SERIOUS Problems w/ UNSERIOUS People | Ep 668

Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistle blower, an American patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI agent Kyle Seraphin. Well, hello my friends. Welcome to the Kyle Seraphin Show, today's Monday. It is October the 6th and as usual, a couple minutes behind here on a Monday morning. I hope you guys understand how

that goes. What I'm always trying to do is figure out can I cut this thing down under, I don't know, 90 minutes under 2 hours because I could just jam packed this stuff all weekend long. I'm gathering this garbage. We're just, we're living in such a wild time that I end up having conversations with friends over the weekend. And, and the question is, how are we going to get out of this? How do, how do we survive this as a nation?

And I'm more and more coming to the, the conclusion and I, I'm not really sad about it and I'm actually not really scared about it either. But I think the conclusion is, is that we are not going to survive this as a nation. I just don't know how fast it's going to decay. I had this sensation all last year and maybe some of you guys did as well that it's, we're, we're on the edge of it all just collapsing. But that doesn't mean that we just immediately run into Mad Maxville.

I, I have this conversation with my friend Sean Witzman, who's out in, in Missouri and he's unplugged from a little bit. He's out selling houses now, which is great. Like, I just, it's nice to see some of my friends that were stuck in the politics and, and paying attention to this and they've been able to go and just do something regular and deal

with regular people. But I talked to my dad, I talked to Steve Baker. I, I, I keep having these conversations with men that I respect around the country. They all have different perspectives, whether they're driving around and seeing the entire country or whether they're living in the mountains in Arizona or whether they're hanging out in Ozarkistan, as my buddy calls it. It's like, how do we come out of this tailspin? Is it recoverable? And I don't think here it is.

But the crazy thing is, is that as this federal shutdown goes off, by the way, we're on government shutdown still, those of you who didn't notice, that's actually a story we're going to cover today as as more and more people realize that, that what the hell does the federal government even do other than take a ton of our money, do a bunch of really, really awful things with it, fund programs that we would never, never vote for and never allow, And then that's it.

That that's the entirety of it. Like, what's the payoff? The payoff is our military. Our military's great, except when it's been captured for ideological purposes. We've got some stories about the argument on whether or not men and women are physically capable of doing the same sort of dangerous work. I'm just going to surprise you guys up front. We're not. How do you know that? Because all of human history has

proven this. We have not created the mech warrior suit for Lieutenant Ripley to step in and fight the Aliens better than a man, even though for both most of my life, I think Hollywood and, and all the sort of powers that be were pushing this idea that women were action heroes too. And they could be. And there's a really, really, really small number of women that can be under a really narrow set set of circumstances, overwhelming.

And that's not the case. And the reason we know that is because there's thousands of years of human history and it just doesn't happen. But it doesn't mean that women are not valuable. It just means that they're just not capable of doing that one thing. Kind of like Kyle Seraphin's not capable of dunking a basketball. I'm 5/8, I weigh too much, I'm not fast enough, my UPS are not there. I can't dunk a basketball. Doesn't mean I can't do a bunch of other things.

I can do some things better than many people can, even at 43. It's just it's so silly to not acknowledge the biological realities, but we're living in this time when we've been continually gaslit about so many things that we don't even know how to get down to it. I saw somebody comment today on the Spotify comments and they said, really, I really appreciate your podcast. You're just like a regular dude. You're like a regular person. You're a real person.

I am a real person. Yesterday, until it got dark, I did the most regular thing you can imagine. I dragged my miter saw out into the front yard 'cause I didn't want a bunch of dust in my garage, which is a real bummer. And then I cut a bunch of lumber and I built a structure to hold my son's bed up off the ground 'cause he really wanted a bunk bed and it was worth me spending an afternoon for it.

And then in a totally regular dude move, I waited until it was actually dark and I didn't finish until it was bedtime. And so I was pushing the limit right there, like so many men did a project and I didn't keep track of time. And so it's 8:15 at night, my son's supposed to be in bed, my wife is putting the bed on the floor. And then I go up there. And then I'm grumpy about it because not everybody knew what my plan was. And then I had a regular argument about something stupid

because it was my own fault. I guess I don't know what's more regular than that. OK, Those things will continue on with or without government. Those things will continue on whether the federal government of the United States is funded or not. Your neighbors will still come over and borrow your wedding tool, as I had happened.

People will still be mowing their lawns or not mowing their lawns as it goes on. We're going to continue to find out that most of the things that happen are not federal. So even though we have on this particular podcast, a, an aggressive predetermination towards looking at federal and national news, that's not where you guys live. This is almost like a curiosity. This is a this is a situational

awareness brief. I'm going to actually try to argue that that's what we do here at the Kyle Seraphin show. It is a situational awareness briefing on things that hopefully don't actually come and affect you. And if it were to all fall apart at the federal level, what would, what would you wouldn't go into Mad Max realm right away at all. I think what you guys would experience is that you would just keep on keeping on. This government was set up to be run by the states.

And if the federal government fell apart, unlike what happened in the the era of the Revolutionary War, in the War of 1812, where there was an existential external threat to the United States that could have come in and taken us apart at any moment. The Brits reinvaded and tried to take over the United States. What, 20 years into our constitutional Republic that happened and yet today who's

going to do that? The military in Texas alone would be enough to fend off almost anybody that had territorial capabilities to come in here. I think Texas could single handedly fight off Mexico right now with just the troops that live there and the armed civilians. So I just want to say that even though we we continue to highlight all these awful things and they are really awful and they're really frustrating. I don't think it goes Mad Max immediately.

It just doesn't because your power company is local and your water company is local and your gas is pumped and refined not by the federal government. Some of these, some of these roads wouldn't stick around as well. You know, they, some of these, some of these projects would not do as as well. But at the end of the day, I mean, you don't interact with the federal government all that often, as many of you are finding out in this shutdown.

So all of that is really relevant to the way that we're going to cover today's show because we have a bunch of serious problems in this country. They are not being handled by serious people. And that's I think why they continue. Before we get deep into the weeds here, which is very easy for me to do right of the way on a Monday morning, let's talk about my friends over at my Patriot Supply.

The website ismypatriotsupply.com slash Kyle. They are giving you an opportunity for a winter preparedness special. And I had not thought of this before, but now I'm aware of it. I like their their their ad read sometimes just for this. Cold weather's going to be here before you know it. Unless you live in Texas, it'll be 100° for another freaking

month. If the power goes out, it can get really cold, especially for those of you that live in places where that is. If you have no way to keep your family warm, what do you do? You could actually freeze. So my Patriot supply is selling the VESA off grid space heater right now. It's a space heater that doesn't use electricity. It runs on something called Canned Heat. It's an indoor safe fuel option. The Vista. It's an opportunity to be able

to keep yourself cold. You can also boil water in a in a pinch. You can cook food, which is also pretty cool. Best part? You can get that plus a bunch of other free gifts if you order the Winter Preparedness special for my Patriot Supply right now. Check it out at mypatriotsupply.com/kyle. Again, mypatriotsupply.com/kyle. There's a link below here. It's going to have everything included. The offer won't last. Neither will the nice fall weather. Hopefully I get white.

Nice fall weather soon. Go to mypatriotsupply.com slash Kyle today. Get yourself prepped up. What if it's cold? You know, it's a real possibility. Like I said, in Texas, we just have summer until it's the next season again. All right, let's get into today's program. Take a deep breath. This one's going to be semi heavy. I got to take some coffee and fuel up because this is beginning right now.

All right, let's just do this. Let's just talk about what I think might be one of the dumbest things that has popped up in quite a while in my lifetime. This is one of the Dumber things. This is a great a great reminder that we have legitimately serious problems in this country and truly unserious people dealing with them. This makes it so easy to take a little dunk on Cash Patel, the director of the FBI. I'm going to have a sort of light hearted.

And then I'm also going to give you some real analysis on this, what you're seeing on the screen for those of you who are just listening, going, what the hell are you talking about? Kyle? This is the challenge coin as published by Ken Delaney. And you don't have to like Ken.

It's irrelevant. This is the challenge coin that is being handed out and presented by the director of the FBI, Cash Patel. And I'm going to describe it to you because if you're listening, you should probably be listening over on Spotify right now. So you can click over to the video screen and it lists and, and, and just ingest this.

It is A2 sided coin with a Punisher skull, which would be bad enough on its own and I'm going to tell you why, but that's not enough on the front side of the coin. I'm going to call it the front. It has Cash Patel's logo for the Fight with Cash Foundation. This may actually be a violation of rule, policy or law. He's advertising. I don't. I like his nonprofit foundation from the the Office of the Directorship.

It's the letter K, a dollar sign, which is recessed, and the letter H, he skipped the vowel like our friends over at Silent Do. And inside the Punisher skull eye sockets, instead of having glowing pupils, which is kind of what the the Punisher is famous for, having these like red glowing kind of eyes. That's the icon. There are spiders. There are two spiders in the eye socket. Below the eye socket is a, a, like a, a nasal passage that's open like any other skull 'cause

that's cartilaginous. And below that, for some reason, no particular reason at all I can actually figure out, is a Spartan helmet with a very plumed headdress. And instead of the teeth of the Punisher skull, which extend down, usually there's four or five of those things. He has the barrels of revolvers which look like maybe Colt Pythons, a gun the FBI does not carry when you flip it to the back. Lest you think otherwise, this is an official FBI coin. There's very specific rule

following that that follows. If you put the FB is symbol on it and it has a full color version of the FB is official symbol and it says in words presented by the director of the FBI, Cash Patel with a Tommy gun underneath it, A gun the FBI has historically carried but doesn't anymore. It might actually go back to the root of when the FBI started becoming a problem, which was in always. Then it has a signature embossed on there. There are two numbers, looks like 6, but I don't know what

they're for. And then there's the number 9, which symbolizes that he's the 9th director of the FBI. Now, how many of you knew that they were 9 directors of the FBI? We'll go to the chat over here and just see. Did anyone know that Cash Patel was the 9th director? All of this is an argument that that this man is desperate to be a mini Donald Trump. He uses lawsuits the way that Donald Trump does. He talks the way that Donald Trump does, but not in a good

way. He's like an Indian knock off version, like a Temu Shien American IP stolen and then implemented overseas and some sort of garbage factory version of Donald Trump. And instead of having, you know, kids in a marriage, he's a single man.

He's 45. He's Donald Trump without the decades of branding, all the braggadocio, but none of the actual follow through on it. Trump can be Trump because he's Trump. People know who the president is because for some reason we keep track of that and it's become a bigger deal of, of of late to be able to use numbers like 45 and 4746 was a problem. 86 this, blah blah blah. Nobody knew that there were 9 directors of the FBI before this coin. I haven't even counted him.

I'm sure he's right, but the self congratulatory nature of this coin is so silly and it's so obnoxious and it's also really freaking dangerous because of the actual rhetoric that is going on behind this. Now people told me it's a cue thing. If that's the case, that's even Dumber. But allow me to just dig in on the Punisher skull and the Punisher the, the, the symbolism behind that skull. I went into the archives here and I found something from a from a website called Softleet.

This is special operations warriors who have now turned to fitness and they're doing fitness programs. Softleet published this staff contributor op-ed by a homicide detective. And the the title of it is, is Protectors, not Punishers, Law enforcement in the 21st century. The entirety of this story is relevant to the punisher skull.

There's a reason why more and more law enforcement agencies have been pulling this skull away from SWAT teams, away from from the the different units and, and unit challenge coins and patches. And the reason is really specific because the idea of a Punisher has nothing to do with law enforcement in the United States. The creator of the Punisher is a guy named Gary Conway. And Jerry said this, he's a Co creator, I guess. Quote to me, it's on the screen right now.

To me, it's disturbing whenever I see authority figures embracing Punisher iconography because the Punisher represents a failure of the justice system. The vigilante antihero is fundamentally a critique of the justice system, an example of social failure. And so when cops put Punisher skulls on their cars, or members of the military wear Punisher skulls or patches, they're basically siding with an enemy

of the system. Now, here at this program, we are in fact outsiders and enemies of the system. And even us, even those of us that are sitting here, we don't actually advocate for vigilantism at this point. There may be a time when that comes up, when posse justice is the only justice that we can get. We're probably not far away from that in reality. And that actually wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. That would be the way that many frontier towns handle business.

A bunch of interested citizens got together, decided what their values were, and then they enforced it at a local level. That turns out to be a pretty American concept. But the Punisher is a symbol of failure of the justice system. You now have the most powerful law enforcement figure in the United States representing that the justice system has failed and that we are going to do lawless vigilantism. Do you guys can, can you see how dangerous and stupid this is?

How foolish and role-playing LARPI this is LARP is live action role play. For those you don't know this kind of thing. This is a LARP. This is a this is a dude pretending to be a dude while acting like another dude and it's really embarrassing. This challenge coin that you're seeing again on the screen would go really hard with a 2005 non combat MOS Army G Watt enlistee, a 19 year old who has no education, who signed up for good reasons and they want to wear grunt style T-shirts when

they're off duty. They're wearing their uniform everywhere they can so that everybody thanks them for their service, even though they're not necessarily going to go into harm's way. This coin strikes right at that. O 5 early G Watt America is bad ass. Let's go kill all the bad guys. Even though I didn't sign up for a kill the bad guys job and I'm not going to experience that danger. That's what this is to me. It is a person who's never been there.

This is a man who never served in the military, Cash Patel, who never served in an armed law enforcement role. And he has adopted the most like hard, but like, stupidly jokish hard coin. And it's appropriately covered in Raw Story of all places. So I'm going to talk about this too. And this is actually a bigger problem. This is a bigger issue that there are serious issues in this country that are afoot. There are there are unsolved crimes.

There is middle management within our most powerful and quote UN quote prestigious law enforcement agency that he went in there to correct. And what is he doing? He's putting out this nonsense and handing out cigars to subordinates and asking them to sue Kyle Seraphin because I'm hurting his feelings. Action figure budget is too high. Cash Patel dismantled for tacky

new FBI coin. This is written by Sarah Burst over at Rawstory. We generally probably don't agree with what they have to say, but doesn't really matter. The FBI director has a challenge coin made displaying his name, his personal logo. Again, when you put podcast branding clowns and you make them in charge of serious jobs, it's not shocking that they don't do a serious job. Using the Marvel Punisher Insignia as the main shape of the coin, Historically, the military would hand out small

medallions. They went by several names like a military coin or a commander's coin. I'll tell you what I'm going to back away from the mic for a second here to to this one. I've got a couple challenge coins sitting on the wall behind me. You guys may not have seen this. They, they signify something. They're usually coins like they're actually the shape of coins. This is 1 I got for for graduating from combat dive school. I was actually really proud of this one.

This was a really hard school. I had a really high washout rate. So I keep it. It's a coin, it's a circle. It's got the, the, the badge, the operational badge for the Air Force dive program, combatant dive program. On the other side of it, it's got the groups of people that go there. There's basically two groups of people in the Air Force. There's the green feet for para rescue and there's the lightning

bolt for combat control. And it's got the two flashes for those two career fields first there that others may live. This is a coin that I was super proud of when I graduated from that school. I got it because of that. Here's another one that I was handed. I coordinated a walk that raised 10s of thousands. I think it was like 50 or $80,000 worth of scholarship monies, which was felt like a lot of money at the time, especially because I had no social media.

And we raised a bunch of money for scholarships for fallen warriors. And I had the first Sergeant, the first Sergeant of the Air Force, the Pentagon's first Sergeant. Sorry. Hand me this coin. It's monstrous. It's thick, it's heavy. It's still shaped like a coin. It wouldn't fit well in your wallet. On the back of it is the the command chief master Sergeant rank. There's a couple of different little operational pieces in here.

And on the front of it's, you know, some sort of warrior figure and it just says headquarters, United States Air Force Washington DCI really, really appreciated this too. That man delivered meals, hot meals to troops in Afghanistan on foot. So when they come over and hand you a challenge coin, that means something. It's pretty cool. What is Kash Patel challenged anybody to what is the challenge there?

What is he accomplished? He gave out $50,000 to FBI whistleblowers while he raised $1.3 million, and he somehow funneled close to $600,000 into the operations of his foundation, which by the way, has their logo on the coin. I don't get it. I really don't. Historically, these these challenge coins would be handed out as a way to say thank you, to acknowledge something that you did that may have been difficult.

Sometimes it's a stand in for what should have been a military award or medal, But there's no political pressure to be able to to to hand that thing out. So some men know that they were handed a coin when there should have been an award that went along with it. In the first administration, Trump issued summit coins for his meeting with Kim Jong Illinois. It drew mockery online, crashed the White House gift shop, blah, blah, blah. They're obviously critical of the Trump administration in

general, it appears. Patel, however, has used this to highlight his own leadership at the FBI, but he's only been there for a couple of months. The story goes is that he had a different coin. It was a more traditional coin. It was circular in shape. It displayed his name with a dollar sign and a fading Gadsden flag. And the new one is now this ridiculous Punisher. It's funny that the the editor in chief at National Memo said J Edgar Hoover was tacky, but this guy tops him again.

I think we could do an entire show of Haunted by Hoover. Kash Patel has haunted by the ghost of Hoover and doing the dumbest things possible. And these are unforced errors.

This goes along the same line as standing in front of a group of people and telling a devout Christian man and his family who passed away, who was murdered, that we're going to, we're going to see you in Valhalla. A Hindu guy who allegedly has some devotion to that tells a Christian evangelical, I'll see you in Valhalla. Even though neither of them were in the military, neither of them worked in a profession of arms.

I saw a guy online this weekend who said, if you come up to me and say till Valhalla and we just got out of like, oh, we're about to go into a firefight, then I get it. But if you say till Valhalla because we just happened to meet at a grocery store, I'm going to be waiting to be ambushed around every single corner. Are there dudes that are hanging out in the aisle with the canned peas that are ready to shoot me? It's a misuse of certain things and trying to adopt warrior

culture is pretty absurd. It's silliness and he should be embarrassed. The funny thing is, I don't know if it's funny or sad or pathetic or what. He's not actually embarrassed, not even a little bit. And the, the thing that I'm looking for right now is I sort of had a deal where I expose that the FBI called these symbols, including the Punisher symbol identifiers of militia violent extremists. Can I just, I'm going to see if I can send it to my my computer in real time right now.

We had a whistleblower who was a legit warrior who did really hard things for this country. And he exposed to me and to the American people through Project Veritas. Yeah, that Veritas, the one that that apparently James O'Keefe thinks it's OK to, to sue me about. They they showed this right here, OK. And what you're seeing on that screen, which some of you may recognize from years ago, this was one of the earlier whistleblower disclosures I made prior to being a public figure.

This is an this is a unclassified law enforcement sensitive militia violent extremist symbols guide. OK, and let's just zoom in on this thing real quickly as you guys can see that it's an FBI document, but let's just get to the symbols guide. Let me pop this thing up here and try to tighten up on what we're doing, because some of this stuff is truly crazy. This is what got Ted Cruz all heated up at one point. You guys remember that?

The Punisher, several varieties of the skull used by Three Percenters, huh? Warrior culture, military themes with historical and contemporary things like Spartans and Valhalla. All of these things were defined by the FBI previously to be problematic. And now we've got this doofus who actually has no, who has no, lays no claim to any of these types of cultures based on his

previous background. He's a freaking attorney from New York who somehow like also is invested in a Chinese company or, you know, he owns a big chunk of the ownership part of a Chinese company, which we, we pointed out the other day. There are real issues that this guy should be dealing with and instead he's doing nonsense like weighing whether or not the FBI is going to arrest and perp walk Jim comedy and and firing him.

I gave you I gave you a moment where I said that there was some credit where credit's due because there are parts of what this guy did that need to be done. Like he removed a person from displaying a play a pride flag while that person was on probation. And that is obviously a political statement, but it's not that impressive. How about the real issues that exist inside the Bureau? Could we talk about January 6th?

Where's the pipe bomber? I'm hearing some seriously upsetting things right now that we are going to find out a few things. This is, this is speculative in nature right now, but this is a kind of a compilation of what I have heard is coming down the pipe.

I'm told that we are going to find out in the next couple weeks that not only was the pipe bomber caught on video placing the actual bombs, but actually replace them because this person worked for one or more branches of federal government, was like part of the federal government or there are more than one person from various federal government agencies. That's not going to be a shock to you guys. It might be a shock that it's not an FBI agent.

But what I think actually happened, this is my speculation again, so fully out here on the limb saying that I think this is what went down. And I don't know how the government continues when that happened, but the odds are it will. We'll just swallow it up whole because we have unserious clown shows running the FBI.

What I think happened on January 6th more and more is that there was an inciting agency, a secret unit probably based on what I've talked to Steve Baker, it sounds like there was an inciting unit from DoD that actually caused people to react the way they did and do things that they wouldn't otherwise do. All those people that had those militia violent extremist symbols all over their hats and their jackets. And then we had a distractionary method that was put out by

another government department. We now have DoD potential involvement and we also probably have DHS involvement. And then we saw the Department of Justice go full bore with the DOJ prosecutors and the FBI to do both cover up and prosecute every single person that they could find. And he's, he being the director of the FBI is trying to act like they're super transparent today. Doing what?

Sharing information that was gathered by his agency that he's decided to to cover for and act like it means something. It doesn't. What in fact, what it was was an attempt to get more funding for that agency. And but for Donald Trump getting in, it probably would have worked. But they're not dismantling it. Let me give you a little interview that he did. There's a couple of scary things on this because we have a non

serious person running the FBI. He sat down with Armstrong Williams, who's been accused of all kinds of wild stuff by Project Veritas. I can't validate any of that stuff and their source seems real iffy to me. So I haven't, I haven't touched that story at all, but Armstrong Williams apparently owns the Baltimore Sun, sat down with Patel and asked him about January 6th. This is how that went. This is a bit of a longer clip,

but it's worth hearing. I'm going to give him all the fairness to say it in his own words, and he's going to say dumb things anyway. I. Want to come to January 6th? It is intriguing that 250 FBI plainclothe agents were inside the Capitol on January 6th. I've saw the president's tweet. They get to the bottom of it. Who placed them there? What were they doing? Were they inciting violence? What can you tell us, Mr.

Direct? This is a great example of the President's initiative to solve all the answers on January 6th, and it's another example of our transparency efforts. Pursuant to the President, we investigated the matter and found out why FBI agents were placed there in the first place. And it turns out we found documentation and witnesses and whistleblowers that said we were forced to go there to do riot control. Armstrong, do you know what the FBI does not do ever? Riot control.

We don't do that. So the prior leadership sent 250 some odd men and women into a situation they're not trained for, put them in harm's way, put the individuals out there in harm's way. And also those individuals have collectively responded or said beforehand that they were forced to go there. They didn't volunteer to do that. Can you believe? It that's their word, not mine. That's what they reported, that's what they wrote down at the time of and stated.

And we made those productions of Congress, which is the only reason you know it, because I'm the only director that's willing to work with Congress to get this information out there. And so I think we are in a better position than we have ever been in terms of transparency because of President Trump's initiative to be that way, but also to we fully investigate matters of great public importance like

January 6th. And we're going to continue on all of those matters while we execute the the mission of safeguarding this country. And if that's the thing I want people to take away the most, I'm. Going to just keep sniffing intermittently there. I I have noticed that by the way, Tim in our chat pointed out exactly he's not going to answer the question. He didn't answer the question. That was not an answer for those of you who are listening. What were they doing in the

crowd? He didn't say riot control. Yes, I think that's what they tried to go there to. But there's no evidence of FBI agents being involved in riot control. As he said, they don't do riot control. And he didn't actually clear up the fact that these people were sent there after the fact, 3:00 PM and later. He didn't answer the question at all. As I said, the theory of January 6th has always been so stupidly simplistic. The FBI set it up. They set up the bully pins and

they knocked it down. That's silly. That's not how compartmentalization works. Wouldn't you want an elite group of people that know how to keep their mouth shut, that are used to doing things in overseas areas, go and set the the movement, set the actions in motion, deniable units? That would be the way you would do that. Wouldn't you want some other group of people that were involved in a training exercise to plausibly pull resources away? That would be another way you would do it.

You wouldn't have the same people set up the conspiracy and then also prosecute the conspiracy. That would be stupid. That's not how you do things. That's not how compartmentalization works, where everybody has plausible deniability. You think you'd get a bunch of people that would go up there and, and, and willingly lie underoath? I'm not saying you couldn't find FBI agents who would lie underoath. You could definitely do that because they're human beings for sure.

But I don't think you'd get nearly as many as you think. I think there's plenty of people that wouldn't want it. He didn't answer a single question there. What he did was say, my leadership is amazing. We're super transparent. We're giving you all the information that no one's ever done before because we're fixing the problem, even though we have no evidence of fixing the problem. Donald Trump is the best because he put me in charge and that's my job.

I have to basically go every single time and talk about how he's great. And by the way, there's something in my nose. That's what I got from it. We're going to do a quick read for my friends over at Silent right now. You know what would have saved a bunch of people on January 6th? Having their their phones in a Faraday bag. I don't mean to be that say that in a light way or in a mean way, but it is true.

If you had your phone in a Faraday bag on January 6th, you probably wouldn't have had them find you in the same way. So there you go. Let's face it, your phone is a tracking device. Many people found that out on January 6th and other times, it doesn't matter if it's government agencies or big tech or corporate data brokers or even cyber criminals fighting for a piece of your digital footprint. They don't have to ask.

They simply can take it. If it's the FBI, we found out that bought it even though they're not supposed to be able to get it without a search warrant. That's why silent exists. I've got 1 sitting here on the desk right now. This is the one that is holding the phone during the show. slnt.com slash KYLESLN t.com/kyle. Use that promo code at checkout.

Save yourself 15% on a well made Faraday product that actually does what it's supposed to do. It blocks wireless signals, cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth G PS, RFID, near field communication. All these things are out there constantly looking to tell somebody where you are. If you have no signal, it means there's no tracking. That's what I use when I go on

bike rides with my kids. If I go to the pool and I just want a moment of quiet, sometimes we're sitting at the dinner table and I just need to unplug. This is a good option too. It's actually easier than having willpower to not look at your phone. We are drawn to these damn things. They build them that way. This is the same technology that's trusted by special operations and counterintelligence and intelligence operatives all over

the the globe. They use these signal blocking technologies to avoid surveillance and to secure the columns. Whatever the mission leads, If you guys need something from silence, you should check them out. They make outstanding backpacks like what you're seeing on the screen. I have two of them. I have used them for travel almost exclusively. If I can carry a backpack and not have to take a suitcase, that's what I do.

And I love this E3 everyday Faraday backpack because it has crazy amounts of space and it's really, really well laid out. And I'm a gear, I'm a gear queer. I will just tell you I am very, very discriminating in what I like. And I really like this one, including my favorite thing is the the clasp on the chest. It magnetically snaps in. So you could do it one handed, which is a really big deal when you're moving around and you realize I need to snap my backpack shut.

And also I only have one hand because my other hand is a coffee cup or I'm holding my ticket or whatever else. Drop your phone into a silent Faraday sleeve. Get off the grid, get silent and be invisible to the outside world. IA 100% back these things up. I'm going to play you another thing that's somewhat scary. Again, should we not have protectors?

Is that not the goal? I don't think they can really protect us, but their goal is to basically enforce, enforce the law and put the punishment that comes in through a judicial process. And at the end of it is that other people are supposed to be deterred from getting involved in criminality. Or we could do extradition punishment and nonsense. Here's where it gets really scary for me. He's act.

They're talking about criminality in places, but I don't think Cash understands even what the threat or the nature of the threat looks like. And so we're doing this cartoon back and forth where this goofball with these stupid challenge coins is sitting down with his American flag socks. And if you guys can't see it, he's got these really, really loud American flag socks, and he wants to make this big

statement. The FBI director's job is to disappear into the background, to simply just be a figurehead that quietly gives leadership and guidance to an organization that you really shouldn't hear that much from. When the FBI is doing a good job, you don't hear about them. When they're doing a crap job like they have been for the last decade. We hear about them all the time. It should not be in the news all the time.

It's not good for your agency. And you can't change the American people's mind by simply showing up on a podcast and talking about how we're going to go stop crime in all these American cities. And then he even says words that are not even words. Listen to this. You have to. Recognize that there was an explosion in violent crime and it didn't happen in a month or

six months. It happened over the course of years due to the prior administration's laco daisical approach against crime and violent. The criminals took advantage of that. So the FBI, under my leadership, we came in and said, OK, violent crimes exploding. Everybody knows that. We see that you can't walk around these cities anymore. People are getting shot, kids are getting shot. Drugs are killing our youth. We need to do what the FBI is

best at and crush violent crime. So we targeted all the major cities in the country. We called our state and local authorities and we said we need you all in as task force officers. You have the ground level intelligence. We have to attack the criminal enterprises where they start and their entire spider web of networks across the country. And that's the beauty of summer heat. Is that the beauty of summer heat? Really. Did you guys catch that Laxical basical.

That's not even a word. Director Patel. Look, it's hard to do this, but you're a professional. You've been doing hundreds of interviews. That's why you can't remember who Stu Peters is. I remember you said you didn't know who he was because you were too busy doing so many things. This is the same guy, and I'm going to read this from you because he's got a bunch of

these tweets. This is the the same guy who posted the following tweet up on X, which is where he seems to spend a bunch of time on October the 4th. Breaking. First of all, why is the FBI director breaking news breaking? MSNBC is still an ass clown factory of disinformation. The same circus animals that slobbled over perp walks of Stone and Navarro and Bannon. MSNBC has no facts and no audience.

That is my evidence to you that we are talking about a bootleg budget version of Donald Trump. All of the bravado and none of the follow through, none of the branding for decades. Donald Trump built it up because he was independently wealthy, he had a bunch of money and his brand was this 80s gaudiness of gold and beautiful women in bikinis and I'll buy whatever I want. And this sort of American brashness during that time breaking. MSNBC is still an ass clown factory of disinformation.

Are we serious here? How is this guy going to go out in front of Congress? Do you realize that because of the way that he's talked, he's going to implicate himself in a bunch of these different cases that he keeps talking about personally leading like the manhunt into the the assassin for Charlie Kirk? It's crazy. There are real problems with the FBI.

We covered them the other day. We talked about how a young professional support employee who'd been at the FBI for a period of time, then was going to go and move into a probationary role to become a special agent. When you change jobs, you can get a new probation time. Displayed a pride pride flag and thought that was fine. When I told you that the issues in the FBI are not just the top management and they're not just the people at the street level.

The real, real rot is this GS15 to senior SES level people whose names you've never heard of. I'm going to play you someone whose names you've never heard of until he resigned because he was friends with Peter Strzok and he was told that he was part of the problem. The issue is, is not one guy. It's not one guy who's part of the problem. It's all the guys that did this job, which is almost all of

them. There may be one or two that would get swept out that would have been useful to keep, but they should all go. And the argument I made to Patel before he became the FBI director and started doing Punisher coins like a dummy is that the right answer is sweep out the middle management and everybody in the Senior Executive Service should be put somewhere where they can't hurt anybody until they go and resign or they become, you know, whatever retired. That was the right answer.

This is Michael Feinberg. He was AGS 15, an ASAC, an assistant special agent in charge in the FBII got the post wrong over the weekend. So I was corrected by former FBI agent and I'll acknowledge that up front. I I misread this. I did. I actually thought he was more senior than he was. He's AGS 15. That is when I was a brick agent. That would have been my boss's boss. This is the person that sets

policy at the field office. They are the probably the biggest authority that you deal with. You don't deal with the special agent in charge. They come and go. The ASAC is the person that runs whether or not you're going to get funding for your program, what the priorities are in the mission for your particular squad, how you're going to be judged. That person is the one that is making sure that the SES gets his bonus and so they hold you accountable.

This is the most dangerous person in the FBI and he's out here defending, quote UN quote, free speech and your sexual orientation, you know, celebrations, which I'm pretty sure I've read the Constitution. It wasn't in there. Maybe he just made-up his own version of the Constitution. This is the Constitution that they were defending. Again, this is the real problem. Meanwhile, spiders in your eyes

on a Punisher skull coin. Insane on so many levels that I don't know where to begin or how to demarcate all the different tiers of inanity that this signifies, but I'll do my best. First of all, the FB is mission statement is to uphold the Constitution of the United States and protect the American people. The Constitution has certain guarantees under the 1st and 14th Amendment that protects people's right to speak and protects their sexual

orientation. There are Hatch Act considerations that prohibit certain types of political advocacy by a federal employee, but a pride flag implicates none of those. You know, for every year I was in the FBI during Pride Month, every single FBI field office and every single DOJ building would fly the pride flag outside. So what this employee was doing was not at all out of line, out of the norm, or at all inappropriate. And that's where we're going to

have to break from you. It was 100% inappropriate. It was inappropriate for the field office. It was a political statement, no question in my mind. But it wasn't out of the norm. I do agree with that part. And that is why the Bureau needed to be gutted. That is why a serious person who wrote a book called Government Gangsters and understood the nature of this government entity that we thought was going to come in and de weaponize it,

deconstruct the problems. That guy was supposed to show up and instead we got this ass clown to quote him from his own post. What did he call them? Ass clowns of misinformation. Ass clown factory of disinformation. That's actually correct. That's what we have as an FBI director. An ass clown factory of disinformation using cash. Patel's own words. Now allow me to show you the most dangerous version of this, please.

This is the scariest piece in that interview where he didn't answer the question about January 6th and he did go out and claim a bunch of nonsense about crime and how they were going to use intelligence. By the way, you hear him say the word intelligence, the single most dangerous thing that gets done by the FBI. Here he is telling you the real problem, and this is a real problem.

How can you have rigid obedience to the Constitution of the United States of America as your number one goal, which is something he said he would do underoath when he went out and he was being confirmed. How do you do that? And then you also claim that we have too much speech in this country and we really need to regulate social media. And he would like to work with Congress to make that happen.

Does anyone know what the 1st Amendment actually stands for in, in anywhere in our federal government at this point? Yeah. The Trump, the Trump administration, they have the same problem that the last one did. Again, they are trying to turn over the ring of power and wield it properly because now our guys have it. Paul King told us this. Somebody will cut your damn hand off, they'll take the ring and they will use it for the other piece.

And I'm not real crazy about the way that you might wield it because you seem to be problematic in the 1st place. Cash Patel, in his own words, in an interview, telling us that social media is a problem. Look, I don't like it any better than anybody. And if you guys were to wipe it off the face of the earth, I would be psyched. But that's got to be done by God and man and not the government, it turns out, because the government has no ability to regulate that, and they shouldn't.

Can we just simply agree that the First Amendment means that you have the freedom to speak and to assemble and to practice your religion, and everyone needs to stay out of it? And especially like Director Valhalla here. The simple answer, in my opinion, is social media is wildly out of control and there's too much clickbait in

this country. And one of the things I highlighted Congress in my testimony last week was if we want to protect our youth, we got to get more involved in social media and online platforms because that's where the folks, the assassins of this world, get radicalized. That's where they're the long road after in general. And so we have to to get after that problem set. And I asked for Congress to help in doing so. But Speaking of Charlie Kirk, who was a very dear friend of

mine. And then I was tasked with leading the nationwide manhunt to find the perpetrators involved. Of course, we were going to use every resource we have to find every single person involved in the investigation still ongoing. But we as one of the pillars of my leadership here at the FBI is transparency. We've produced more documents to Congress than my last two predecessors combined by two fold, just to put it in

perspective. So when we take our investigations out to the streets, I have the same ethos. And this is how we got Charlie Kirk's assassin, alleged assassin so fast. The the Boston Marathon bomber which happened in downtown Boston during the Boston Marathon took five days and there was a police officer was killed in that manhunt. Luigi Mangione, who allegedly murdered an individual, the CEO of the healthcare company in downtown Manhattan in broad daylight, took five days to find

him. Our investigation is very much ongoing, but we've also, Armstrong, in an unusual thing, put out publicly. More information as to what we found because of it is of such public importance. The flip side of that is the social media. People get involved and they come run with their crazy conspiracy theories because it makes them money. It gives them click bait and I don't work for them and I don't respond to them. My duties to the American

people. If there was anyone else involved in Charlie Kirk's murder, you can look at our record. We'll find them and we'll get them. I'm so nauseated by that clip on every level. It was all about me and I'm so great. And I was better than the Boston Marathon task force that went after a complex plan of two guys that were running around and a drop bombs and actually like really, really got away with something pretty awful.

Destroyed a bunch of lives in a public way with a huge crime scene that was destructive to like dozens and dozens of of people's physical bodies. And we're better than Luigi Manioni in New York. He's going to basically score it up to the amount of time. How about you did it in Orem, UT where the local police went and ran down a person? Because there's only like a couple 1000 people that live like the entire state of Utah. It's not that big.

There are more people in Manhattan than there are in Utah as far as I can tell. You guys double check me on the facts, but I bet I'm pretty close on that. Just jumping off the off the cuff. So you had a much smaller haystack. So what? And a much more obvious pattern. It's always about him, isn't it? Isn't that amazing? I've never heard an FBI director make it about themselves. Whenever your team does a great job, you, you praise the team.

It's craziness. All right, before I get deeper than that, let me just break over and let you know. If you're not watching on Spotify, you guys are missing out. If you're listening to this and you're not seeing some of the visuals, there's a bunch there. Kyle seraphinshow.com. Super easy. You don't even have to download the app, but if you do, I think it's worth your time. It's easy to sweep between video and audio. You can also join us over on

locals at kyleseraphin.com. If you guys want to support and be part of our community when we talk about the stuff after the fact, we have posts on there. If you're watching anywhere, make sure you guys like and you share it and you subscribe over on YouTube and Rumble. I'm seeing numbers go up on both those sides. We really appreciate that broke 14,000 as we predicted, as you guys made it happen over the weekend. So that was really cool.

It's it's a very small growth pattern over at YouTube, but we are getting people to start watching over there too. So if you watch on YouTube, I appreciate you guys and and I'm not done with this story. Again, there are real problems in this country, no doubt about it, serious problems. What we don't have are serious people that are dealing with it. And that's really obvious to me. Here's another good story of

this. There's a woman who got two federal charges for ramming United States custom and Border Protection agents with her SUV in Chicago. This is in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division. A woman is accused of trying to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate and interfere with folks who are doing their lawful duty as federal agents.

This shouldn't be that big of a question, but because we live in an unserious time, because we have this clown show who's running the FBI, we get this sort of thing going. Like, hey, did it even happen when you destroy your credibility by putting out challenge coins with the flipping punisher on them like a like a 19 year old enlisted grunt style dummy? And yes, I used to work with those people. I used to bunk with those guys

and they're great kids. They're just children when you're 45. And putting those out, it makes people ask questions like, hey, is this government up to the job? The answer probably is no. The answer is, I hope we solve this locally. But of the few things that I do think the federal government actually belongs, getting involved in this deportation work is critical. If we're going to regain any semblance of normalcy in this country, it has to happen.

It's the, it's the tourniquet that stops the bleed out of of America falling apart. It's the, it's the the massive hemorrhage in the March assessment. For those of you that understand emergency medicine, it needed to be stopped. And the people who are here that are both bleeding us dry on resources and involving themselves in criminal activity because they already started criminal activity by coming here.

Those people got to go. And so for the weirdos that are out there trying to resist this and the the crazy white lady liberals or leftist loonies that are out there that want to ram into an ICE vehicle or ACBP vehicle to try to stop them from deporting people, they endanger everyone. At least we've got a real billionaire, in his own words, JB Pritzker, basically calling into doubt on all this.

And the problem is because of the unserious nature of the people that are handling the problem, because of the border Barbie types, the Christie gnomes who puts on a bunch of makeup and then gets kicked out of Target and doesn't get to use the bathroom. And they make a big show of it. And everything they do is on Fox News. People aren't taking them seriously. And there's not enough middle ground of like regular people just doing their effing jobs. Just get to work.

Stop talking about it. Stop going out and doing this because you're giving fodder for this clown. Here's Jake Tapper talking to the governor of Illinois, basically calling it out everything. And the other problem is, is some of what Cash just said about social media is actually correct. There are a bunch of grifters out there that put out fake things, including a video of someone ramming a vehicle. And apparently that wasn't the right vehicle.

That wasn't the right actual footage because the woman who was doing the ramming was in a silver Nissan Rogue. So if you guys have seen that video on social media, it's probably the wrong one. And then there was also apparently a dark pickup truck that was involved and an unknown other vehicle. And the videos that I've seen that claimed to be this incident in Chicago, they weren't it. Governor Pritzker, what's your response to Secretary GNOME?

And as a practical matter, since you oppose this troop deployment, is there anything you can do? Well, good morning, Jake. And let me just say that the secretary doesn't know what she's talking about. She frankly says that people are clapping. They're not. They're booing her on the street and they're booing ICE and CBP. They're marching.

The CBP marching on a beautiful Sunday in Michigan Ave. in downtown Chicago, they're raiding neighborhoods where instead of going after the bad guys, they're just picking up people who are brown and black and then checking their credentials. Are you AUS citizen? I don't know about you, but I don't carry around papers that say I'm AUS citizen. So you can imagine people are getting detained, they're getting arrested, U.S. citizens.

And they did this, of course, when they raided a building in the middle of the night in South Shore, 130 people that were emptied out of this building that they were going after a few gang members. And instead, they broke windows, they broke down doors, they ransacked the place. And there were people that were held. I mean, elderly people and children, zip tied, elderly people held for three hours at a time. They are the ones that are making it a war zone.

They need to get out of Chicago. If they're not going to focus on the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they were going to do, they need to get the heck out. Governor Pritzker, what's your response to Secretary Gnome and. Heyjackass.com guys know it. Check it out once a week or so. Why don't you look at this? Here's Hey Jackass, here's October. We just started October.

We're on the 6th day of October. There have been eight people shot and killed with 9 total homicides in Chicago alone. On average, somebody is shot every four hours and change and someone is murdered in Chicago on an average of every 19 hours and 3 minutes. That means that there are more than one homicide happening on average per week, which is how you end up with 9 / 6 days in in October. You guys tracking this? This guy is going to lecture us about what happens. Guess what?

Law enforcement locks people up when they serve a lawful warrant, which by the way, we are degrading the authority of all of those capabilities. We are not looking at people and saying, ah yes, this is a federal agent, this is a law enforcement action. This is our police and we have trust in them. The left spent years and years degrading them. Cash was not wrong about it. The right is not fixing it any better. So I don't think there is a left or a right.

It's just my team and your team. And I hate both teams. I despise them. It's really easy to do because in the place that this guy is talking about, people are being murdered on a raid on over one a day. Maybe he should spare us, but we could at least make it about racism. Would that be fun? Let's do that. Let's see if we can do CNN making it about racism because historically slavery or

something. American citizens that were drug out of their homes and detained and put through something that they should not have had to go through. And when we are having a conversation about how customary it is to detain someone, I want people to remember the historic implications of that for Black people. OK, hold on, Hold on. Wait. What would be? Wait, Don't let me wait. Wait. Let me ask you.

Let me ask you honestly, what would be the is the alternative to go in there and say, OK, guys, raise your hand. If you are an American citizen and we're gonna let you out of here, do you trust people to be honest? Is that the alternative? No. Yeah, the alternative is for law enforcement to do their job. Yes, that's what they're doing. Attaining the right and. How do they detect? How do they that they have to see the papers? Yeah, the the alternative is for

law enforcement. They have and not like the. Rihanna, Rihanna, one second you walk down the street. When you walk down the street and let's say hypothetically a law enforcement person came up to you and said, are you a U.S. citizen? What are you going to say? Well, that's not the. Question. No, no. Let me ask you if they if they said that to you. But like, what if we just made-up a scenario that wasn't the scenario?

What if it wasn't that these people had a search warrant for a specific premise with certain people named because they were known to be in that area? What if it didn't involve surveillance to identify that those people were actually in there and they had probable cause to believe that the people that they were looking for in the search warrant who met the probable cause definition of whatever the crime was that those people were actually where they were?

What if we just made-up a news story where a random cop asks you if you're AUS citizen? So we just had a governor say, yeah, even though there's evidence that says this thing happened, that the the chief of patrol for the Chicago PD said we are not going to intervene in a violent criminal action, which is in fact a state level crime, that we're just going to ignore it. And we're just going to act like that actually didn't happen despite evidence to the

contrary. Here he was again with Jake Tapper, saying there's a lot of, there's like not very many details about this situation. DHS says that CBP officers shot and wounded a woman in Chicago yesterday after they say she allegedly rammed a law enforcement vehicle and agents were boxed in by multiple cars. The spokesperson for DHS, Tricia McLaughlin, accused Chicago police of leaving the scene and refusing to assist agents in securing the area. What do you know about this incident?

Were federal agents boxed in and assaulted? Well, we don't have a lot of facts. What happens in these sorts of incidents is typically ICE puts out a press release before anybody else can speak with the press, and then it gets reported on social media and elsewhere. Remember, these are the same folks who killed a person, a unarmed person, just a couple of weeks ago in Franklin Park. At first, they said that the officer had been threatened with

his life. The reality of it and the truth of it has now come out, and that wasn't the case. They killed somebody. So here it's really so. This other thing happened which was totally unrelated by people who were not involved in this incident. And then I'm going to tell you in very vague details that they killed somebody, but we're not going to discuss whether or not it was justifiable homicide or whether there was something that should have been done. Meanwhile, Bill Maluzion

reported this. This is a picture of a computer aided dispatch terminal. This is a photograph of somebody's screen from Chicago PD that says for October 2025 at 1236 and 47 seconds, a dispatch went out that said the following quote flees chief of patrol. No units will respond to this as related caller is one of approximately 30 armed Border Patrol agents parentheses ICE, who are being surrounded by a large group of people requesting CPD and they're not going to

respond. And the result was shots fired by federal agents because they got to do what they got to do to get out of there. And they do have a right to be there. And we do have a supremacy clause. And even though I think we should depoliticize all of it, I'm not going to question the guy in the like on the ground doing the work at that moment.

In fact, there are people, probably more people who should be shot, who do really dangerous things because we've actually taught our cops the wrong lessons, that when it's their life on the line or other people's lives on the line, they are actually reticent to act. I know that for a fact because I experienced it myself when I was in Portland. I would have been, I, I assumed unnecessary risk when six people surrounded my vehicle and we're going to talk about Portland in

just a second. I looked out there and said, if I take a shot at one of these people whose hands keep darting into their waistband and I don't know what they're going to come

up with. Who are wearing like what appears to be body armor and tactical vests at 11:00 at night on a, on an abandoned city street where nobody else needs to be. After knowing from FBI dispatch that one of these idiots had gotten my license plate number and it was called out by someone wearing a hat that said National Lawyers Guild, the FBI has all this information for all this nonsense that you hear Cash Patel talking about.

How come we haven't seen mass arrests of the people that were involved in the Antifa protests and, and the riots that happened five years ago that happened in September and October and November of 2020? And the statute of limitations on that conspiracy is not over yet. And many of them are still acting today, I guarantee it, because they don't have any jobs. They don't have anything else they do.

They just occupy that city. This is a, a video of a law enforcement officer responding to the shooting that happened at the church in Michigan. This was the LDS church that happened in Michigan. I want you to hear how many people are calling for, you know, drop it and put your hands up. The reason they're doing that is because they are not confident that if they take the shot or if they even have the shot at all, some of them couldn't probably do it. But they don't have the skill

set or they don't have the, the, the knowledge that their department is going to back them up if they do the thing that needs to be done. And so they are endangering their own lives and more bystanders by not shooting the person who carries a weapon and has already demonstrated that they have crossed the threshold for deadly force. The strictly speaking, federal definition for use of deadly force is the same that the FBI uses all the DOJ entities use.

And broadly speaking, it is pretty much the same when it comes to whether or not they're going to get hit with a federal crime. Now, they may have their own use of force policies within their their agencies, but they should not have something that is too restrictive to stop an active shooter who is actively shooting people. But they know that they're going to get destroyed. They know their life will be over and that their career is

probably toast again. The the OJ policy, which I've had to say thousands of times, states that law enforcement officers at the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary. That is when the subject of sex force, the person you're shooting, poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to yourself or to another person. Watch this video. You tell me why did they not shoot?

And I'll tell you, it's because the system is broken and it's not about they're they're the furthest thing from punishers. What they are is people who realize that they don't even have the ability to do their own job, which is protection. Listen to the volume of shooting too. OK, Coffee's coming up, has an AR. I got your back back here man. Hey, he's moving in with the two man team. Why is he yelling? Give him the ground, shoot him. That's it. Get back. Get back.

From the time he said shoot him, listen to how many more shots are fired. Drop back. Drop the gun. No, drop him. Now you have. The guy doesn't have. It. That is not a great firing position when you have dudes in front of you less than 10° out to the right and to the left. I get it, it's a rifle, but this is a training problem too. That cop should have pushed up and created a common firing line. Why are we not teaching things like this?

He said shoot him. You don't give commands when someone has already shown the propensity to start taking human lives. It's over at that point in time. You can shoot them when they draw the weapon. Period. We're not we're not empowering our law enforcement to do law enforcement when there's something so critical like this. So how in the world are you going to say that these guys are going to go out there and act like, you know, in in some dangerous manner?

It's crazy to me to think that we have this bizarre sense of entitlement that you should be able to like start shooting up a church and then you should be taken into custody.

No. And so all this idea about Portland and all the things that are going on this this quote UN quote, federal troops coming in, their stories about that that are that are invading it. A lot of it comes down to is because we've emasculated the men who are willing to stand in the gap and do the thing that is very dangerous. What those guys did is crazy dangerous, including shooting

right past their own guys. All it took was the guy on the right that's on the screen right now that you see next to the tree, him deciding to get a better firing position 1 foot to the left when he starts catching rounds from his buddy in the back. That could be very, very easily done. That's why you establish common firing line. But we're not going to critique people who are trying to get it done. What we're going to say is, is they don't have the right

training. Obviously that is something that should have been hard wired in and they don't have the, the, the rules of engagement or the deadly force policy or use of force policies that like enable them to do the work that we expect them to do. Maybe that's why you end up with stories like this as the the cops see what's the use of taking these people doing anything.

You go catch somebody who is trying to kill a Supreme Court Justice and not only do they get a super light sentence, but you get this weird affirmation period. I'm going to steal this from Jesse Waters piece only because the story of what the judge said is as crazy as anything else. Our justice system is broken. The answer is not an an FBI director with a Punisher skull pretending and Larping that he's now a freaking Marvel action hero.

Fox News alert Kavanaugh's wannabe trans assassin Nicholas Roske was sentenced today eight years in prison for trying to kill a Supreme Court Justice. Eight years. Prosecutors were asking for 30. That's a big difference. Why? Well, you'd have to ask Judge Deborah Boardman, a Biden appointee who thinks this isn't an assassination story. It's a story of trans

acceptance. Quote, heartened that this terrible infraction has helped the Roski family accept their daughter for who she is. During the hearing, Boardman asked Roski, Miss Roski, have you read the sentencing report? And in a deep, booming baritone, Roski said yes. Boardman called Roski by his new name, Sophie, and grilled the DOJ about sending Sophie to a woman's prison and giving him hormone therapy. Is this lady serious? She just gave a guy 10 years for wire fraud.

Is wire fraud worse than trying to kill a Supreme Court Justice? It is if the Assassin's trance. So there you have it. It's one example, but there are countless examples of the crazy gaslighting. And This is why our justice system is broken down. But the answer is not cartoons and freaking action hero nonsense. I thought we were getting serious people and to do serious work. We're not getting that. Here's another story. It happens in all the major

outlets right now. CBSABCNBC all covering this judge blocks Trump administration from sending any National Guard troops into Oregon for now. I thought we already settled this in California.

Apparently we did not. A federal judge late on Sunday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying National Guard units into Oregon after a legal whirlwind that began hours earlier when the president mobilized California troops for Portland. After the same judge blocked him from using Oregon troops and Oregon National Guard troops the same day during hasty phone hearing, the US District Court Judge Karen Embergut. Yes, it's Karen with an eye.

Though granted a temporary restraining order sought by California and Oregon earlier that day, the same judge temporarily blocked administration from deploying Oregon National Guard troops into Portland.

But on Sunday, the president moved to send National Guard troops from the neighboring state, California, and then from Texas. Emmergood, who was appointed by Trump in his first term, issued her second, more sweeping order late on Sunday after she upgraded the federal government's attorney and questioned how the move to send California and Texas troops to Oregon was not in direct contravention to the order that was issued the day before.

Great, great. So the locals aren't going to do it. And Portland is a captured area. Having worked there even briefly, it was very clear to me how stupid this was, how dangerous this is. I've seen exactly what goes down. What you're going to end up having is these people who do not have a continuum of force, who do not have the ability to respond to riots, which Kash Patel accurately stated in his interview. The FBI doesn't do riot control and neither does Border Patrol, really.

That's just not what they're built to do. That's not how they're empowered. That's not how they're trained. Their job is to bring and do apprehension of illegal aliens, what by whatever means needs to be done. And the biggest tool they have on their on their, their belt is almost always going to be deadly force. So someone's going to die from this. I can tell you right now it will

100% be the case. And in the meantime, Democrats have acted like the the government shutdown, which I tell you, the Republicans should own. They've acted like it was about what the Republicans are super mean and dangerous and they're doing bad things and nobody should play this game. Meanwhile, the Republicans are saying, well, it's about illegal aliens getting healthcare and we just don't want to add that back into the bill. You guys are nuts. And they said, well, it's not

about that. How many people have we heard say it's not about that? Hakeem Jeffries, Schumer, Maxine Waters, Pelosi, you name it, they were cheering this on not too long ago. The things that they are active that they're crying about and saying it is not actually happening. Of course they were cheering it on. Just depends on who's who's in

the executive office. Also, starting January 1st, California will become the first state in the nation to offer health insurance to undocumented immigrants. Under the expansion, more than 700,000 people between the ages of 26 and 49 will be eligible for medical. CBS 8 Rosita de la Fey takes to look at the new law and how immigrant rights advocates are reacting.

Immigrant rights advocates called the expansion of healthcare for undocumented immigrants a major milestone in California. This is really major step in in California. Advocates for immigrant rights are celebrating A monumental victory in the fight for more inclusive healthcare. I'm so grateful. Again, I think it's really, really important to think about how big of precedent this is for the entire nation.

Nettie Velasquez is the border policy coordinator at Alliant San Diego. She's a DACA recipient who has been fighting and advocating for health expansion for years. A lot of undocumented people and you know, a lot of low income people because they don't have access to these resources, they wait until the very end to to hopefully receive some care. And by then it's too late. And we shouldn't have to have people, you know, waiting until they're feeling I'll to go to

the doctor. We should have preventative care. And that's why this is so important. Those who are eligible will be able to qualify for medical, the state's health insurance program for low income individuals, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, right? So lie, lie, lie. Everybody lies on both sides. We get it. Remember right now you've got Portland in a mess.

And what is the mess for? Oh, the mess is because they're really mad about nobody is illegal and immigrant rights and illegal aliens are people, too, and they should be able to get healthcare, whatever other crazy nonsense. Remember when I was there, it was because black people are being killed. Stop killing black men. I have. I have pictures of banners that were up all over the city of Portland that said these are the black men who have been killed by law enforcement.

And I looked up some of them, and it's like, yeah, because he drew a gun. K Holes. They had a freaking protest right across the street from the hotel where a bunch of FBI agents were staying. And right in the parking lot, they were burning things. And it was because there was some kid who robbed a convenience store with a revolver, then ran a few blocks away directly in front of the hotel, drew a gun on cops and

then was put down. Not like what you saw at the LDS Church. They did it right away, apparently, And that was the problem. The Trump administration apparently is discussing sending quote UN quote, elite army divisions to Portland. Text messages show this is a story that's being reported by the Minnesota Star Tribune. This is actually funny for a lot of reasons. A high-ranking White House official indiscreetly texting about Portland, OR.

What I found out for the first time, and, and this is news to me because I was not previously unaware of this, is that the 82nd Airborne is an elite Army division. For those of you that were in the Army, could you please weigh in on this? Is the 82nd an elite, the Army

division? The message casually exchanged last weekend in a crowded public space show high level officials in the Trump administration discussing the deployment of the Army's 82nd Airborne and Infantry Division that has been deployed to combat zones in both world wars, Vietnam and Afghanistan. Yeah, we know what the 82nd is. The administration would ascend the Army Division.

It would almost certainly be challenged under the court because there are federal laws that say how the military can be and cannot be used. This is the posse comataz situation. Got it. They ordered National Guard troops into Portland, but not the 82nd Airborne, as you guys found out, a Trump, Trump

appointed judge shut it down. The guy's name is Anthony Salisbury. He's a deputy of the White House. Top policy adviser Stephen Miller sent text messages on Signal while traveling in Minnesota and in clearview of other people, which is what's going on. This is a tactic known as social

engineering. If you guys are not familiar with it, they actually teach this stuff when you go to law enforcement academies that if somebody can look over your shoulder, they are socially engineering and getting access to your information. They don't have to crack your stuff. They can simply stand above you

and take a picture. You should have what's known as situational awareness, particularly if you're discussing really sensitive policies like sending in troops into places that are in open revolt against America. That wouldn't be that hard. There's some really funny stuff in this, including he goes off topic and says in a he wrote that JD Vance wanted to pursue criminal cases against 2 Florida influencers who are, quote, UN, quote, preaching violence.

I don't think that people are necessarily doing that. There is already a law for incitement to violence. He didn't say what the what the pair's identity was. And the prosecutors apparently declined those cases. In a separate exchange, this guy, Anthony Salzburg celebrated FBI Director Cash Patel's decision to fire several agents who were photographed kneeling in 2020. He suggested that Trump would approve of the action and then insulted Patel. He said this is how Cash

survives. Quote, he will do this stuff for the man, but day-to-day he's a giant douche canoe not well thought of within the administration, I imagine. Why? Because he has things like this going on, because this is part of it. Now, I don't know where Pete Hegseth falls in with Trump's love or or dislove, but he seems to be getting the thing and getting the message that, hey, the only way you fix this is by fixing the actual mechanisms in the machine.

So that's why this story rings really true for me. And it makes me kind of laugh that this is even controversial today when you guys go see women try to fight cops or Border Patrol agents and they get immediately manhandled and it's really easy. This should tell them everything they need to know about whether or not we should have troops that are women in combat. There are a small number of women that can fight at the same level of men, a small number.

But the number of women that are that are able to do that and also want to do that, I think it's also pretty small. What Pete Hegg says military fitness rules may mean for women service members. I'm not degrading any of you that have served. I don't actually care. I'm talking about as a writ large decision by society. Isn't it reasonable that we just accept that for thousands of years people understood what was and what was not war and what that physical conflict look like?

We had a discussion, me and one of our listeners who are remaining analysts, but you guys can guess who it is over the weekend about engaging with female pilots who have destroyed targets on behalf of the United States government and this person engaged with directly. And I get it. The question then has to be, did that woman meet the same physical standard as the man who didn't get that job? We need to ask that question for all the left cared about equity

and and equality and fairness. Did we actually go out there and do that? Look, if you physically can do the same level of whatever the physical requirements are, and then you also meet the academic and you meet all that, like if you do all the things equally, great, great. You'll never hear me complain about that. And there are a couple women I've met who are able to do that. Serious studs.

We had a woman that was in the the FBI who was like one of the two examples, like shining examples. One was in my Quantico class. She outshot almost every man, including me. She outshot me by a lot. She was disgustingly good. Kristen was a stud hands down and she could fight. I didn't have a problem with her. She was also one of however many there were. She was the only one. And I also met a woman who was a former ER nurse.

She had done trauma responses and she was an eco challenge participant for National Geographic. Like went all over the country, went all over the world, climbed mountains, did like super hard stuff that most men that I know that are my age probably still couldn't even do. She was probably more physically fit and capable and aggressive than a lot of dudes. So no prom, no qualms, none at all. But shouldn't that just be a no brainer that the standard is the standard?

And that's what it is, Not because we want people there, but because you have to actually meet it so that you're safe, so the people around you can actually do the work. One of the things that I always did, I was 160 something pounds when I was in the Air Force, when we did training, I almost always paired up with my buddy Matt. Matt was like 65 and 250. Matt was a monster. He was huge. And I was like, Matt with no, you know, that was Matt in in Silkies, not Matt wearing his

gear. And every single time we did a buddy carry, I'd pick his big heavy ass up and I'd run him across the damn field like you'd expect. Little battle dwarf that I was with, this dude just lopped over me with his fingers dragging in the grass and his boots scraping on the ground. So what? I'd scoop him up with one arm over and the other one free for a weapon system and I'd run his ass up and down to 100 yards and then he'd pick me up and run like a rag doll and it'll be no

big deal. Why? Because if I needed to move Maddie out of a freaking combat zone, I need to be able to pick up the biggest, heaviest dude there. And he's not the biggest dude in the military, but he was a pretty good sized guy. He was a good stand in for it. So I always challenged myself and then he just didn't challenge himself because he was bigger than everybody, so he might as well pick up someone small and fast. That's how it works.

In a speech during the week, Pete Hegseth announced that the implementation of a new fitness standard for the military, by the way, that's only rolling it back like 10 years. Like that used to be the standard. That used to be the the assumption. In his Hegseth, he emphasized gender neutral standards and general neutral testing for men and women to meet the same minimal minimum physical requirements. And apparently that was really controversial. We've covered it now three times.

If women can't make it, if they can make it excellent, and if not, it is what it is. That's the answer. That's the only answer. If that means that women do not qualify for some combat jobs, so be it. That's not the intent, but it could be the result, he said. I don't want my son serving with troops who are out of shape or in a combat unit with females who cannot meet the same combat arms physical standards as men. Shouldn't you also want that too, ladies? Shouldn't it just be about

merit? Shouldn't it have always been about merit? Should there ever have been any play in this game? Here you go. Some lady who has expertise and sexual discrimination in the military said to me. Heck, Seth wants a military to look a certain way, which is definitely male and muscular. It seems like his expectation is that once they enforce the more rigorous standards, women will be pushed out. I'm going to just go ahead and pop that lady's bubble. That is 100% the case. My wife is tiny.

She cannot even move with me on her back and I'm not that big. We do this joke every once in a while. She was like, Oh my God, what would happen if there was a fire and you were unconscious? I'm like, then I'm dead. Get the kids out because you can't pick me up. You can't even drag me out. Probably even on a, on a, on a floor that's smooth. It's very unlikely. Call a call a firefighter. Hopefully it's a man that shows up and can drag me with one hand because I can drag 160 LB dummy

with one hand. I've done it a bunch. It's one of the things they make you do. It's really not that hard to say that this should be a no brainer. And again, there are thousands of years of human evolution to say otherwise. If you didn't show up to be hard and aggressive and, and, and be challenged physically to a standard that is not flexible and doesn't matter, the hell are we doing here? Donald Trump said he was reawakening the warrior spirit.

That's the way you do it. Standards requiring certain things of people you don't do it with this this doesn't awaken any warrior spirits. This sounds the freaking the the the horn to open the gates of Valhalla. Apparently I think that's what this this this challenge coin is with the barrels of gun as teeth. I think you can use it to unlock the gates of Valhalla in the fictional world. The comic book that Cash Patel apparently lives in. We're so silly right now.

I told you I'd talk about the government shutdown. There's a reason why we have an opportunity right now. We people who are not on the left and the right anymore, like we're, we're like post partisans, all of you united. Here's why this is my favorite. The CBS News poll founds that few people are feeling the shutdown is worth it. It gets low marks for Republicans, Democrats and Trump's handling. But it also says this. How many people are concerned about the government shutdown's

effect on the economy? 49% said they're very concerned. 31% said somewhat, 20% said not concerned. There's some really funny stuff in this, this article. What's the most important issue facing the economy? I'm facing the country. Oh, the economy and jobs and inflation and then healthcare and then immigration, 14%. So 27 percent, 21 percent, 15 and 14 respectively. 9% think it's crime, 9% think it's government spending. It should be. Everyone should be worried about

government spending. That's what should happen. Is the Trump administration focused on lowering prices enough? 75% of people in this you Gov poll said not enough. 75% of people said that that the federal government is not working on lowering prices. This is a fundamental disconnect from people's minds from what is reality. The federal government should have nothing to do with pricing if you are in a free market

economy. And if it does have something to do with it, you are not living in anything that resembles America. And we're not. And people are so dumb they think it matters. Imagine if the federal government got out of your way. What do you think the actual federal cost bump is to everything you buy? How many federal taxes?

How many little things? I mean, I thought we were going to get rid of the didn't somebody fact checked me on this, But weren't we going to get rid of the IRS under Donald Trump? We were going to go specifically to 100% tariffs only. That would mean you'd have to eliminate a ton of this federal government. And I'm 100% behind it. That's the only thing I want to see. Less government all the time. Please, please God. I've got more stuff that we

could even cover today. We're going to leave it at that. We'll touch 1st amendment stuff later on. Let me let me indicate 2 things. Let me enrage you and then I'm going to pacify you. Let me first enrage you with this one guy who's a comedian letting you know that people on the right do not have a monopoly on patriotism or love of country and that this is not their nation. We have a serious problem in this country and unserious people solving it because exactly this.

The left actually has no claim to patriotism. They have no claim to love of this country. And I won't even agree that people on the right even know what it means. Can we agree that if you think that the government, 75% of people responding, said that the government should be working on prices and trying to lower

costs, that it doesn't matter? Like, that's going to absolutely include people on both sides of the aisles, but at least one side claims to love this country, and the other side says that America is the problem. So I disagree with Jon Stewart on this. And then I'm going to tell you why I'm still laughing at still laughing at the government shutdown ongoing, which none of us have noticed.

You just want that person to give you your country back because you feel that you're this country's rightful owners. There's only one problem with that. This country isn't yours. You don't own it. It never was. There is no real America. You don't own it. You don't own patriotism. You don't own Christianity. You sure as hell don't own respect for the bravery and sacrifice of military, police and firefighters. Trust me, I saw a lot of people.

I saw a lot of people on the convention floor in Cleveland with their Blue Lives Matter rhetoric who either remained silent or actively fought against the 9/11 1st Responders bill reauthorization. I see you and I see. OK. Yeah, we do. We don't need a secular Jewish guy who's worth millions of dollars telling us what happens in law enforcement or military or first responders. I've been part of all three communities. I spent time in all of them.

And Christianity. How about you suck at Jon Stewart anyway? But that is a position. That's a position being argued. So continue to watch for that, that disingenuous use of of Oh well, as a Christian, how can you back the deportations? Or as a Christian, how can you do this? Or as a pro-life person, how can you stand behind these things? You don't get to tell me what my faith means. And you're going to see that going on because they are going to try to use it.

As usual. This is a Saul Alinsky tactic. Make people live up to their own standards. The difference is some of them should probably read Augustine, which we'll cover at some point in the in the near future. It is a well established, like hundreds and hundreds of years, more than 1000 years worth of Christian tradition says that proximity actually does necessitate the way that you prioritize love and Christian charity.

Oh, go figure. We actually thought of this stuff in the 2000 years that this has existed. Yeah, we have. We'll get back to that too, because we should give you guys some some armor as you go out and deal with your neighbors and your loved ones, people that don't agree with you and they say these silly things.

Yeah. It turns out that there's a pretty robust philosophy after 2000 years of people following the same sort of value system, and you don't get to tell me what that is, probably because you don't know either. I know you're not arguing in good faith. I'll ask you this in good faith. Support the channel if you would. Make sure you guys like Rumble videos. Make sure you're liking our YouTube videos.

I will not leave you without a palate cleanse baby birds. Here we go. This is a fake AI generated clip of Don Rickles. If we had him today he would

have said these things. I stole this from the Dilly mean team, which I'm not a big fan of Dilly, but it doesn't necessarily mean he's the one who created this. And it is funny. Nobody cares about a government shutdown. It's the most work they've ever done by not doing work. Shut down huh? I love it. First time the government saved money by doing nothing. Keep it closed. It's the most work they've ever done. And the Democrats, God bless them, they're heartbroken.

Not for you, not for me, not for Americans. No, they're crying for the illegals. They throw a shutdown Fiesta in their honor. Ole, pass the guacamole. You've seen the memes. Democrats and sombreros. Perfect. They look like the mariachi band at a funeral. Everyone's crying, nobody's working, and the bill still comes to you And Chuck Schumer. You look terrific in a sombrero. Finally, a hat big enough to hide that face. Mazel tov. Now that's it for today folks.

It's going to be an interesting week. God bless you. Look forward to seeing you again tomorrow, 09/30 Eastern Time here at the Kyle Seraphin Show. Have a great one.
