the US Department of Defense has an official coming out and saying on an official website that, hey, this is from DoD News, without US funding, Ukraine's defense will likely collapse.
It will be all over because Ukraine can't support itself. Meanwhile, Reuters is reporting that Russia lacks the ammunition production facilities to continue the the Ukraine war. So I don't know what it is. The the answer is we're getting bombarded by garbage saying that Russians can't survive this war that, you know, Ukraine is about to win. the United States government is actually telling us in no uncertain terms that without our money they're going to fall apart.
And apparently, if you don't support giving all that money over, then you're pro Russia. Or you might just be someone like me who cares about America as a number one. And the most important piece of it is, is that universally, like, if it's none of our business and it can't support its own effort even a little bit, the Russians are going to win. That's just the, like, the law of numbers. The Russians don't tend to lose conflicts that way. They just throw as much as they
need to until it's all over. All right, I've got one kind of, like, illuminating video that I found. This made me kind of a little bit happy. This is a video with Sam Harris, who is awful, Bill Maher, who is not genuine, and this woman named Catherine Mary Catherine Hamm. Now she's a CNN contributor. She's over at town hall as well and as a conservative but not a Republican per her, I think that resonates with me. We're about the same age as well.
She's a pretty intelligent, reasonable voice going on Bill Maher to just blow the minds of libs that can't get it together. So we'll play a little bit of this clip. There's it's a much longer clip if you guys want to look it up, Sam Harris, Bill Maher and Mary Catherine Hamm. But she's talking about the original sin, which is the lie of Russiagate, and they can't compute. It's worth listening to just to know that even as you try to debunk things in real time, it won't work.
The original sent from both media and the intelligence agencies and and and federal law enforcement is the Russia gate stuff. And the reason that so many in the party, and I'm here as the translator because I'm not one of them, but so many in the party accept so much of Donald Trump's behavior is because the Russia stuff was a lie. No, it wasn't. Well, it wasn't all a lie. It was not all a lie. You guys have been are you going
to do Steel dossier on me? No, no, no. Some of the steel dossier was true. Okay. You know this like we did Mueller report for three years. Yes. And Mueller never said he was innocent. And the whole time I'm like guys, I don't think he's a Russian plant. And everyone on CNN said is looking at me like I'm crazy. And at the end, we get to not much there, there. No, there was quite a bit. There was a lot there. There was collusion. We never had before. It was unprecedented that a
president would do that. He just did it in public because he's insane. You do? All right, so he's insane. But is he insane or is he evil? Which one is it? Does he not know what's going on? There's a lot more to that clip. And you guys, it's all very good. In fact, I may repost it later on today because it's just a
good, it's a good debunking. But the most important thing for me was the resistance to things that are actually true as they just show the the, the, the newspaper on there saying Mueller finds no conspiracy, there's no conspiracy, there's no collusion. Despite the fact that we heard Adam Schiff say it for years, we heard Dan Goldman say it for years, we're now seeing new reporting.
Sorry. We're seeing new reporting of old information by public and Schellenberger and so on of stuff that, you know, my friend Tracy Bean has been talking about for literally years about how this is all garbage and how Devin Nunez had debunked it. Cash Patel had debunked it. This was all garbage. But Russia, Russia, Russia is the brights talking point. That's how you know that it's
garbage. Whenever you hear Russia now, we're all prone to think it's probably nonsense and the people on the left are resistant to the actual facts of what is actually true and going on when I do, thanks to my buddies over at Patriot Coolers. And then I've got a couple of more videos here that will be kind of fun. Here it is. Patriotcoolers.com will repeat the name patriotcoolers.com. We don't even need to have a

So it's all there, Mary Catherine Hamm says it. But it's actually there, in a very unsexy sort of way, of presenting it in a hearing. The hearing came forward because we had a guy whose name was Durham.
The Durham report followed the Mueller report, and it found in more, I think, unvarnished terms. The reality, it wasn't there. Let's hear it in his own words. Mr. Durham, did you see evidence of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign in 2016? Yeah, so the American public that has been pulled this hoax for years, it was just that, a hoax. Is that correct?
Her investigation showed that there were a lot of failures in the FBI and how they did this investigation that did not disclose reveal information or evidence concerning any conspiracy or collusion between Mr. Trump and Russian authorities. Long let's sum it up, Vice President Biden and President Obama knew about it. Hillary fabricated it, the FBI orchestrated it, and the media sold it to the public and it's still out there. The question is who watches the Watchmen?
The FBI has become a praetorian guard here, protecting the nation's capital, but not the people of the United States of America. It is going to be up to us as Republicans and solely us as Republicans starting on this Judiciary Committee to get accountability to the FBI in the United States of America. So there you go. It's pretty straightforward and I think that's all debunks the garbage. And yet these people won't hear it and they're not going to be able to hear it.
They refuse to hear it on purpose. I wanted to give you guys a quick update too, because it's always nice when somebody responds from Rumble and I got an e-mail back from Rumble support, so no need to to bother them today. But this literally just came in a few minutes ago. As we went live, it said, hey Kyle, we checked with our developers and it looks like there was an issue yesterday that affected some of the live streams or VODSI don't know what that is.
The video is not recoverable by our developers, unfortunately. So if you're looking for yesterday's show again, you're going to have to go to the thing that has parenthetically replay, because I did restream it again. It's the easiest way to get it back up and that looks like it's working just fine. So anyway, thanks to Rumble for being accountable and for being quick. Look, I pay them like 10 bucks a month to be able to be on their service. You don't have to pay them anything, but I do.
And yeah, Video on demand. There you go. Somebody just said that in the chat. I appreciate that. Sr. Yeah, long and short of it is, is that they, they're responsive. So that's really great. It's nice to see a company do that. So where's all this leave us? That's the question. Where does it leave us? It leaves us right here. There's a when you go look for repetition, when you look for propaganda and you look for why that happens.
There are in fact studies on it. This is not an unstudied field. This is not a field that nobody's ever heard of before. Fact some of the some of the information I found when I was looking through there's this this social media comment about about how this reminds me of Operation Paper Clip. You know, and I was looking I was like really does it.
And then I looked and I even the even the name Operation Paper Clip, which many of you know as the way that the United States brought over Nazis into this country and they brought a bunch of Nazi scientists and they were supposed to help us, you know win World War 2 and fight against the Japanese. But then suddenly the war ends in in August of 45 and then suddenly they continue the program. And so they kept these guys over here working.
Apparently, it wasn't even called Operation Paper Clip. It was called Project Overcast. Operation Paper Clip was not a name. I don't know where the name comes from, but they said it's a misnomer. They said this is actually coming from the the National Air and Space Museum that we just got the wrong name and we all know it because it's all been said over and over again.
So this is actually coming from from the National Library of Medicine, the the National Center for Biotechnology Information, which is a good sort of thing to have our research into. And these two scientists studied what is called the effects of repetition frequency on the illusory truth effect. Illusory truth. I'm just going to read from you some of the stuff here. I put the abstract up on because it's worth looking at. Repeated information is often perceived as more truthful than
new information. Let that sink in for a second. Why do they do this thing? Because if they repeat things that are true, it'll debunk and replace the old false information. And more importantly, if you repeat information that is false, it will be harder to unroot than actual new information that is in fact truthful. Repeated information is often perceived as more truthful than new information. This finding is known as the illusory truth effect.
It's typically thought to occur because repetition increases processing fluency. As your brain takes in that information, each time it does it, it's actually assigning a value to it. And because fluency and truth are frequently correlated in the real world, people use processing fluency as a marker for truthfulness. This is a deeply interesting concept for those of us that look at propaganda and and many of us on the show. We're doing it for a living, right?
I do it for a living and you guys are doing it every morning as you listen to it. We're listening for what is true. And what we are trying to debunk is that that illusory truth effect, which is to say, the more you hear it, the more likely it is to be true. But that is human nature. It's hardwired into us. That's how gaslighting works. That's how indoctrination works. As many of you are pointing out in the chat at this exact moment, that's what a big lie is.
You repeat it and people believe it because they've heard it. Although the illusory truth effect is a robust phenomenon, almost all studies examining it have only used three or fewer
repetitions. So that's a limited way of addressing it. So in this experiment they basically repeated things between 9 and 27 times to try to figure out what was going on. And their interest was in the theoretical understanding of the illusory truth effect having on advertising, politics and the propagation of so-called fake news. Quite interesting scrolling down a little bit further, not everything we believe is true.
And then here's another good one according to a recent survey of teachers in Great Britain and the Netherlands. So those are very different looking places, although you know they're, they're not physically connected, 48% and 46% respectively. So roughly the same percentage believed falsely that people only use 10% of their brain, which led to a misconception that a little bit of brain
damage is not that important. How many of you have heard people repeat that we only use 10% of our brains? If we could just unlock the other 90%, we could move objects with our minds, right? Not true. Obviously all of our brain is being used. We're just not using all of our brain all of the time because the amount of calories it would take to fund that machine would
be too much. But our brain doesn't you that's like saying that you're only using, you're only using like 30% of your car when you're driving. Well, you're not using all the gears are you? And you're not using all the seats all the time, right.
It's just a fundamental like it's a miss framing and and we're all susceptible to it. In fact, many of you out there probably heard that for the first time are like, oh, like we, we don't use 10% of our brain maybe at any given time, but that doesn't mean we don't like there's there's plenty of you, you even know this Here's even a funnier thing.
Imagine seeing you've seen some of these color-coded brain scans where people are actually thinking and they show different parts of the brain lighting up. Do you do you believe that's because they're only using 10% of it? Like the whole brain will light up at some point in time. It's being used at different times. And what they're trying to do with all this propaganda, which is highly effective, is a concept that's known as a a Malygdala highlight. Sorry, I got to say it one more
time, Amygdala hijack. That's when your emotion takes over and you stop thinking. This is what we're trying to short circuit with this show and much of the independent media that is going on right now, they're trying to, we're trying to get away, although many people still take advantage of it. That's what a lot of the the thumbnails that you will click on. It's amygdala porn. You're like, oh, that sounds scary. Oh, oh, that confirms my bias.
Or oh, that's the thing that I feel really passionate about. I'm emotionally committed to whatever they're about to say. It's actually why Dom La Cree has been really successful on Twitter, if you're familiar with this guy. He basically says something that is false, and then he goes out and tries to prove that it's true with varying degrees of accuracy and with varying sort of ethics to it.
However, it's an incredibly effective technique to hijack the limbic system to get your body into fight, flight or fear, to play into the negative emotion and get you to to essentially not think in a in a reasonable or a rational way. I found this other little piece here. I think I have a picture of it. Yeah, this is fun. This is coming from Propaganda Critic, which is apparently a it's a new source that is looking into advertising, things like that says propagandists Right?
Which is the same as advertisers and media that are trying to get an idea across you. Propagandists use repetition to further discussion when convincing members of the in Group, the specific group that are opposing sides cannot think rationally interesting. Why would that be? Why would we want to believe that the other people can't think rationally? Because then we just don't waste our time on trying to confront. This is the entire purpose of
the 1st Amendment, by the way. We're supposed to get together and have discussions and try to suss out what is true. Oh, you heard that? That doesn't sound right. OK, well, this is what I heard if you match them up together. Was there any evidence of any of this stuff? Social media is actually one of the best ways to divide us, which is why that Mike Bence interview recently with Tucker Carlson has been so powerful for people.
When used as a tool of truth, it's incredibly capable of breaking up narratives that are given by propagandist. When used as a tool of propagandist, it is amazingly capable of siloing us off into dehumanized and foolish echo chambers where we no longer look at the other side as potentially people who can be converted. Isn't that something?
Isn't that worth knowing? If you are a white person and you think that black people are really dangerous, like, then your human experience won't show that to be the case. And if you're a black person, you think white people are out there to exterminate you, That also won't turn out to be the case. Both of those are false. Both of those help silo people away. Both of those cause racial iniquity and strife, and they were all debunked because some of us live through the 90s.
That's it. Like the 90s are enough to show you that that was nonsensical. And even in the middle of that, they played up enormous race riots that happened, places like Los Angeles, a lot of it based on false narrative. Even here, if you're looking on the screen, what you're now seeing is a a piece from the Rand Corporation. Got to love Rand talking about that. This is going back to 2016, just as Trump was about to come into
office, right? He was running against Hillary Clinton at that time, the Russian fire hose of falsehood propaganda method, why it might work and had options on how to counter it. And their big thing that they have highlighted in there is that since the incursion into Georgia in 2008, if not before then, there's been a remarkable evolution in Russia's approach to propaganda. How about United States propaganda that Russia is still big, a big, scary enemy? That's a big piece.
The Russian boogeyman is, in fact, I think, propaganda. It's not nearly as dangerous as it looks like it is, and we're using it. And the opportunity cost of paying attention to Russia is a failure to address China. The new approaches on full display during the country's 2014 annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, which we heard a little bit about in this Tucker interview about his take on why
that was. We haven't heard a lot of it since or since before that rather it continues to demonstrate support ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and Syria and the pursuit of the nefarious and long term goals of Russia's near abroad and against NATO allies. Well, that's one way of framing that thought, is it not? But the other way of saying it is, is that NATO continue to encroach in areas that Russia kind of thought was like off
limits. And wouldn't you respond the same way and just wouldn't you also want to arrest somebody that's doing material support for your actual enemy that you're engaged in a war with? Whether or not it's a just war, if you're a country and you're defending what you're allowed to do, which is, you know, fund a war effort. I guess if that's the if that's the goals of Russian nationalism, which we are not Russian. So we don't have a say in that. Why would we have any say?
Why would we demand an independent autopsy like we talked about of Novalny? And why on earth would we think that someone who was giving money to their enemy, that's the way they see it. That's the perspective they come from. She's AUS citizen who's doing something that she shouldn't do. And then she went to Russia foolishly. It's not like they came to the United States and arrested her or that we extradited her over for that. She went back there and was
arrested in a small town. Look, do dumb things. Dumb things happen to you. That seems pretty straightforward. In any case, a little taste here of an interesting lie. And what happens when you debunk them. The reason they won't let you say things that are true, just like Bill Maher was resisting it, I have a little piece here. This is a totally different
animal. But we have to believe if you're on the political left, if you're on CNN, that Donald Trump not just is pro Russia, but also that he's a big fraudster. He's really dangerous and everything he does is a fraud. And this is a really fun little exchange where you're going to see about a minute into the answer, Kevin O'Leary, who's this guy? Mr. Wonderful or was the Shark Tank guy we talked about the other day.
He's actually trying to say what he wants to say about fraud and about how real estate works, of which this woman is not an expert. That's why you invite on an expert. But pushing an expert while they're in the middle of their their discussion, it might make for good TV, and it might make your people who are, you know, dead set on one narrative believe it because you're repeating falsehoods. But, you know, God forbid new information changed the narrative a little bit.
Here we go. Wouldn't there be many companies who would not want to do business or loan money to people like yourself or investors if they know that they can get away with fraud and there's no recourse to protect them? Excuse me? What fraud? I don't this is not about Trump anymore.
When you get a developer, when you get a developer that builds a building and he says it's worth $400 million and he wants to borrow 200 million from a bank, which happens every day everywhere on earth, including every American city, every developer's an entrepreneur. They shine the light on their building and they say it's worth 400. The bank does its own due diligence, as was done in this case, because they're very good at it.
The banks are very good and they say no, it's worth 300, we're only going to loan you 150 million. That haggling has gone on for decades. That's how it works. And then in this case, even the bank that was supposedly defrauded testified and said we didn't lose anything. We want to do business with this guy again. We'd like to, but the judge said no, no, no, no, no, no. Let's penalize this developer for 355,000,000 and we're going to do that.
Let's penalize all the developers all across America. They've all done the same thing. All of them should go to jail and we should stop building buildings. That's what the message is from New York. Even the governor herself is concerned about what this looks like to investors all around the world. It's not just US, domestic. All around the world, people are talking about what happened here. You really think people want to invest money in New York after
this? How about we go somewhere else? I think there are people who would. I don't want to cut you off, but I I want to converse with you and say I it's only because I want to have a conversation with Kevin as opposed to just having you because you're a lawyer. You're a lawyer. You understand exactly what I'm talking about. I got to tell you, I'm. I'm respectable for a number of reasons, Kevin. I'm respectable for a number of reasons.
Is she respectable at all? No, She can't listen to new information. Once again, repeated information is often perceived as more truthful than new information. She's unable to take in novel information and go, that's interesting. You're an expert in this. That's why we asked you to be on. Instead, she has to try to shut him down and say, look, I don't want to cut you off. And he's like, well, you did. And she was like, yeah, but I want to have a conversation.
No, that's not how this works. That's not how bringing on, quote, UN quote experts, somebody who has a lot more expertise than you do. If you're an expert on something, then you comment on it. And if you're not and you're smart enough to stay in your own lane, then you won't get in stuff in areas where you're going to be talking about things you know. No idea, you have no concept of. And this woman is unable to take in new information because of the repeated information is
perceived as more truthful. And she's been listening to the same sources over and over and over again. I don't know why that makes for interesting TV to any of you, but that's the reason why I do the interviews the way that I always do them. That's why I let people come in and talk. If I don't agree with them, I'll push them when they're done saying it. Finish out your thought, allow yourself to bake. And here's the other reason. When she does that, there are
two things that I know are true. #1 She's unable to process the new information, which is potentially more truthful than the repeated information. And the second thing is, she has no faith or trust in her audience. None. And that's the other reason why I have no problem with someone coming in and saying something I don't agree with. I let it happen all the time. Do you know why that happened? I don't let it happen.
I participate in an interview in a way that when you hear something that you know is untrue, you will also be able to discern fact from fiction because you're aware of this amygdala hijack. You're aware of the concept of the illusory truth effect. You're aware of these concepts even if you didn't know their names. And so you don't get, you don't get taken into them. That's why we like doing this show. That's why many of you are listening here.
It's specifically because it's not valuable to try to interrupt somebody who has something to say, let them say their piece. And if it doesn't stand on its own legs, then we know where it is. Here's a little, probably 90 seconds from my buddy Mike Benz who I'm going to get back on the show at some point in the near future talking about how this concept of this is the end of democracy. This is the last time this will ever happen. We may never have an election again.
The things you're hearing about Donald Trump, it's so old. He just released this video in the last, I don't know, 2448 hours. And he's talking about The Dirty tricks that we talked about. Same thing we talked about in those chairs sitting behind me. The same thing we talked about about sort of the Pitbull, orca, Rottweiler, you know, dragon of the CIA doing evil things. You can't let it in our house.
But they're using those techniques that they've used overseas for years, perfected and honed into a perfectly weaponized way, into unbelievably capable propaganda. And it's being used now in our home front. And that is essentially that is the real existential threat. I don't mean that in a amygdala popping way.
I mean that in a if you do not allow the tool, if you're going to allow the tools that are used in statecraft overseas that we used to manipulate other countries to be manipulated against our own population, you've now weaponized our government against ourselves. Oh, kind of like we've always been talking about. That's literally the formation of the suspendables. Here we go right now, real
quick. I just saw Liz Cheney clip posted by Representative Dan Bishop, and it had her describing Trump's run for president in 2024 as potentially the last election in American history. This echoes a long line of foreign policy establishment apex predators who are all now suddenly in unison championing this framing of Trump as a dictator, as an authoritarian. This is obviously stuff they've recycled from before, but it's all sort of converging right now.
And you know, this attack on democracy, dictator, authoritarian thing, and especially this framing of it being the last election. If we don't stop it now, you have to recognize the trick here and go all the way back to the beginning. The framing techniques they're using right now are the same ones used in 1948 at the very dawn of the creation of the Central Intelligence Agency to create a predicate for dirty tricks. I'll talk about what those dirty tricks are going to be, but just
a quick history lesson here. The the CIA was created under the national 1947 National Security Act and the very first thing it did to rig an election overseas was to rig the 1948 Italian election which was the first democratic election after World War 2. You know after Mussolini had been had been gored and and suddenly Italy was torn between a Euro Atlanticist Western backed political candidate for president and a Soviet backed communist sympathetic president.
And the and the Central Intelligence Agency with support from the state Department and certain private interests and and certain interests within Italy itself ranging from the Sicilian mob who are our national security state had partnered with because they were persecuted by by Mussolini. So the so so Italian St. muscle was used as a sort of makeshift resistance movement within Italy.
We kept those networks with with the with the underground and with media institutions and propaganda institutions. We we bribed, cajoled stuffed ballot boxes. The whole the whole dirty, dirty works that you could possibly do. There's plenty more to this. Mike Benz is a great follow. If you're not following him on Twitter, I highly recommend it. Go to Mike Benz Cyber. It's at Mike. Mike Bend, Benz Cyber. Follow him. Love Mike. Just an encyclopedic knowledge. As he walked around you, you
heard him. He was just walking around on the street with a iPhone. That's his favorite thing to do. I despise doing that format. I like sitting in my chair. I like to have my thoughts. When I drive up to a drive through, I have to turn off the radio. When I used to do radio calls on surveillance, I have to turn off the radio. I can't have any additional noises. I like to focus on one thing really hard. Mike is able to do a bunch of
stuff at once. It like walk around and talk and give his rants and they're fantastic. And that one, talking about The Dirty tricks bag that the CIA,
you know, was using. Even in the late 1940s in Italy, partnering with Street Muscle, partnering with with propaganda ministers, property, you know, working with different news outlets and so on, simply to get their preferred outcome, all of those things sounds an awful like what happened in the last couple years when you saw things like, I don't know, Antifa, doing St. muscle gangs and they were out there intimidating people. And that it'll get worse.
The Clower Piven sort of effective, it'll get worse unless you make it give us enough power to be able to do what we want. All these things, they're all old tricks. They've all been used before. Whether they're being used by the same people is another argument, and I'm not here to have that with you just yet today. But what I am telling you is there's obvious evidence that these things work and that's why they're done and that's why repetition has to be done all
the time. They have to continue to repeat it because they need to get that seated in, get that illusory truth effect so that you will no longer be able to take a new information. Because once you've heard it enough, now you're going to discount novel and accurate information that debunks the previous narrative. Hence so much of the stuff. I mean, there's a million examples January 6th and and Nancy Pelosi said we have to preserve the narrative of that day.
What are they doing? Repeat, repeat, repeat, Continue to shovel it in and make sure the people are not able to assess new information at its value. Speaking of some new information, I want to say thanks to my buddies over at Catholic Vote. We're going to wrap this thing up for the day.
Catholic vote. Just today's loop leads off with an interesting story about the LGBT group demanding an apology from the Cathedral. Yeah, you heard the one that we did on Monday talking about the so-called mother of horrors, this trans atheist activist getting a a funeral at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. And we're sad for them. Of course they're now playing the victim saying that they are, they've been mocked and and that it's really sad and everybody's
really mean to them. Guys. You can follow Catholic vote and support what they do and their outstanding information, which continues to come in. My buddy Josh Mercer is the one who edits over there and does a great job. It's catholicvote.org. You can fill in your e-mail address and get the loop or you can follow them on social media. They're doing a lot much more active social media push and I I encourage you guys to do that. They they come with from a slant, but the slant is really
obvious. It's right in the name. They're Catholic. They're Christians. They care about truth, family, freedom. And and that's what we're about here as well. So check out Catholic Vote. It's at Catholic Vote or catholicvote.org. I can say those the same because it's the same name both places. catholicvote.org at Catholic Vote on Twitter. If you guys want to get a good news source that just really does put out some good information. Really appreciate that.
All right, folks, we appreciate you guys and that's why we read the five star reviews. There's been a lot of great conversation that I've been seeing kind of running through the chat. I'm able to read more of it when we got more videos. Here's a five star review from Poo Poo Sannicnic. Really. Poo Poo Send Nick. Nick. OK, says. Ah, the fresh air, five stars. Truth is invigorating. God bless KS. I'll be I'll be KS today. You know what?
The truth is invigorating. It's harder to find it, it's harder to deal with it, and it's sometimes it unroots things that we would like to believe, but that's OK. Truth is supposed to be a little bit uncomfortable. We have to lean into being wrong sometimes, and partially wrong other times. Guys follow us on rumble.com/kyle Serif, and if you're not doing so already, we really appreciate all of your support. Make sure you've hit a thumbs up.
If you listen to this point and you have not done so already, make sure you've done a thumbs up. Giving us a like and that actually does make a big difference in the way that these channels are done. The reason that I think Rubble cares when I write them an e-mail is because my channel has so many of you given the thumbs up and I'm really appreciative and grateful for you. Have a wonderful Wednesday. It is a weird one out there
today. We'll finish up this week strong, but go into your your hump day, especially those of you who are feds who have a shorter week. I hope you enjoy it. Be safe. Love your neighbors. Be nice.
