TERROR in the TREES: Firefighters Ambushed outside CDA Idaho | Ep 601

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 June the 30th, last day of the month running right into the

4th of July week. And I hope we have an interesting show put together for you today. Some tragedy for sure. We're gonna be discussing the situation out in Kootenai County, Idaho, where there was a shooting north of Coeur d'Alene out in the woods of a terror from the tree line sort of situation. We'll, we'll play some of the 911 footage or calls. We're going to play you the dispatch from the firefighters

when they were caught. This was resolved with this, the shooter being shot dead or killing himself. Hard to say right now. Still waiting on more details coming out of that. But it is an interesting reminder that you don't have to just be in an urban area to face a an overwhelmingly terrifying threat, that it could come from anywhere. It's a reminder that you are responsible for your own safety. Guys should probably be carrying

a weapon system. If you don't know how to do that, now's a great time, maybe 4th of July weekend as we celebrate freedom, independence from a king. Take it on yourself. Take on that responsibility of being an armed citizen. Start getting it right. If you're not doing it already, many of you already are. All right, before we get into any of the stuff there, we're going to talk about the big beautiful bill. We're going to talk about socialist, democratic socialist.

I love that they put the word democratic in front of the word socialist. I don't know why, but mainstream media insists on using a democratic socialist as in they don't want to just like grab everything and do a government central authoritarian thing, which is what they want to do. They just want to vote for that and then do it anyway. Kind of just an interesting distinction. Couple of examples of Donald Trump was right kind of fun.

The things that he tends to be right on are often related to the economy. They're often related to his predictions on foreign policy in the way that he manipulates other countries or works with them. I thought that was kind of good. So I've got some kind of like some good checks on that as well. You know, kind of a mixed bag of information that's going on out there in the world and Democrats are still not really sure what they want to get behind. This Democrat socialist energy

is exciting. But how do you sell that to the the millionaires and the billionaires when the guy says the billionaires shouldn't even exist, you know, kind of Bernie Sanders style. So we'll get into that. Before we do, let's talk about something that is the opposite of billionaires and the opposite of democratic socialists. It's my friends over at Patriot Coolers.

They are capitalists. You know, they believe in turning out a good profit and then you pay them for it and then you get to have it kind of that voluntary transaction. This doesn't happen in a socialist society. Patriot coolers, the website, Kyle, the promo code, save yourself 10%. If you guys want to go buy them. Today's Patriot cooler on the desk is a 20 oz cooler. This is the one we took to church.

It's kind of a kind of low key when you go into downtown Austin. My family has recently started going down that way. If you're going to go to downtown Austin, you don't want things that look kind of showy. So this is actually the same exact color as the interior of our minivan. Fun little note, if you want to get the dark Gray, it looks perfect inside your Honda Odyssey. Yeah, that's a little pro tip from us. If you guys want a great

product, great company. They support American veterans. They understand what it's all about. They make a patriotic looking product and it also has all patriotic packaging. Actually have some of my favorite packaging. I always want to hold on to their boxes because they're red, white and they're blue. Even the way that they design their product. There are 13 bars on here. There are 50 stars on the bottom, which I well, I guess I could show it to you like this

as can see it right there. They're right in the glare of the light. Boom, they make it so that they remind you that this is a patriotic sort of thing that you're buying and not not the alternate, not some Yeti, not some Stanley, not some other nonsense. Check them out there. Our longest sponsor. They have been keeping the Kyle Serif and show on the air since the beginning, going back to February of 23. Really appreciate them and happy 4th of July to the folks at

Patriot coolers. If you guys want to ring in the the freedom and the fireworks and all of that with a with a new cooler that you're going to be using for many years to come check it out. It says patriot right on the front says patriot right on the lid when you lift it up. Let's everyone know what you're all about. All right, let's get into this today. Let's get into it and by the way, link in the show description there. Let's start with today.

We're going to deal with the big beautiful bill right up front. I probably could actually just like talk about, I could probably talk about product stuff like all day long. My favorite products are my favorite things. If people ever get me cornered in reality, like you, you find out they're like, hey, like, is that a gun belt? And it's like, oh, you ought to know about my gun belt.

Like I'll tell you about all the things that I own and the story behind them and why I have them and what I paid for them and how I like I that's the kind of thing that I remember. It's like a very masculine. It's the opposite of what I found women talking about. They talk about like the relationship and the, and their relationship to a thing. Like I'm about the thing, the thing.

Anyway, Speaking of the thing, the thing, let's talk about this big beautiful bill, which is divided both Republicans. It is divided Democrats, and it is disappointing. At the very minimum, Donald Trump aims to change the nation and further cement his power as a deadline looms for the big beautiful bill. This is coming from CBS News. And yeah, OK, so this is going to be a marathon, what everyone keeps referring to as a vote a thon.

First of all, over the weekend, Chuck Schumer insisted that the Senate read the bill in its entirety. And this was a big controversy that they actually read the 900 plus pages of this bill out loud. I don't know why it was a controversy. It was not clear to me what was controversial about that. It's probably the first time anybody actually read the damn

thing cover to cover. But of course, nobody sat in there and listened to it. Senate's expected to kicked off what is referred to as a marathon session on Monday after the chamber debated the president's massive tax bill into the wee hours of the morning. It's Republicans worked to pass the centerpiece legislation, Mr.

Trump's second term agenda. The House narrowly passed it last month, and Senate Republicans have been working to put their mark of legislation treading carefully so as to not throw off the delicate balance in the lower house. The House will then need to approve the Senate's changes before the bill can head to the president's desk to be able to sign. There's a self-imposed deadline of July the 4th to get this measure signed. So couple things that were in here that have been removed.

One of them is good. There was an opportunity to sell land, public land, and I guess it was being championed by Based Mike Lee. You guys know him. He is the senator from Utah. And Based Mike Lee had to issue the following statement. Over the past several weeks, I've been listening to a lot of members of the community and local leaders and stakeholders across the country. While there's been a tremendous amount of misinformation, in some cases outright lies about my bill.

This was a bill selling off land the American people owned. Many people brought forward sincere concerns, and because of the strict constraints of the budget reconciliation process, I'm unable to secure clear, enforceable safeguards to guarantee that these lands would be sold only to American families and not to the Chinese, not to Black Rock, and not to any foreign interest. And for that decision or for that reason, I've decided to withdraw the federal land sales

provision from the bill. There's more to it if you guys want to go to his Twitter and read it. So political pressure works and it works on these people, these people who if they hear enough constituents clattering about the things that they don't like, then you'll get things withdrawn. That was a really awful provision, selling off the private lands.

And interestingly enough, the claim was, is that it was going to go to benefit these large like land holding entities again, BlackRock and Vanguard and some of these other sort of investment areas that would be able to go in and throw big money in and buy federal land. You'll be shocked to find out that one of the top donors to Mike Lee's campaign is BlackRock. That's what I found in Open Secrets. You guys can check that and see if that's the case that you found it as well.

But when I went looking yesterday or the day before, the Open Secrets were pretty clear that that was a, a major 6 figure donor to his campaign. It does make you kind of think about who are these people serving? What interests are they serving? One of the, one of the sort of conciliatory things that we were going to get out of the big beautiful bill was we were going to get a kind of a, a step back, a rollback of our firearms rights. It was going to come back to the people.

They had added something called the Short Act and the SAFE Act. These were provisions that removed suppressors from the National Firearms Act of 1934. And the the reason why that they were able to touch that in the 1st place. This is a reconciliation thing. So it's supposed to only impact budget and taxes is that there was a taxation associated with

owning A suppressor. If you guys have never gone out and bought an NFA item, if you've never tried to, like if you're not even a gun owner, then you don't know about this. And if you're a gun owner that's never bought an NFA item, it's always kind of been kind of scary and and off putting. For most of the time that I've been a gun owner, I did not own any of these items. At some point in time, one of my buddies who's a prior green Beret just kicked me off.

Actually, I think he's still like a reservist green Beret. He kicked me off the ledge and he was like just throw it in your cart and buy it and figure it out. And so I bought my first suppressors while I was an FBI agent. I bought 6 up at the same time. If you guys have never done this process, it's actually way easier than you think. It gets easier every single

year. And the reason why our companies like Silencer Central and Silencer Shop out of Austin and some other places that have really centralized the process and made it something that you can do. And $200 is a real pain in the ass to pay, especially when you're paying the government for the privilege of owning your own thing. And not only do you pay $200 tax damp to the federal government, you still pay all of your state

sales taxes. So whatever the sticker price is, it just jumps up and up and up and you're really just paying for a bunch of stuff. At this point, I'm about $3000 invested in tax stamps, which is awful because I literally paid the federal government for the privilege to own my own thing. And so they added this, this SAFE Act, which is the hearing protection part or the Hearing Protection Act, I want to say, and they called it something else.

And then the other one is called the Short Act, which was going to take what are called short barreled rifles. These are rifles with a barrel length and shotguns as well that are less than 16 inches. You can also kind of fudge that a little bit with like a 14 1/2 if you have a long suppressor and it's pinned and Weld and all this. But it was going to take all this stuff off the National Firearms Act and the registration. And so now people are kind of playing around with the idea.

Well, maybe we can just reduce the tax part of it. The reason they removed this from the bill, by the way, it happened in the Senate. It did pass the House with both with one of those, the Senate added in the second piece of it. I can't remember if it was cans or or rifles, but they added both of them into the Senate. They were debating these things and then the parliamentarian who's supposed to be a referee on whether or not things are in and out of bounds decided that

it wasn't. And this is according to the bird rule. And the bird rule is this decision that the, if you were going to have a lesser number of votes, remember our, our constitution requires that you're supposed to have a 2/3 majority and you're supposed to be able to get 60 close to 2/3, right?

60 are supposed to be able to vote, to be able to pass anything out of the Senate. But they created this thing so that they could get budgets through because it's so contentious how screwed up our omnibus build systems are that if they could just get 51 votes, then they'll be able to pass these budgetary reconciliation ideas. And So what we've seen was interesting. Aaron Stevenson sent me a little AI snippet, a paragraph today about the United States Constitution.

And what it said is that the the original delegates that created our Constitution, they spent less than 100 days debating and writing. It was a four month period and they only met for less than 100 days. I think it was 89 total days, might have been slightly more than that, but it was under 100 days to be able to put together the constitution. And then we spent the last 200 years dismantling it for all practical purposes.

So it's kind of interesting to me that the one thing that the parliament, parliamentarian, I really hate that term, decided is that this does not fit into the accepted rules for reconciliation. And therefore we couldn't get the thing that firearms owners were really most interested in. You're going to turn off a lot of gun owners and buyers. I would rather look in the eye of the enemy Democrats that think that they should outright ban our ability to own these

things. I would rather look them in the eye and know that they're my enemy than like suggest that there's a Mike Lee who's going to try to sell off our lands to one of his big donors that we're going to deal with with a a Thom Tillis who's going to go out there and and back door it out. This was always, I'm sure the plan, by the way, folks, this the, the inclusion of these things.

It wasn't going to pass reconciliation, not under the bird bill or not the under the bird rule as it's written, as I understand it. And I've had a couple of attorneys reach out and kind of tell me the same thing, that this was always sort of like obvious, it was red meat for the base and then pull it out in the last minute. And the reason, by the way, that the parliamentarian removed it from the ability of the, of the Senate to be able to pass this along. It's really simple.

It's because the fundamental nature of the National Firearms Act of 1934 and the tax stamp that goes along with these these controlled items, it's regulatory in nature and not revenue and taxation based. Isn't that interesting? You can read the plain text of the Second Amendment and know that you're not supposed to infringe. And I would say that an all reasonable person's mind, a regulation is an infringement. And so when they did this stuff, it's so clear that that was the intention.

But the parliamentarians ruling should actually lead to a constitutional question of whether or not it's even constitutional to do any of this stuff. In any case, I've got I've got Tillis, Senator Tillis's statement, he obviously is having a difficult time getting this thing through and this is going to end up ending his political career. It sounds like he may have been offered a position in private industry.

He's going to go and leave. So he made an announcement over the weekend that he's not going to run for re election. So you've got a Senate election that will happen for his seat after 18 months when he's done. There's a couple others that probably need to announce as well. But it is the big problem with these massive quote UN quote omnibus bills. I found a little clip of Tom Massey. Some of you guys like him. I do. Some of you don't like him, you think he's ineffective, that's OK too.

This discussion of what is the real problem, I think we can actually agree on, which is that when you've lumped in all of this crap, you're going to lump in whether or not we're going to tax suppressors, along with whether or not we're going to fund Medicaid for the states, for various things that you're going to put military funding and all those other nonsense. You're going to put 950 pages worth of federal legislation

under one single vote. Then you're always going to find things that people are going to say, well, I had to vote for that crap bill because otherwise they're going to crucify me about this other thing. And what we've really seen is that most members of Congress don't seem to have any principles. I get that that could be problematic for folks when they look and say, well, this guy is not effective, But you need to have ideological grounding.

I, I listened to Matt Gates the other day and he actually made a great point. Trump's bill does some things. There's some things that we would like in it. There's some, you know, funding for Border Patrol and deportations and all those other stuff. And that's great. And at the same time, you have to have a balance. That is the whole point of the the debate that goes on in Congress.

You have to have a balance where some people are ideological forces that do not bend so that the party doesn't completely lose access to the anchor. Massey's explaining the the way that they leverage a lot of these people and quote and quote put them over the barrel. And he's not wrong here, folks.

It's it's frustrating to see that that is someone that you're going to go and attack when the real problem is the same reason why the the Matt Gaetz and company had a vacation of the of the seat, the speaker's seat with Kevin McCarthy. In theory, we were supposed to get single item appropriation

bills. In other words, Congress would take all of the monies that they wanted to appropriate to a single thing at a time, like whatever that goal or project was, and they allotted that money specifically. That's the hard work of doing the job of a legislator. It doesn't sound like fun. I'm not interested in doing that. I don't think many of you would be either writing up funding bills individually and then

passing them. So what they do is they skirt around this, They do theater, they do all of these stupid hearings that we continue to see. And then you get this kind of stuff where they all come together and go, oh, crap, We have this deadline that we made-up for ourselves and we all have to pass, by the way, screw you on the guns and screw you on the freedoms and screw you on the national debt forever, that kind of thing. So here's a little Massey clip. He's talking to Theo Von.

This may be a comedian, but I think they're talking about something that that is it's graspable by most people. I'll tell you right now, it's this is this would be 50% of solving the problem. Get rid of the giant bills. OK, The omnibus bills, the continuing resolutions and even the big beautiful bill. Bring up omnibus bill. We looked it up the other day when Mr. Vance was here, but I

just want to go over it again. And omnibus bill is proposed law that covers a number of diverse or unrelated topics. So it's not even really fair because you only get one vote on the bill, correct? And, and, and so typically an omnibus bill, it includes at least 12 other bills. Why not put that shit on the floor one at a time? I agree. And and then that way your, you can go to your representative or your senators and say, why did you vote for that? Right now?

They can say, well, Theo, I had to vote for it. I had a pay raise for soldiers, right? They literally will put a pay raise for soldiers in every freaking giant bill so that if you vote against it, you have to go back home and watch TV ads that say he voted against a pay raise for the soldiers, right? Even though he may have voted for 90 other amazing things on the bill, right?

Right. And that was the one, that was one thing that was tied in there that if you went this way, you know, it may have been like oxygen for grandmothers, right? Literally, there probably is that in there, but if you vote for oxygen for grandmother's and you cannot, they're not going to give. So I, I what you're saying, I voted against oxygen for grandmother so many times, they can't even run that ad anymore. It doesn't even seem real.

So the, the, the structure of the problem is really clear. It's that you have unelected people. This is going to be your staffers that are going to be sitting there and servicing the folks that are that are running it. You've got judges that are going to weigh in and all the other kind of things they're going to say. Well, this actually didn't pass

legally. You're going to have lawsuits that are going to come in if somebody doesn't abide by the the proper, the proper restrictions that they've opposed on themselves. And as you guys are correctly pointing out in the chat, yeah, the the parliamentary can can be overturned either by the the Senate Majority Leader or could be overruled by the president of the Senate. Those are all real. Of course.

That wasn't going to happen though because they didn't actually even put this thing in the 1st place. And by the way, no Democrats are going to vote for that thing if it were going to be stand alone. Everything they want to do is to limit your individual freedoms, which is wild. It's wild. Do you remember growing up when they referred to the people on the political left as liberals? self-described liberals. They do the most illiberal things you can imagine. I don't understand where that

word came from. In theory, they're talking about some sort of like social liberties. Those actually end up leading to like, the lack of freedoms, and they are more than happy to restrict yours.

Very strange. How about this other little thing, Speaking of unelected people like parliamentarians that are shutting things down with another little kind of interesting moment where the Supreme Court has decided to do something out of common sense that regular Americans could read in black and white and go, yeah, District Court judges should not be able to impose nationwide injunctions. The issue is, is something kind of like about the certification

of class. Most people who've ever been involved in a class action lawsuit, you've probably just gotten an e-mail or maybe you got something in writing and letters. I remember getting one from Columbia House back in the day. You guys remember you used to have like the CD of the Month club or something like that. You'd go and you'd sign up and they would send you like 20 different punk rock CDs or 20 different like Doo wop 50s things, whatever. And I guess they were scamming

in some way, shape or form. So you would get a letter from the attorneys that had filed that it's certified as a class notifying that you might be a member of the class because they would take all of the different people that had bought CDs from Columbia House Records, whatever it was. And then you'd, you know, fill out your little thing and you'd send it back to them and you'd get a check for like $9.37 because they send it out to the millions of people, right?

Everybody got that. Now you get it in via e-mail and they're like you were part of the Apple whatever subscription service back in the 1973 or whatever. They would give you this thing. They would give you a time frame. And if you were a customer during those things, you may be eligible for part of the

settlement, right? So the biggest part of that hurdle and the biggest reason why these attorneys do it is because if they can open up the pool of people that are affected and certify as a class, we're actually going through this with the FBI right now. FBI employees should be a class who were discriminated against in the COVID tyranny of the

Biden era. It's it's pretty objectively clear that we would constitute a class, but you have to go through and certify and there's all this rigmarole that goes with it. There's all this expense that the people who are the original class actors. I'm actually the I'm, I'm referred to as the class agent because I am the classic case of all the things that were done wrong were actually done to me individually. So I represent the face of the class.

They can put my name on the front of it versus fill in the blank Attorney general in the case of Garland. Now it'll be under Bondi. Whatever, right? The issue with the nationwide injunction is, is that they had basically assume class status for the country that they are all going to be constituting a class without going through any of the issues of certifying as a class.

And on Friday, the Supreme Court finally handed down a ruling 63 ruling in favor of the Trump administration, one of his day one executive orders that effectively said that it would end birthright citizenship, which he probably can't do. The District Court judge can't make that decision is what they've decided. Now the real fireworks out of it came when they went and did some analysis back, not just like the

what what the end up result was. And and everybody likes to know that District Court, by the way, even even the the quote UN quote liberals on the court, the leftists, they actually used to agree with this stuff because District Court judges were also imposing restrictions on the Biden administration. I was a beneficiary of one of those and even that seemed

ridiculous. There was a District Court judge in the Southern District of Texas who ruled a nationwide injunction on the Biden vaccine mandate for all federal workers had to be put down. Not just the members of the people that were in the lawsuit, which I was one of those, not just the people who were affected inside the Southern District of Texas and the people in the lawsuit that might be reasonable. No nationwide. And that was eventually affirmed.

It was denied by a someone in the appeals court that it was denied again by the I think a three judge panel. We have a real like long process to get to these sort of rulings. And then finally was put into in front of an end bank review of the of the 5th Circuit in the 5th Circuit sided with us, us being the federal employees and said, yeah, we do think it. And by the time you get to a judge, a judge panel like that, that might be the top of the line.

Most are not going to actually end up in front of SCOTUS. So OK, fine. But the first District Court that weighs in on it probably shouldn't actually rule on this. Now we got kind of a fun little clip of this this discussion. This is Fox News trying to cover down on this.

The most interesting thing out of this was Amy Coney Baird in the majority decision, lambasting the dissenting opinion of not just Sotomayor who came forward and and wrote the the descent, but Justice Katanji Brown Jackson or Katanji Jackson Brown, whatever she goes by these days, wrote some of the dumbest nonsense that you've ever seen. And I was perusing some of the screenshots from her from her idiotic descent. And the best was is that she basically wrote it like a social media post.

There were points in there where she said dot, dot, dot, wait for it. I shit you not. Like I, I'm, I'm flabbergasted that this dumb vessel is sitting there in that August court and making decisions that affect all of Americans. We essentially have one vote that will always side for the most retarded thing because that's who she is. She's a dumb Midget that sits on that court and says the stupidest possible things.

I saw a compilation in just the last year of the number of times where she explained that she didn't understand the argument being made and it's probably a rhetorical device. She was like, if I don't I don't think I understand your argument or am I understanding your argument correctly and then she says it wrong. There are like dozens and dozens and dozens of examples in just the last 18 months of her saying those on recording. She's also the most spoken of

the Supreme Court justices. She speaks more than anyone else. It's pretty offensive because she's the most junior justice. She knows the least quite obviously. And she writes things like a child. She was really excited. If you guys saw we did a video where show she was on Broadway the other day. And when I say she's like a Midget, she's like shorter than my wife. My wife is not even 5 feet tall. So anyway, this is Fox News talking about kind of the RIP on it and we'll continue to go

onward. I'm going to, yeah. I, I'm actually flabbergasted with how how stupid these people can be. And it just shows you that the, the people on the political left, particularly the presidents that have been appointing these people. Sotomayor used to have the, the crown of of kind of like queen dummy. And this woman just displaced it

without even trying. Mrs. Jackson wrote a dissent and she said, I agree with everything that Justice Sotomayor said, but I have to add my own two cents to this thing and boy is it scorched earth.

She goes on to say in her dissent, perhaps the degradation of our rule of law regime would happen anyway, but this court's complicity in the creation of a culture of disdain for lower courts, their rulings in the laws they interpreted rules surely hasten the downfall of our governing institutions,

enabling our collective demise. She goes on from there, but clearly she sees this dissent decision as something she obviously disagrees with, but as a very threat to the structure of our courts and our institutions as they now exist. I understand there is something that Justice Barrett said in the majority with respect to answering Justice Jackson's dissent. I'm trying to take back to that.

But also a reminder for folks on Justice Barrett was a law professor for a long time before she got into the world of being a federal judge. She also taught classes in Civil Procedure, which is one of the first things that I had my first year in law school, you get as a first year student. But it gets to the heart of how things proceed, how the court system works. So it does make sense now that even being a more junior justice, why she would have

written this opinion. And it gets to this opinion a lot of those questions that you've heard our other panelists bring up here about certification of class actions, It takes a lot of work. It is not easy to do. And there are cautions throughout this opinion that District Court judges, not now, simply default to that. Here's another thing that's worth knowing. That's Fox News. They're actually doing legal analysis, God forbid. And you can actually hear the

anchors. They get bored and they immediately want to pivot away and they want to go to whatever like the controversial slap is because they don't actually want to do like long term analysis of anything that makes sense. I'm going to read you from Barrett's majority opinion. This is one of the more sort of like scorched earth like smashes on Hitanji Jackson Browne's stupidity.

Tony Barrett wrote this quote. Justice Jackson, however, chooses A startling line of attack that is tethered neither to these sources nor, frankly, to any doctrine whatsoever, waving away attention to the limits on judicial power. As a mind lemmingly technical query, the post she offers a vision of of the judicial role that would make even the most ardent defender of the judicial supremacy blush.

In her telling, the fundamental role of the courts is to order everyone to include the executive, to follow the law, full stop. And then she says this basically saying that she's a retarded Midget. We will not dwell on Justice Jackson's argument, which is at odds with more than two centuries worth of president, not to mention the Constitution itself. We observe only this. Justice Jackson decries an imperial executive while embracing an imperial judiciary.

They also mentioned that she skipped over that part, which was a part that was part of the analysis that they had done and was part of the hearings and some of the evidence given forward. Because analyzing the governing statute involves boring, quote, UN quote, legal ease, absolute roast in judicial ways in the way that they do. A nice way of saying this woman is probably too dumb to be sitting on this bench. And they'll never say that

because they all want to end. Do they want to preserve the continuity of the actual Supreme Court? But at the end of the day, we're talking about, we're talking about a court that has some such guaranteed ideological actors. It's three. And plus they, they all side together, all three of them. I don't think I've seen any of them ever dissent from each other. Guys, let me know if that's the case and why maybe one of them just went like farther to the left.

But it's like it they've they've chosen their politics and they were chosen specifically for the way they're going to vote on all things because they are in lockstep ideologically. And it's, it's gross because they can't, they can't have a fair look at something like this where in theory they would actually want to care about, you know, the one thing that they all swore to uphold, which is the Constitution. And we've even heard them debate.

If you can debate what is a woman, you can probably debate what is words on a page that are pretty clear and black letter, which is why we're not going to get suppressors fixed, which is why you can't take these cases too. I've, I've had conversations with, with attorneys that bring lawsuits on behalf of Gun Owners of America and a firearms policy coalition and so on and so forth.

And at the end of the day, we basically allowed our civil liberties to be eroded over and over again by a Congress that doesn't seem to understand what their oath is and a judiciary that doesn't seem to have any sort of nuts to be able to stand up and do the thing that make any sense.

So before we get any deeper into that, if you guys want to protect yourself from government and from big tech, from corporate America and criminals and so on and so forth, you can check out my friends over at Silent. I actually brought the bag up here. I have the new E3 everyday. I'm backing off the mic here, the everyday Faraday backpack. This I'd I liked the way it looked when I was at SHOT Show. I love the way that it actually feels like I'm I'm such a gear nut.

This is now carrying all of my live streaming gear and it has a laptop so I can actually take it on the road with me. It's got room for spare clothing in there.

It fits a lot like a go ruck if you've ever worn one of those it's very modular and rectangular big fan fantastic product, something that I'm excited about taking into the field with me and doing some trips with if you guys have not checked them out again, check out my friends over at silence slnt.com slash Kyle. That's the E3 everyday Faraday backpack that I have. You've got, you've got Aaron there covering it. He's the, he's the owner of the company. He's showing you what it is.

It has two individual Faraday spaces. It's got a spot for your sunglasses that's padded. It's really, really, really well thought out. If you're looking for an awesome product to be able to travel with and you want to be able to keep your stuff away from like prying eyes and government agencies and people that might be able to grab access to, I don't know, all of the, all the technology that's constantly pinging out of all of your phones and your tablets and your this and that.

The RF signals that are constantly coming out there can be blocked. And they're all blocked by these Faraday products made by silent again, incoming and outgoing signals. They're what makes your vice on the grid. If you want to make them invisible from the outside world, you can simply just drop them in. And then you just close the lid and boomed. I've got 1 sitting here on the desk for my phone so it doesn't ring during the podcast.

Check them out. Great products, well made, well thought out, really well designed by people who actually probably carried a backpack before in their life. It's slnt.com/kyle. They've got sleeves, they've got pants, they've got all kinds of other technologies. You should look into them. Say 15%. Plus you'll get free shipping on qualified orders at SLN t.com/kyle that's silent with no vowels.com/kyle promo code Kyle again will save you that 15%. I just look today.

They've got the, the the backpack on there that you can find, which is waterproof. And I've actually used my waterproof backpack walking through a rainstorm. And you never know that you're going to be psyched about having your undies be dry when you go through ATSA until you have a waterproof backpack in a pouring rainstorm and you're like, I'm too dumb to carry an umbrella with me, but I'm not too dumb to

carry a waterproof backpack. In any case, let's get a little deeper into some of the other stuff on here. I wanted to also present this while we're talking about the judiciary, some things that are kind of like, I don't know, make a little bit of sense. This is the Justice Department pledging action. Finally, you're going to see people being defended in religious institutions, which is something that we've had a problem with historically. The DOJ was ignoring things like the face Act.

Of course, they're going to couch it under the terms of terrorism to make it into the end of our show today was we talk about this shooting, which we don't yet have a motive for in Idaho. This is a guy, the story here is talking about the the Tree of Life synagogue. That's what you're seeing on the screen. Justice Department and specifically Harmony Dillon in the civil rights division of DOJ said that they are going to be focusing on things that she refers to as a form of

terrorism. Attacks on churches meant to terrorize people, meant to deter people from going there and making everyone feel unsafe. There's a couple different examples of the Justice Department. They just occurred a 25 year prison sentence for a guy out of Virginia who was convicted in targeting a Haymarket, VA church, which is just in the DC area on the outskirts there, prosecutors found a written manifesto.

He walked inside Sunday church services with handguns and magazines and ammunitions and knives. And he wanted to go and do that canister, a bear spray in his nearby car. They also got a guy in Arizona who was doing the same sort of thing. He was planting backpacks inside of congregations inside of Arizona, in Colorado and California and trying to basically like leave them in fear of a of an explosive device, which reminded me that nobody has caught the pipe

bomber yet. So if you are going to go leave an explosive device somewhere, I'm not making this recommendation, but I did say it on social media early this weekend. You know, there are places where you can safely apparently just leave a pipe bomb and never have to worry about anyone coming after you. That would be in Washington, DC, one of the most surveilled cities in America. You can get away with doing that. But our DOJ is going to crack down on the people going after churches.

That's good. My family and I started going to the a little bit more traditional, we'll say Latin Mass that happens down at the the Cathedral in Austin. And we went to a couple of different ones, an afternoon and A and a morning over the last two weekends. And there is something to be said about stepping back into

that, that moment. But it also, and that moment means, like when you walk into a Mass where they're speaking Latin the way they did 1000 years ago, the way they did 1500 years ago, it does feel like you're connecting with a tradition. You should be able to be in that space and not be worried that someone is going to walk in and take potshots or try to destroy the outside of the facility and spray paint it and so on. And that is something that disappeared over the last four years.

If you guys have seen the violations of the FACE Act, I had somebody approach me and say, like, you know, you must approve the Biden administration. Like, consider who you're talking to. One of the the allegations that I made was that the FBI had completely targeted speech specifically, not just traditional Latin Mass, which has made me more interested in it. In fact, I think the FBI made a big mistake with that sort of infiltration attempt.

What that they were putting out there or the idea that you could mitigate white supremacy, by the way, not all white people when you go into the Latin Mass in Austin, TX, probably not the same anywhere. But the idea that you could mitigate white supremacy by putting sources into traditional Latin mash parishes or traditional Latin Mass congregations, It's absurd. And what's the opportunity cost?

The opportunity cost is like paying attention to, I don't know, like actual hate groups and actual A holes doing stuff like this. The if you follow the Southern Poverty Law Center's hate map to try to generate your cases, then you have an FBI that's serving like this ideological master and not the one that should be out there. In theory, we actually should be paying attention to like what do bad people do? Did they break the law? It doesn't matter whether we like it or not.

If they were burning down abortion clinics and we don't like abortion clinics, we still don't think that they should be going after that. So face that violation. Get them. But if they're going into a, let's say, Catholic Church in San Francisco, CA, like we saw in 2020 and 21, and they're disrupting and they're spraying spray paint or they're scaring people or they're stopping people from their ability to worship as defined by the statute, why were there no prosecutions?

So at least Harmony Dillon is doing a good job. I think she's one of the wins that has been in the Trump administration. And if you guys watched our episode 600 over the weekend, we had Ron Coleman talking about a couple things that might actually stop a lot of this. And the simplest answer is we just had people dressing like

grown-ups. It's hard to act like a complete buffoon and, you know, run around with pride flags or try to chain close the doors of a church or graffiti things if you're wearing a suit and you look like a grown up. So his answer to a lot of the stuff was like, maybe you just start trying to enforce some standards, Which is to say, if we actually had shame and people could look like ridiculous fools, you'd go out there and realize that you look like a

ridiculous fool. You can't be in public and you're not taken seriously. Maybe these people would actually straighten their act up. Kind of an interesting thought. In any case, we're seeing that Speaking of people that are not got their act up and do not have things serious, we got this guy going on still. And I think this might be one of my funniest and favorite stories of the last year, the story of Zoran Mandami.

I'm not from New York. I don't actually care who's the mayor of New York, but I am fascinated with who might be the mayor when it's this guy. By the way, the woman that's standing to the right, if you're looking on the screen right now, has like a pretty deep cleavage cut. And for some reason, it feels like that's very immodest for a guy who's supposedly a traditional Muslim. Kind of funny to see he's willing to like bend the rules.

So I don't know how good of a Muslim or how how austere or practicing he is. There's very, very amusing things about a man who steps forward and says we should not have billionaires in a city that gave us the current president who's a billionaire in a city that is full of multiple billionaires in the center of American finance.

In many ways, there's a reason why the Southern District of New York and the New York field office is one of the more powerful and it's one of the most important for white collar fraud investigations because all the centers of finance are in New York. And this is a guy saying that we shouldn't have billionaires in that city or at all. And again, as I told you, they really key in on this idea that he's a democratic socialist. He's democratically in favor of

taking your stuff. It turns out the founders of this country had some real strong theories on democracy and what you can and can't do and why maybe democracy wasn't the right answer. They did think that the people should have a say, but like sort of like dispassionately and educated. And that was actually the key.

I've got some fun little quotes from people like Alexander Hamilton who are talking about the that fundamental idea that if our population is educated, if they understand the nature of what it is that they want and what is being proposed, you know, like not a 950 page bill that nobody can digest, but like a something that you could go, hey, do you want this kind of money going to this kind of thing? And people would go yay or nay. And my representative should

answer accordingly. Then you're fine. Or you could just stuff it full of like pork and nonsense and say you voted against, you know, pay raises for soldiers like Tom Massey was indicating. Anyway, here is this guy discussing why we shouldn't have billionaires. Of course it was fawningly covered by NBC News Go figure. And also he got an appearance on Meet the Press on MSNBC. Ignore the fact that the the audio and the video are kind of

dis linked on this. I, I don't know why I got unlinked, but that's the, this is the way that I downloaded the clip. So it's not your, it's not your eyes. You're not, you're not screwed up. Here we go. You are a self-described democratic socialist. Do you think that billionaires have a right to exist? I don't think that we should have billionaires because frankly, it is so much money in a moment of such inequality.

And ultimately what we need more of is equality across our city and across our state and across our country. And I look forward to work with everyone, including billionaires, to make a city that is fairer for all of them. He wants to make the city fair and he wants to make sure that these things about hate crimes are concerned. Again, we talked about how the Justice Department is going out there and saying that they're going to defend people in

churches. That sounds like it kind of aligns with what this guy's saying. It turns out he doesn't actually have to have any consistency across the board because he's going to resist the Trump administration. But the Trump administration is saying a lot of the same things that he is at least talking about protecting voting groups that he wants to get.

This guy got a lot of young Jewish people to vote for him, even though he's sort of like an anti Zionist Free Palestine, you know, it doesn't seem to have any guiding principles here. He is talking about stopping people from danger and hate speech and using the police that he wants to defund to do police things to protect folks. The same way you just heard Harley Harmony Dylan doing over at DOJ.

And I know that Jewish New Yorkers, like Jewish Americans, are fearful in this moment of anti-Semitism. They're fearful especially after the horrific attacks that we saw in Washington, DC and in Boulder, Co. And they're fearful also in conversations that I have heard

myself about life in this city. And I spoke to a Jewish man in Williamsburg not too many weeks ago who told me about the fact that he now locks the door that he used to close that he used to keep open for for years because of a fear of who may come in.

I spoke to a friend of mine after October 7th who told me about going to his synagogue for Shabbat services and hearing the door open behind him and turning around with a tremor going up his back, not knowing who was walking in and what they wished for them. And ultimately, it's through the conversations I've had with Jewish New Yorkers that I have developed a proposal for the Department of Community Safety that would include an 800% increase in funding for hate

crime prevention programs. Because ultimately we cannot simply say that anti-Semitism has no home in this city or no place in this country. We have to do more than talk about it, we have to tackle it. And that's what we will do. Through this funding and through this commitment, we will root out bigotry across the five boroughs. You're going to get rid of racism and bigotry in New York. I'm not sure the government is the the proper entity for that.

I don't think it actually has the power or the ability to. You wonder how someone like this can actually get voted to the top of the top of the Democrat primary ticket. It's because people are dumb. This is not a New Yorker. This woman that you're about to hear from, she's been in New York for three years. For those of you that are from New York, you know that that's not a New Yorker. For those of you that are from Texas, you know that wouldn't be a Texan. You've been here three years.

Like, welcome to Texas. Like, shut your mouth and listen. This lady is a Gen. Z person and she's going to tell you that Mandami represents a lot of the focus that Gen. Z is interested in. I assume that they want to stop hate crimes and violence and danger, but we'd really not like to say it out loud. This might be. And the up talk is is priceless.

This to me is why you get this kind of guy out there because we have dumb people that are in our electorate overwhelmingly not smart, not smart enough to actually have the right to vote. And I'm going to tell you my, my final take piece on this because

I had a quarter million. I had a little like viral post that went out over the weekend which proved to me that it's not just this lady in this age bracket, it's all age brackets and it's all people in this country have the potential of being really, really dumb and snapping to judgments that they don't have the information to make. Anyway, let's enjoy a little bit of Millennial or Gen. Z up talk, which is going to make us all on a Pew.

Aside asking people what they think about the upcoming mayoral election, how long have you lived in New York for? Three years. Three years. And who are you planning on voting for? I'm planning on voting for Zoran. Can you tell me why? Yeah, I believe in. He has a lot of principles that I really believe in. I like where he stands on freezing rent, making public transit cheap and free, making buses free in particular. And I really like that he stands for a lot of Gen.

Z beliefs. What would you say are the Gen. Z beliefs? I'm not going to disclose that because I, I think I want to keep some of those to myself. But you know, happy to have a conversation in private. I'm kind of happy to have like a conversation in private. Like, I don't want to disclose the Gen. Z beliefs that I just said because like, I don't actually know what they are. The Gen. Z beliefs apparently are that you just have no idea. Like, how are you going to have free buses?

You're going to now this is the party that cries about the, the wrongs of slavery, right? How are you going to pay for the buses? You're going to require the labor of people to drive said buses and maintain said buses and put and build said buses and it's going to be free. Is there anything that these people have ever seen that's free? It just doesn't really like it's like a Gen. Z thing. I went ahead, but these people, we need to just start walking

away. When people talk like that, that's that's Part 1. And then you find these like randomly common sense sort statements. I found this clip this morning before I went going because I needed a not like a cleanse. I needed to know that not everybody is dumb when they speak and they're young and younger than me and that lady's obviously younger than me. I watched a great clip of a guy in his 50s and you said it's really odd, like walk around and be like the old person.

And if you're over the age of 40, then you start looking at everybody. You think that those people, you look at that person, you be like, this person could be a peer to me. They could hold a job in the same place where I work. They can vote in the same way that I can. They can raise children. They can make financial decisions. They can stand up at a meeting. They can run for office. They can have real power in society and in many ways are a peer. But they don't look at you and

think, Oh yeah, you're a peer. And why is that? Because you have experience and they don't. It's real clear. How about common sense, which used to be just sort of sucked into the existence of of your everyday life. You were just overwhelmed by common sense before we had this Internet era where people could react. Here's the here's the problem

with the the viral post I had. I put a post out which was clearly a joke over the weekend that said it was Zoran Mandami, the guy that we're talking about, this mayoral candidate.

And it was a fake post that was generated by a fake Twitter account count meme generator that said he was laughing at the destruction of the Challenger in and the and the post was dated in 1986. And I had, I kid you not, hundreds of people informed me that the Internet didn't exist in 1986, that Twitter didn't exist in 1986, and that this guy didn't exist in 1986. And they were mad at me because they had no sense of humor because obviously that's the joke. The joke.

And by the way, my my quote was, if you guys listen to this podcast, you'll know exactly that I'm full of it right there. I said this post is, is verified Colon true? It's verified true. It's verified true that a guy who was born in 1991 or 1992, who's 33 years old, tweeted about the Challenger in a negative way seven years before he was born, six years before he was born in Uganda. Because that's the kind of thing that we would do, right?

People were very incensed and those people spanned all age brackets and they were so happy to point out that you're wrong. It's the same people that will tell you that, well, communism's never been chilled. They tried that far. Like we have, like these Jansi, these Jansi ballets on these tanks. We control all these people because we have dumb people voting and a lot of this stuff seems like it's been pushed out in the education program.

And I had a nice chat with one of my neighbors the other day. We sat down and we talked about it. You can't tell me it's a black or white issue When you watch kids play. There's something that is happening in the schools and in these institutions that make certain people believe that they're a victim. There are something that are happening culturally.

It took 100 years to absolutely destroy, devastate and eliminate the like most black families to the point where they were by default having higher marriage rates and more stability in their families because they had so little. And they were trying to like climb out of poverty that they knew that the right answer was staying together.

And then sometime after the Great Society all kicked out there and the Civil Rights Acts and all the things that were set up under 1 guise, all it did was divide people. And like, then you start hearing some sane voices again. I told you I was going to give you kind of like a mental cleanse from the up talk and the stupidity. Check this out. This man has he's a rapper, which I probably don't like. His music, if I had to guess, is saying something truly clear. And you know what?

Maybe you have to leave the United States to look back in. It's one of the great reasons that you do a study abroad program. Nothing will make you want to live in America more than living in another country. In my experience, I never had any interest whatsoever in hanging out in another country after I lived there. I'm like Nope, I'm good look at this hold on before we go over to that. That's not what I'm trying to push. How about this button? Look, this is our chat right here.

Our our our stream has failed over on rumble, but it's working everywhere else. So you guys understand that's a rumble problem and I'm sorry that rumble is screwed up. I actually had a a couple of different instances. There may be some cyber attacks that are happening on the Iranians have said that they are going to continue to push on the United States cyber infrastructure.

But the end of the day, if you have a problem and you can't find what we're doing, like always, you can go over to YouTube and go to the other places. They're all streaming just fine folks on YouTube. As you guys can tell you don't have that issue. Rumble is a really inferior platform in many ways. They did bring us to the dance, but man, it is a bummer. OK, I want to play you this common sense because it is going

to make your brain cleansed. You're going to feel better about it and take a deep breath because not everybody is completely foolish. This is from a radio show, KBLA 1560. Looks like AM woman talking to this rapper Jay French, who makes an awful lot of sense. Again, that common sense, it's there, it still exists. We just have to dig it out and we need to broadcast more of this. You consider yourself a black

man. I mean, I, I'm, I'm considered a black man, just like you're considered a black woman, right? But we're just American. You said don't call me black if. We go to Africa right now, what they going to call us Americans? Black Americans. They're going to call us Americans. And so are you. And they do call us Americans when when they're here, they call us Americans. Now they call us certain things because we want to be called them.

We're like, call me black. They want to call you black because they want you, because you, they think you want to be called black because you just talking about black lives matter. And I'm a black and I'm black and I'm proud and I'm of course they watching you. And they're like, hey, that's a black person. But when they're talking amongst themselves and I've heard these people, I've heard their conversations in Mexico and different, different people. They call us Americans.

No matter where we go, we go to China, they call us Americans. It could be me and you standing with two other people. We we call white here and they call us all Americans. You can call yourself Irish all you want, but I'm going to tell you now, you go to Ireland, they going to call you American. You don't fit in their culture. You're not a part. Of their neighborhood. But you what is the advantage of erasing the term black and just calling us Americans?

Why are you calling for that? Because it it brings us to appreciate us as an ethnicity instead of just as a it it takes away the divide. The the thing that that we think is so different about us. You go to Puerto Rico, people are all kinds of colors. Blue eyed blonde hair look like me, look like you look like miles. They look like everybody. They look like Cameron Diaz there. They look like every somebody there and they still, but they call themselves very, I mean

with impunity. I am a Puerto Rican. Let me back up at the beginning I said we have to know the difference between race, ethnicity, nationality, culture, religion, right? So in in your song or I don't know if it's in the song or on TikTok, you say that American is an ethnicity. It's our ethnicity, yeah. To me, ethnicity is where are your people? From this is our new ethnicity. Do we ethnicity? If you look up the word ethnicity, what comes back is

beliefs, sometimes nationality. Nationality is what your passport says. Ethnicity is where your people are. From no, no, no, that's that woman. Is so indoctrinated that she cannot leave it behind that if she went anywhere else, forget about what you tell people you are this. Is this like fantasy the left continues to have where it's like no no no, I define myself this way. Well, who gives a rat's ass what you define yourself as?

What you were defined as is what people all around you agree. What they say behind your back when you're not listening. How do they describe you? This woman can't get past her own like egocentric, narcissistic, whatever that is, that indoctrination that says this is how I am defined because I say it is. So we don't get to actually impose our will that that is a that is called pride. We're in that pride month was the last day, thank God, of the

pride month, right? We're going to stop seeing that I actually have a story about pride month. This just happened. We'll do a Pride Month story just one second. But all of that is to say, she can't get beyond the idea that other people have defined who you are. You're American. When you go somewhere, I promise you they'll call you a Yank or they'll call you an American if you go travel around Europe. And they know you by the way you look and by the way you dress.

It doesn't matter what color skin you have, black, brown, yellow, irrelevant. You carry yourself like an American. They know you're an American. They know exactly what that thing is. And this man is straight up, I love it. I actually like that. If we had more of that, which we did, by the way, have 30 years ago, it's probably the reason why Donald Trump is such a success with people across different areas, because he's not a conservative person.

He's a 90s Democrat. And that was pretty sensible and it wasn't really that offensive to things. There were things we didn't like about what they were doing. If you're really a conservative, if I had to go back then right now, I'd have, I'd have qualms, but I'd have less qualms now than I probably would even have with the Republicans.

Because even back then they had a little bit of thing that that common sense, which is like I said, I think I think that revolution is what Donald Trump say. We're going to have a common sense revolution here. A little touch on pride. We'll get into the violence thing that happened in Idaho. I think that they are unrelated, but it is the same message. Two people were shot outside of the historic Stonewall Inn following an NYC pride March. They were teenagers. Terrifying, complete

pandemonium. This is being covered by the New York Post. Two people were shot near the historic Stonewall Inn and Greenwich Village Sunday following the big pride of the big Apples pride parade. 16 year old girl, 17 year old goal. Doesn't that say an awful lot about a city? When young people of that age, young girls, they're not protected, they're not safe, and they're going to get shot in a thing that's supposed to be celebrating what? Pride, degradation, hubris.

Pride is not like Pride is one of the seven deadly sins on purpose. Officers responded to a report of shots fired at the corner of an LGBTQ plus landmark bar, which was hosting Pride celebrations throughout the day and end of the night around 10:15. Just a reminder, nothing good happens after 10:00 PM. The more old you get, the earlier that that that hour moves and the more dads sort of grump you become.

It wasn't clear if the shooting was targeted, whether it was a hate crime, whether it was related to pride, whether it was just some a holes that just pulled triggers. All of this stuff is to say that you could be anywhere in America and your safety is your own responsibility, your ability to be situationally aware. It's lessened when you're in a crowd, but it's also less than when you're in the woods. And if you're just not aware of what goes on, you could become a

quote UN quote victim anywhere. And that's the horrible story that that unfolded out in Idaho. If you were going to say what is the opposite of New York City, I would say the woods that are north of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho might be pretty close to it. Tiffany County is a fairly large area. They've got a Big Lake. They've got all kinds of beautiful terrain. There is not very high population densities. Spent a couple of days driving in a couple different times up there.

I've spent some time up in that area. I've got friends that are from the area, so I know how to pronounce it properly. I've talked to guys in the Sheriff's Department there and yesterday, out of the blue, 2 Idaho firefighters were killed in an ambush. They eventually found the guy on a place called Canfield Mountain, which is pretty inaccessible terrain from everything I can get and it sounds like he lured them up there by starting a fire. I've actually got the the

dispatch call. This was pulled off the the, the broadcastify website. So this is a screen grab Bear with me on this one, but this was taken at 4:17 and it looks like somebody grabbed this like as a screen grab off their phone. Listen to the the absolute horror there when I have buddies that worked in wildland fire and often times, especially in areas like that where you have the potential for for grizzly bears and some things like that are like actual natural nature type threats.

Not a person you wouldn't expect that, but you could expect that you might be cornered by some sort of an animal or something like that. They actually had guys that were assigned to shotgun details that while people were eating somebody was, you know, manning a like a slug gun because you just don't know. This is this is an awfully sad

story. But again, it goes to show you that humans, nature in general is fallen, that bad things can happen wherever you are and that it's not going to be specifically about whether you're an urban or rural. It's not going to be about whether you're a conservative person or you're not like the nature of man is fallen. We all need more than what we've got here.

This is this is a truly sad situation and we'll read more about it. I'm going to tell you something that did that occurred to me because everything ends up going back into my little wheel. Well. When we find out what this story was, I will comment more on it. But Will, I will say, before we get into speculation about what happened out there, there was a man that we interviewed on this

podcast. His name is Zach Shostall, and Zach was the SSRA, the senior supervisory resident agent, the top FBI agent in the Coeur d'Alene field office. Well, it's called a resident agency. It's a satellite office. He was the top agent out there and he was removed over a Pride thing. There was a Pride parade in the park in 2022. It was a pride parade that had some sort of like gender

ideology nonsense. And a guys like that were a holes that are white supremacists and or white nationalists or whatever they want to call themselves. Showed up from Patriot Front and they got out of a van, were immediately arrested. And then their phones were handed over to the FBI And the FBI refused to do a search warrant on them because of what Zach said, the agent said.

And by the way, I know one of the agents, I went to the Academy with him, said that we're not going to do a search warrant because we don't have probable cause. You know that Constitution we talked about earlier? They believe in that, unlike Ketenji Jackson Browne, unlike people that are on the hard left that don't get it. There is a constitution. You have a right to not have unreasonable searches and seizures. And so those masked idiots that jumped out of the back of a

U-Haul, they all got arrested. They all got charged with some nonsensical thing. And Zach was eventually removed from his job because the woman whose motivation was pride. Tracy Whelan, the assistant United States Attorney, he was really interested in hate crimes, not real hate crimes, but made-up ones like Mean Words in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. It resulted in Zach losing his job with the FBI. He was fired at the end of last year.

He was fired in like September. I want to say officially Zach, who had a significant tactical background. Go back and listen to the episode. Thanks, Rose. Who's put that out there if you guys want to go find it? He was an FBI whistleblower. He sat down with me and Jill Alton. We did like 3 hours stand up behind a countertop just talking while we're at SHOT Show earlier. I guess it was earlier what, this year?

The crazy thing is, is that you can't tell me for sure that this situation, especially if we find out what sort of motivation was behind this shooter, couldn't have been prevented. Isn't that what the FBI keeps telling us? They prevent all the terrorisms. What I do know is that a good, tactically sound, capable operator, supervisor that had the respect of the people that worked for him was not in that office when this thing went down.

And I also found out that somebody didn't have the nuts to actually call the FBI SWAT team to get in there because they were SWAT operators who are backwoodsmen who are previously experienced in working for the Department of Interior in those forests that were not called into action. And I'm not going to say too much more about it because I don't want to expose my friends that are working in these areas.

There are people that knew how to deal with stuff like that, that have been in that rough terrain and that is a very heavily capable area. So eventually they did find this guy dead. But I do want to play you at least the the the dispatch because I want you to hear what that panic looked like. First of all, good for the firefighters for calling it in. They were able to evacuate as best they could. Good for them on that as well.

This is an incredibly difficult situation, but it's a good reminder that when you live in a country that has a lot of freedom, you have to have a ton of responsibility. And there's probably got to be somebody, if you're going into the woods that's ready to handle threats of bear or crazy man, whatever that man ends up being. And we don't know.

As far as I can tell, nobody's able to say whether or not the guy was killed by law enforcement, which was my instinct, or whether he killed himself. There was originally a lot of speculation that there were multiple shooters in the area. That's very, very common in an active shooter. We'll do an entire breakdown on active shooter events. We've got a a local SWAT medic who maybe Kevin will come back. He did our our counterterrorism

sit down. But we can talk about active shooter responses as what SWAT can handle, what they can't handle, what you should be able to handle. I do want to do that. I've had a request to kind of push more on the Stop the Bleed and we will do more on that as well. The end of the day, the classes are free. They're available online. You can find them on YouTube. You might be able to find them on Rumble. We've even done them on this podcast where we've gone through extensively on the March

assessment. They were back in the early days when we were sitting in the trailer and I walked through how to do this. This is not crazy hard stuff, but if you haven't seen that before, check out like APJ Med Cast or something to that effect with really solid emergency medicine. Find something that's that does March assessments, folks. If you, if you are worried about being able to respond to something like this March, March, spell it out. March assessment.

That's another big sort of common sense thing that you can know how to do, like handle your own emergencies. Anyway, here's the broadcast from Kootenai County. Central BC, Central BC 5, Central BC5PC5 RC Come on, law enforcement right now there's an active shooter zone. They're shot. BC threes down, BC ones down. Everybody's shot up here. Law enforcement Code 3 now up here, 55110 or 14 up here. Stop. Get out of the way, 10 or 14 and your first 551 do not come up

here. 51 copies remaining. Staging Central from 550-1551. Can you get an ETA on Wi-Fi please? You're going to see what Wi-Fi has to offer and go and get them started. Also, if you can do a enact the MCI or the can you please I can copy a copying up the upper parking lot. Is that upper parking lot up on the Drew parking lot when he's law enforcement up here immediately law enforcement up here immediately copy upper parking lot immediately law enforcement.

All right. And there's a little bit more to it, but I think that's the relevant part here. So you guys get kind of a sense of what this is about. And if you've never listened to to EMS traffic, if you've never listened to emergency dispatch traffic, that's what it sounds like. It's really chaotic.

So whenever these things happen, if you think that you make a 911 call, you're talking to somebody and then like things start rolling because they understand they're getting mixed information, They're getting it over while they're driving. They're they're strapping on, you know, additional body armor, they're getting a rifle prepared. They're grabbing a partner, putting in the car, they're throwing out their cup of coffee that they were at lunch with or

whatever. There's a lot of things that have to happen when this when the 911 call goes out. And if you're not familiar with what happens on the back end, there's a reason why we always tell you that you should be self reliant and self responsible. Those firefighters had nothing like all they could do was cower and they apparently they were pinned down. You can hear it. Good on him for getting the information out on the radio. He calls in for no one else to come up there.

He's he's got people holding position. All of that is fantastic. That's a heads up move by people that are handling something. But that is, that is a truly worst case scenario. And if you've never seen the difference between what's called cover or concealment, these are simple practices that you can teach your children. These are things that you learned in military basic that everybody should understand. Cover is something that stops bullets. Concealment is things that make

it hard for you to see. You need both if you want to try to stop something from someone try to kill you from an elevated position, which is apparently what happened. We don't know enough about the situation yet. But what you can do is you can take away that like you don't want to become a victim of something like that. That means you have to prepare yourself. Now, an ambush is effective no matter what.

That's why they do ambushes. If you are not expecting to be attacked and then you are attacked, you have a narrow window that you were going to be incredibly vulnerable and then you can respond appropriately. Responding to contact is something that you're probably not going to do if you haven't done it before. But good on these firefighters for calling it out as quickly as they did, getting the proper information, requesting law enforcement.

You got people that are being held that were going to be rolling into it that could have also become additional victims. And you heard him say he wanted to indicate their MCI, their mass casualty incident command. So that could be that or it could be a multi command incident structure or something to that effect. MCI in in any case, he was letting people know that we need to have now a command structure that's going to handle this problem.

And almost every firefighting crew and almost every law enforcement on the local and has gone through what's called NIMS and NIMS is the national incident management system. So there's actually an idea after 911 on how we would handle this stuff. And the the problem is, and the saddest thing is, is that we do that so infrequently that most places never know how to actually institute it.

So they're always kind of making it up half ass as they go and they do an amalgamation of what they were trained on and like what the hell works right now? And all those things are just the nature of the beast. We do live in a free society, so you don't want to constantly have that police state sort of presence. At the same time, if you expect them to be perfect and execute everything exactly right, they

won't. And how many people that are out there in law enforcement right now that are listening to this have ever trained on a, on a active shooter scenario in a woodland area? Because I've never seen it done. So now you've got a new threat that you have to go out there and consider most of you do them on schools and and shopping malls and churches and large businesses and you figure out like where somebody might be and you go what's called direct a

threat. And you saw stuff like that that happened in in Tennessee where they did it correctly. And now you've got a whole new threat level to be able to do it. Like the the threat is ever evolving. It can always, it can always change and somebody can always have a new creative idea. I watched a Amazon truck that apparently exploded and caught fire in some sort of a battery incident that was in either Alexandria or over in in Arlington, VA, just outside of

Washington, DC yesterday. It reminded me of the pipe bomber thing that they didn't catch the guy. It also reminded me that we're all vulnerable because there's all these vehicles running around and like, you know, I've, I've legitimately seen guys that we were following for terrorist activities that we thought was going to go do a terrorism active, like he was going to go from interested to active kinetic terrorist acts. And the FBI told them go ahead and stand and wait. And we did.

We followed him around while he was in a flip an Amazon truck. No idea what was in the truck. So those threats can be anywhere anyway. The it's not to scare people, it's to say be personally self reliant, you know, carry things around like a Med kit and so on. You can see that some of our sponsors actually sell them. So check it out if you're interested, if you don't have that stuff already, but just be aware. All right, I'm going to kind of finish up with some sort of interesting news.

I think of Trump was right sort of stuff. This was just stuff that happened over the weekend and I don't want you to miss it because it did drop on a Friday, which is when the news would love to do this. Canada actually over the weekend rescinded what's called the digital services tax that they had.

They had started taxing American industries and they were trying to go out there and basically prove that that they could stand on their own and tell Donald Trump what they were going to do and they were going to take money if they needed to. This is part of the trade war that's been going on. This is all the sort of tariff talk, which was a lot of people were sort of clutching pearls and freaking out. I'm going to show you that actually the indication is that

Trump was right on this stuff. This is far less exciting than than shootings happening in the woods. But I think this is, this is what the federal government's job is actually to do, go out and negotiate things with foreign nations, trade deals and so on and so forth. The foreign, the, the, the national government, our federal government is never going to be the one that saves you in the woods. Almost never. It shouldn't be. They shouldn't have the ability

or the reach to go do that. You're going to end up with stuff like Ruby Ridge when that's the case because they're proactively trying to do the wrong thing. This is the way that you're supposed to spend our time. Donald Trump was asked about it while he was sitting at the at the Resolute Desk and he had the following to say about digital services, taxes and Canada, which actually after this tape, they ended up cowing and bending you.

Added to your social post on Canada specifically, why are you deciding to end trade talks with Canada and what rate are you looking to set? So Canada put a charge on some of our companies and Canada's been a very difficult country to deal with over the years. You know, we hear Canada, we have a great relationship with the people of Canada, but it's been very difficult and they put a charge and they were a little bit early. We found out about it.

So and we have all the cards. We have all, every single one. We don't want to do anything bad, but they have economically we have such power over Canada, I'd rather not use it. But they did something with our tech companies today trying to copy Europe. You know, they copied Europe. It's not going to work out well for Europe either and it's not going to work out well for Canada.

They were foolish to do it. So I said we're going to stop all negotiations with Canada right now until they straighten out their act. And of course, he was correct in that, because then the Canadians came back to the table and they rescinded this digital services tax and they went back and

resumed the trade talks. So all that's kind of funny again, the, the media's been trying to push this sort of thing, which is why they're cheering on almost all things that are, even if they're antithetical to what Americans actually want. They're cheering them on left and right and they're like, Oh yeah, this is what we want. They also were fear mongering as best you can.

You guys remember that if any of you guys have been watching the stock market, you're going to see in just a second that this is kind of funny because I got another headline to refute this April broadcast. This is like April 3rd, I want to say, of this year where you had CNN and others that were claiming that basically doom and gloom and your retirement account was going to be wiped out and it was all over for you because Donald Trump did the very bad thing of tariffs.

Hopefully some of you bought at the bottom of the curve the way that I did. I didn't buy a lot, but I did put my retirement, you know, last year's Max, the 7000 for each of us in. And guess what? Yeah, we're all back. We're back to where we started, if not again. We're higher in most places. This was CNN making their predictions that it was all over. And of course, they got their guy Kramer, who's like a pretty much bet against whatever that dude says. Almost every time that I see,

he's got a lot of reversals. I guess if you're a prognosticator, you're always going to be wrong. A. Lot out front tonight, the breaking news, a wipeout, 2 1/2 trillion dollars today gone in the route on Wall Street in response to Trump's trade war against 185 countries. And right now as you look around this ripple around the world, sort of it's like a tsunami rolling around markets overseas, obviously all in the red. And Trump today meantime was on the golf course.

His Doral Golf Club in Florida hosted the Saudi owned live golf tournament. So that's where he was. While he was on his way, he was asked about the crisis on Wall Street. A lot of people were upset today about how their four O 1K's from the reach. You have investments. I think the I think our markets are going to boom. Of course, the S&P 500 today, as I mentioned, lost $2.5 trillion alone.

Now America's economy before Trump made any of these announcements, started talking about all these tariffs and the way he was in recent weeks had a lot going for it. I mean, I thought that President Trump won in part because he realized that there was so much inflation. Well, they, they just gave you far more inflation. That was a shame. And and now you have people hoarding forget. I mean, I'll see you Costco on Saturday. I love Costco but.

S&P closed at a record high, making a sharp comeback after stocks plunged on April 3rd, 2nd and 3rd. Whatever that Liberation Day. The broad based stock index, the Ms. and P, rose 32 points, or a half percent to close at 6173, surpassing a previous all time high in all of history. It jumped roughly 24% since, dropping sharply in the days since Donald Trump announced his Liberation Day tariffs on April the 2nd. The NASDAQ went up another 105

points. Just another reminder that the so-called experts, they end up eating their words a lot of times. This is what the federal government ought to be doing, as far as I can tell, should be handling this. What it shouldn't probably be doing is your retirement account. You guys should take responsibility for that in the same way we're talking about taking responsibility for your

safety. So I found this to be kind of a fascinating little article here, which is that half of all private sector workers in the United States have no access to a retirement plan. This study finds Americans are continually incurs to sock away money in a four O 1K or other retirement plans to ensure a comfortable if not cushy time in their later years. That less than half of all workers in the private sector have access to one of these

employee employer sponsored retirement plans. 56,000,000 Workers across the US are unable to save our retirement plans through their jobs. And while these employees can in principle save their own money, many are forced to prioritize putting food on the table and paying bills in the present over building a nest egg for the future.

And they mention, of course, 4 O1 KS because they don't want to talk about the thing called an IRA, which all of you guys can access and every single person who is a private sector employee or if you're self-employed the way that I am, you can do that yourself. Of course, the the argument is that the government should come in and be the one that does it. And that's the argument why we need to have a Social Security program, which is probably the least efficient way that we

could invest anything. You know, where you have 10s of thousands of employees that don't want to answer their phones, that are responsible for doing a mediocre job of taking your money and then lending out to other government agencies and basically writing an IOU that doesn't actually get returns. This is the opposite of what the founders were expecting with our government. Social Security is the argument because private sector workers don't have access to four O 1 KS. Guess what?

All of you can put money away. Figure out what you don't need. And a lot of people, we had a, a long conversation. We continue to have these conversations with people. Whenever somebody says that, like, you know, the government needs to come in and save them. All you got to realize is our family went 14 months without a paycheck. Why? Because we made decisions that insulated US against that. If you don't want to be owned by your federal government or your federal government job or your

private sector job. If you want to be able to make hard decisions, which are incredibly hard based on principles that you hold and you got to stick with them and you got to do things that insulate you in advance, you can prepare and then you don't have to repair later. Half of private sector employees, all of private sector workers have access to using an IRA because it's built into the

tax code. Why these people don't think that they have access to it or why they limit this particular CBS Money News, It just shows you that we have a deeply dishonest press. Whether they're lying about what tariffs are going to do or that things are going to rebound or whatever else, they don't actually have the best interest. They're always advocating because this is the picture.

If you're looking on the screen right now, it says Social Security Administration and the federal building in New York is the thing that they have as their head picture. Putting it in your head. Private sector workers don't have access to some way to save money and therefore Social Security is the answer. Social Security might as well be the same guy who's talking about doing buses. It's the worst way to manage money. It's the least efficient and is the furthest away from you.

Because what effect does your vote have on Social Security? Almost none. And of course they they mix this stuff into the big beautiful bill as well. So anyway, just just in a little awareness of what's going on. I'm going to give you one last little story because it's good. And then we'll do something that's funny because why not?

I found this local news at ACBSA Child fell from a Disney cruise ship Child fell from a Disney cruise ship in Fort Lauderdale and right after she fell off the 4th deck the dad jumped in to go get her. Because that's the real answer for me. It was like, got it. OK. There's a TikTok video of it shows the dad treading water with a daughter in his hands. If you're a dad and you haven't practiced holding on to one of your kids and keeping them, especially if you have kids that

can't swim very well. If you haven't practiced holding them up above so you can hold on to them for long enough for rescue to get you if you had to go into the water and get them, what are you doing? Get to work. I actually try like I literally practice this with my with my infant. I practice with my little toddler. I practice with my like my smaller kids. I can hold two kids up. It would suck for me. It'd be a bummer for like a long time, but I could do it. And you have to do that.

This dad went in, He dove in right off the deck. He followed like right after his kid. I don't know why his kid fell off. They don't know why. That's what dads are supposed to do. Because you can't wait for the government to come save you. The government's not your dad. That's the real, that's the lesson of the today's show, which most of us used to know, in the same way that most of us knew that we were all just Americans. We didn't need any of the hyphens.

Kid goes in the water, you go in the water. That's what you signed up to do. So anyway, don't wait for someone to come save you and all these things. And it's, it's unfortunate if you find yourself in that scenario. Hopefully you never let yourself get in that situation again. It doesn't matter whether you're in New York at a damn pride parade and something goes bad, or if you're sitting there and you're wondering like, holy crap, I'm a wildland firefighter.

Maybe we should pack an AR in one of our bags so we at least are not pinned down forever. We don't have an opportunity because there's nothing more helpless than hoping somebody else is going to come save you. It's the worst. It's absolutely the worst. You don't want that. All right, How about something funny?
