Welcome Back, Steve Friend | Ep 195

Take a look behind the curtain with the real whistleblower, an American patriot. Prepare to embrace the uncomfortable truth because this program has no time for comforting lies. Here is civil liberties enthusiast, Second Amendment defender, and recovering FBI agent Kyle Serafin. Hello, my friends, and welcome to the Kyle Serafin Show. Today is Friday. It's December the 8th and it is a friendly Friday. It's a friendly Friday. We're going to bring on a Steve

friend. He's been on the road, but he is coming back to us. He's going to join us for today's show. We're going to talk about what's been going on this week. Feels like it's been a very busy week and I was looking at all the topics. We're going to cover a lot of ground today, folks. I get this feedback. Yes, it's from my mother, but it's feedback nonetheless. And I get this feedback that always says that Friendly Fridays are not my favorite. Most of you guys love Friendly Fridays.

She says. She doesn't get enough information. It's too much jabbering. It's too much cool guy talking. Where do we go, Ryan? We disappeared. What do you mean? I've just got this weird stream coming up. It just looks like there's nothing going out. Oh, I see you. OK, fair enough. I just got. I just got the flashing lights coming at me, which is like the the signal for complete failure. All right, fair enough. So anyway, that's that's the

take for my mom. And we're going to just push on because today is going to be a ton of information. It just went away. That's bizarre. Totally bizarre. We're we're playing with some fun tech issues today, folks. We got a couple of false starts. Let me just tell you, we ran the stream four times. We do this every single day, every weekday, and for whatever reason, it just wouldn't take and it wouldn't take and it wouldn't take and then it took. We don't know why.

It's totally bizarre. All right, let's start with the sponsor. I had my daughter come up here earlier and hand me a piping Hut cup of coffee. Luckily she didn't spill it because she had a spill proof mug on her Patriot cooler payload. There it is, the Patriot cooler. Go to patriotcoolers.com. Use promo code Kyle Kyle. Promo code Kyle saves you 10%. If you buy more than 50 bucks you're going to get free shipping. That's a good deal. Again, Patriot coolers with a promo code.

Kyle makes a great holiday gift. We don't really do holiday gets here, do it. We do Christmas gifts. If you're the White Elephant guy and you bring a Patriot Cooler, you're going to be the person that's bringing the gift people want. It's not going to be the White Elephant. Also great, 'cause this time of the year, it's nice to know that you're also sponsoring a company that cares about other people and cares about people.

Like our veterans $370,000 donated to Veteran Mobility Projects, helping vets who have served this country over there come back and be able to move around better over here. Making a wheelchair accessible, making them a peg leg accessible. that Lady who had a really cool kind of peg, like, I actually, I sort of don't hate the idea of it.

I know it's probably like the most horrific thing in the world to lose a leg, but like the people that have met that are vets that have one leg and are running around on that bionic leg, some of them are faster than I am. They have a lot lighter body and no muscle fatigue. I I don't know, Steve. We'll talk about that later on patriotcoolers.com promo code Kyle, Kyle, 10% off.

Go ahead and and support them. I got AADM on Twitter the other day from one of y'all letting me know that you bought another one as a gift and that you were supporting our sponsors. We do appreciate that. It's a big deal. Let's bring on Steve friend. Let's bring him on. I can hear him kind of clicking in the background there. There he is hiding in his new studio setup. He's got a suspendables flag. Welcome Steve.

How you doing buddy? I'm a little bit wounded that cross eyed Mama Bear Seraphin doesn't enjoy Friendly Fridays, but if she wants more information she should definitely tune into the American Radicals podcast. Shameless plugs are always welcome. Yes, your first episode of Americans Radicals doing solo with a call in yesterday. It was all content non-stop content. So folks, if you missed that you can check that out at rumble.com/am AM rad RAD Pod for

American Radicals podcast. And here is that host and my buddy Steve, Fred to talk a bunch of other stuff. What do you think man? Has this been has this been a busy week or is it just in my head? You know I coming off of the traveling for a week, I was just more into I I'll take a lot of stuff going on as long as I get to sleep in my own bed. That was that was good for me. And then my wife actually left midweek out of town. So I've been doing daddy daycare which you know you you're there.

Dads are the worst moms. But we have all fingers all toes. So she'll be at least not having broken children when she comes back tomorrow. That's the key. All present and accounted for is the goal, regardless of what other people may think. I agree with you, Dad. Best dad in the world. Still not going to be a great mom no matter what. Doesn't mean that dads can't overlap there, but that is not a one to one Venn diagram, which I'm sure Kamala Harris would

really love. Let's get a rock and rolling on one of our buddies who's been a friendly Friday. Guess let's start talking about a story that Steve Baker brought to our attention. I want to launch right into it. This was kind of a kind of a little ground breaking stuff to read. We're showing his Twitter feed up here folks. If you're not following Steve

Baker, the what is it? The pragmatic Constitutionalist says Thread. This anonymous letter on Capitol Police letterhead was distributed to members of the congressional press pool, and we're circulated by, of course, Jamie Raskin's office to other members of Congress in the evening of May 19th, 2021. But there's a few big problems with it. We're going to read you the letter because obviously you can't see it right there. I've got the letter full screen over here on my side.

So it just says to members of Congress from members of the United States Capitol Police, I don't know that you could do this as a federal agency if you could just write to your bosses this way. But they did subject January 6th Commission. There's no date on this, by the way. That's always suspect. Maybe they didn't learn how to write business letters. Maybe they didn't go to college the way, oh, maybe they just

didn't go to college. Because if you're in the Capitol Police, a high school diploma or GED is just fine. Just fine. Since we, the member of the United States Capitol Police that seems pretty presumptive, write this letter to express our profound disappointment in the recent comments in both chambers.

Minority leaders expressing no need for a January 6th Commission. The brave men and women of the United States Capitol Police were subject to hours and hours of physical trauma, which has led to months of mental anguish. I'm sorry the the tone just comes through to me. If you look around at the Capitol building, you still have doors that are broken. We'll maybe get to fixing him J holes. The windows are smashed, in some cases missing. They missed a common there.

No big deal. Officers are forced to go to work with the same daily reminder what happened on that dreadful day. Nothing like emotional language in a professional business setting. On January 6th, some of the officers served their last day in a Capitol Police uniform. Maybe because just doing their job was too much, being a security guard sometimes could have a little bit of craziness and not by choice. Oh, are they talking about the fact that somebody died but not

related to January 6th? OK, we hope that members of who took an oath to protect would at the very minimum support an investigation to get to the bottom of everyone responsible and hold them 100% accountable. The matter at the title of the position they're held, it goes on to say a bunch of other

emotional stuff. It's unfortunate that our quote, UN quote bosses, parenthetically Congress less you knew who their bosses were, are not held to the same state of that we comma the USCP missing a comma R OK, so other than it was written by someone who's basically a borderline retard and has maybe like a middle school level of competency when it comes to literacy. Steve, what do you make of this

craziness? Can you imagine the FBI agents in the like in any field office sending this up to, I don't know, the president? I can't and I'm a little bit confused. It says members of the Capitol Police. I have to think that this is just one person who then probably went to a congressional staffer to have them proofread. Make sure that the commas were in the right spot, or maybe make sure that there were complete sentences and not written in crayon.

Yes, I would. So it actually was written supposedly that's what Steve is kind of uncovered in this thread. So folks, I highly encourage you go to this thread. But yeah, 11 Capitol Police officer apparently wrote this with significant help from some member of the press. Was the allegation apparently not a member of the press that was also an editor, since it doesn't look very good and I don't know, I'm like, just. One for one, like what would be stopping me?

So I was in the Bureau when we were having the Hillary Clinton server investigation that James Comedy stepped in and said she was negligent but reckless but or not careless. Or however he phrased it to get her out of jail. Well, what's what's stopping me from then writing a letter to either call me or at that point the Attorney General and saying I'm very unhappy with this. We need to have a hearing for this or we need to have an investigation of this.

I would expect to lose my job if I did that, or if I disagree with what was going on from what my my bosses did to that level, I should just tender my resignation. You think, OK, so here's the fun thing about it. In my experience, when you are a federal employee, if you have a political grievance, which is exactly what this thing is, it's taking a political and partisan side, then you're responsible for shutting your mouth and doing your job or resigning like

you said. That's what the Hatch Act basically says. You can't get involved in partisan politics. You can't advocate a position that is explicitly partisan, which is what's going on here. They are literally calling out the minority party, which is to say they are making it partisan. It doesn't even need. You could have phrased this in a way that was nonpartisan, but they didn't. So that's very funny to me.

But the Hatch Act prohibits all only executive agencies, and I think that highlights the problem with the existence of the Capitol Police. Imagine trying to do the job of a law enforcement officer not accountable to the Article 2 powers because they're responsible for Article 1 powers. I don't even know how Capitol Police exists other than as security guards. And shouldn't they probably be an executive agency?

If you're supposed to be enforcing the law, that is a directive of being the executive because you're executing the law. But it's a little bit like being an intelligence gathering organization when you're supposed to be law enforcement. It's just completely out of the lane that they're supposed to be in. Or they should just acknowledge what they are, a security force without arrest authority and they can maybe do some sort of

citizen's arrest. If somebody is behaving in a way that is violative of of the law and then they would need to summon a federal law enforcement agency or metro police or something like that. They can then just acknowledge your security. They could be an arm of the of the DC Metro PD, which would make a lot more sense.

It's the physical building in there and DC actually is a subsidiary of the federal government and they get their funding and stuff from Congress. So that might make some sense. I just don't understand how that that agency exists. It's always been really dumb to me and it continues to be dumb. And this is one more example. You know we we talk about them being a National Mall cops, which is to say that the the Capitol building is part of the National Mall complex.

If you guys have never been to DC, this is a sort of a concept. They'd be like, oh, you're on the National Mall, which is just a big green space. It goes from Lincoln to Congress. These are the big memorials and then the big building there. So if you're going to be a National Mall cop, which is what these guys are, they have exactly. They should have Paul Blart type authority. They should have a Segway and they should be thought of in the same way.

They should have to wear a helmet to work, a little flashy helmet that's made for a bicycle and and then that. Could sustain a fire extinguisher blow to the head because we don't want them dying. Well, you don't want them hit them back of the neck. It turns out if you get hit behind that space or you get hit with a baton the way Steve has shown us, then that might be a problematic. But yeah, I I just don't understand why this is not an executive agency.

And it it, it points out the problems when we start crossing the streams of the Article 1-2 and three powers of the United States Constitution. There's a reason why we have an explicit executive, a judiciary and a legislature. Not in that order, obviously, but those 3 powers are meant to be separated on purpose. That's what we see a failure of,

I think, in this letter. And then also the fact that somebody takes it upon themselves to just like represent their whole agency is kind of kind of. All and they're they're also violating state autonomy too because the capitol police are setting up a resident agencies.

They're they're putting one in Florida because they thought that the the insurrection of January 6th was so bad and Florida had the most suspects that they were going to actually create a building in a a headquarters in Florida to then have people saw assigned to Florida to investigate. Yes, indeed. I'm going to have you adjust your pop card or pop filter on your mic. It looks like it just snuck up on you and it is. It's choked up in a way that looks sort of suggested.

We're not trying to do that sort of thing in this on this show. All right, Ben. Ben, kind of an interesting thing. I want to I want to cover down on a different topic. We're going to just move directly forward. Always funny when when you do an interview and then you make the news and somebody writes an aggregate of the interview. I know you've had this experience. We just.

Did a news. Yeah, we just did an interview with with Don Junior and folks if you didn't see that, it was a lot of fun for me. I enjoyed talking to Dodd Junior and then Revolver ended up carrying it And I think it was So interesting is that even though you and I have been out here banging the drum on this and it may be kind of old news

for our our live chat folks. Anybody who's listening to this for the first time, if you're just joining the Kyle Serafin Show, this is something that we've been beating the drum on and we can't actually say it enough. So I want to I will cover down on the the thoughts on this in just a SEC. But moreover if you guys are listening on rumble.com/kyle Serif and give us a thumbs up a like that is how we organically move up in the charts.

That's how we ended up as the number one podcast on the live list yesterday. And even in the the live streams that were recorded we were we were listed as #1 for a little bit. So that's pretty cool. We do appreciate you guys doing that. So this Don Junior interview, you guys can find it on Rumble, it's his Rumble page. Go to just type in Donald Trump Junior on Rumble and you will find the one. It was episode either 89 or 90. Mine is directly after Dinesh

D'souza. So I guess I'm coming up in the world, that's pretty cool. And then Revolver, you want to throw the article back up there one time. I'm going to read a little bit of it because this is something that Darren Beatty over at Revolver has focused in on. The FBI whistleblower explained the dark circular model being used against J6 prisoners. To be specific.

I actually think that it's not just J6 prisoners, it's all people in America that may be conservative have the potential of finding themselves at the root of an intelligence investigation. And the difference between those two, as you just alluded to Steve is a big deal. The fact that criminal investigations are linear.

I'm actually going to have you lay out your belief on, on the linear nature of a criminal investigation and I'll cover down on the intelligence since you you had a lot more criminal work than I did and I had more intelligence work than you did. So maybe you could just go and talk about that and we'll we'll lay this out for our audience as well as as revolvers audience.

So linearly a a crime occurs and then an investigation ensues and whatever that requires, you're going to gather evidence, you're going to interview people, get all the documentation, you write your reports, you bring it to a prosecutor, they can accept or decline it, and then we go to trial and the person has their day in court. The process at that point is basically complete from the government standpoint. And to me, the most important part is at the end of that,

there's an end. It's case closed. There's actually a case closing electronic communication that you put into your case file and then it just disappears. It goes into the to the cloud, to the ether. And you never consider that case again unless you're going to be reopening an investigation that you closed because you didn't prosecute it. But for all intents and purposes, the line has a beginning and an end.

That's it. Now the intelligence investigation is totally different because in this, in the case of the prosecution that Steve is talking about, there is an end goal. That end goal is either acquittal, A plea deal or a conviction. Those are the three possible outcomes that happened from that little branch, that linear branch that comes out from the original crime, but there's no allegation of a crime in an

intelligence investigation. And that's hence the circular, the dark circles that that kind of spin off. I like to imagine, imagine a a waterfall coming down, folks, and it hits the water and it starts making all those swirling eddies. That's an intelligence investigation. Something dumps in, it starts spinning, and all these things spin off into their own circles.

So the fact that Steve friend and I talk means they're going to investigate Kyle Seraphin. Now they're going to start talking to Steve. They realize that Ryan is the producer in the background, even though we don't see his face right now. So what do they do?

They start investigating Ryan Mata and they start getting all the information and they look at us as though we are criminal subjects, but they use tools that are not admissible in court and when you do that you are creating all these information only investigations. We are now investigating persons and not crimes and eventually should you happen to uncover a crime, whether it's related to the topic or not, then they are going to fulfil their other duty, which is as a law

enforcement. They will begin that linear path and construct the investigation. And what I told Don Junior that I think is so upsetting to most people, probably the worst part of it is that once you begin doing that investigation, you already know where all the bodies are buried. You already know where all the illicit material is that you've gotten through national security means. This is not what the Patriot Act was designed to do.

But once you do, you're going to write a warrant up, and you're going to be correct whether your warrant is very thin on probable cause or not. Do you want to talk about the deference that a judge shows you as an FBI agent, Steve? Because I know that is a thing. Like we've read some pretty awful arrest and and search warrant affidavits.

They seem light, but as long as they come up with the goods at the end of it, I think the judge is not embarrassed and they sort of just they just let it happen or like why is that? Judges are people just. They might be lazy people. Yeah. And. And they are, they're they're inundated. You know, you they they come in, they're like, hey, I got 15 minutes. I got a hearing coming up.

What do you got for me? And they do the same thing that most people do. I would call up on the phone and say, hey, I'm Special Agent Steve Friend with the FBI. And then people will give me their Social Security number because they just on good faith saying that the FBI, everything they're doing is for the objective good. These are the most competent, their premier law enforcement.

I assume that they have all the probable cause necessary for them to have drafted this and put it in front of me. And I I think in eight years I had one judge ask one question and it was just not really a significant, I was not like nervous about it. I think it was a clarification question. How many? Arrest warrants and search warrants. Do you think you swore out during that time? Ballpark Oh. Hundreds that's that's what I'm getting AT and and only one follow up question that you can

recall. Yes, yeah. I mean and and I mean the only other time that I could think of the judge saying, well, he's like we actually said, wow, you have a lot of probable cause here. This is a pretty good warrant. I wrote one in New Mexico where I literally had the judge say, I really like the way that you did transcriptions of the of the voice recording that you had it made. I could really hear his voice

all right and. That's good because, you know, the judge actually did his due diligence and then just hand it off to. That's right. And I write with ellipses when there's pauses, and I write with the, you know, exclamation points when people change their voice and tone. I try to actually mirror the way

it sounds like a writer might. I don't do atmospherics and talk about it was a dark and stormy night, and there I was, sweating profusely from my left temple as it rolled down, you know, into my beard. I don't say that sort of nonsense, but I do try to paint a picture because I believe that words convey meaning if you do it correctly. So yeah, there's that. But I've never had a follow up

either. I did far less than you, obviously, but it's worth knowing that you know one and you actually remember it pretty specifically. Yes, because it was an unusual case to me. It was actually in in the Iowa side. I was always in the Nebraska side. So it was even the whole circumstance. I was like well maybe the judges in Iowa are a little bit more scrutiny involved. But yeah, one time in eight

years. And then the other thing I'll add to your description about the circular nature of the the intelligence investigation is it in itself creates the process. It creates this because the process exists now, it's something that you can obstruct. So now that gives another tool in the tool belt of a energetic FBI that wants to then persecute someone so they can, I don't know, send a couple agents over to interview Mike Flynn on an intelligence investigation.

Right. And if you instruct the intent of getting him to lie? It's not a criminal investigation, but if you are actually obstructing that process, then you suddenly find yourself on the wrong end of it. I don't know if the statute says it has to be a criminal investigation instigation or not.

But that is a really interesting kind of, you know, point that I hadn't considered that they might be using these things as actually like a setup, as the perjury trap or as the obstruction trap, which 100% and and. They're going to be wide in their interpretation. They're going to go up and say, oh, Kyle Surf and I want to have a conversation with you. What color is your shirt? And you say Gray. And they say, well, he was actually. Black He's a Heather Gray.

He lacks specificity. A year ago he lacked candor. And we're going to come in with 1001 charge and a search warrant because we want to make sure we have the the shirt. So we're going to ransack his house, come in with the BearCat at 6:00 in the morning, and then what DC Circuit Judge is going to say, oh, that that that doesn't sound like it's not probable cause for Kyle. Syrup. And that guy is a real a hole. We got a problem with him. They're familiar with their name.

They're. Familiar with the name, just like Chris Wright. So we're actually going to cover more of that. You didn't, I didn't tell you the segue, but that was a perfect segue. First, let's do a sponsor real quick. Let's say thanks to our friends over at Patriot. At fourpatriotsrather4patriots.com/kyle Serif And there it is. If I could just remember words and numbers, that's the thing. The number four patriots.com/kyle Kyle. Check out their solar generators

right now guys. If the power goes out, what is your plan, especially when it's cold out. I just had my neighbor come over and sit at my counter yesterday and let me know that his AC went out and that is a major issue for us in the modern world. We are some gentle dogs. He works all day outdoors. He wants to come home, do something comfortable. You also want to come home to your food not being spoiled. That'd be a big deal. So check out some of these things.

They've got a solar go fridge that Ryan is showing you right now on the 12 days of Christmas. You get a special deal off there. Use my promo code. Kyle, you can take things on the go with you. Nothing better than a battery charged like self powered cooler. So are they in direct competition with our friends over at Patriot coolers? I don't know. Maybe It's a totally different kind of product. This thing is a machine that keeps things cold for you, that charges on a solar battery.

Seems like a great idea. Checks out some of their great gear for survival, for RV ING, their dual purpose, and then maybe for your kids birthday party. If you're my kind of guy, I'm always looking for a way to use

my tools. Sometimes those tools I'm I'm stretching a little bit, I overkill it, I'm the guy who's got way more gear than necessary for the for the moment that we're doing it. So check out some of the stuff at fourpatriots.com/kyle and before you go they'll try and sell you a solar generator as you just saw there. I'm not. I'm not mad about that. You don't want to go in a world without power.

That's like literally they've made entire television shows about what happens if we don't have electricity. And you guys have seen this. They are not necessarily well made. But I can tell you that the fear of human beings in the modern era not having it is very, very real. So Steve, you set this up perfectly and I think we're going to, we're going to show a tweet that I put out and then I'm actually going to read the

article. So if you want to throw the the tweet up there, Ryan, the the story of Jags Gagliano. So there it is. I just said retired supervisory agents, like, like Jimmy Gags, who's a former HRT operator. He was a supervisory special agent in New York and a retired AD, the assistant director of Criminal division, Chris Wecker.

They're saying the same things that guys like Gerardo Boyle, who had four years, and me, who had six, and you, who had eight and change, like all of us are saying the same thing. So when the retired guys and and the guys that got kicked out are saying the same, things weren't a real problem. This is Jimmy Gag saying what I witnessed at the FBI will be the agency's Waterloo. Why does eroded trust in the FBI matter? He wrote this two days ago.

I recommended it's on Fox News as an op-ed just said Americans are losing trust and confidence in the FBI. This directly impacts the national security mission. A staggering 63% view the Bureau negatively and the reasons are hidden in plain sight. Over the past few years, valid criticisms have been leveled at the partisan decision making at the upper echelon of the FBI dating back to 2016.

With the rush of Trump sham investigations, heavy-handed overcharging of Trump campaign surrogates, blatant uneven treatment of right wing and left wing protesters and rioters, labeling angry parents at school board meetings as domestic terrorist concerns, and adding big text suppression with 2020 seems disinterested in the Hunter Biden laptop.

And so on the Biden family's obvious influence peddling schemes in the laughably absurd Richmond Richmond Divisions intelligence product warning of radicalist, traditionalist Catholics, The FBI has been raising eyebrows. That is a pretty good category and we are involved in most, not all, but most of those particular topics, says many

retired agents. To include the author, have long caveated the criticism of the FBI by maintaining that bias and partial concerns or partiality concerns are related to only certain FBI senior executives. We justifiably lauded the hard work and faithful service of the vast majority of the men and women who comprise the street level case working special agents, but that's becoming exceedingly more difficult. He goes on to basically say that there is not a big difference

between them. And a lot of that is because of the FBI recruitment process, which you and I have covered. Long form, Steve, he said There's been a seismic this is Chris Swecker saying the a retired AD. So a senior executive service guy saying that there's been a seismic shift in the FB is culture from Jim comedy and continuing on with Chris Ray specifically because they're bringing in recruits that are more opinionated, more idealistic, more liberal, highly educated, more Ivy League.

And they tend not to follow the facts, but they insert their own ideologies and their own opinions because they've been indoctrinated in places like these schools. And if you're virtuous and highly educated, you think you need to do everyone else's thinking for them. What do you you think about that? Has that had the tables term now? Is the tide turning, you think? I don't know.

I mean, I I don't when I when it comes to these retired guys, you know, I've been disappointed in some of them because they're just, you know, they're collecting the pension and they don't want to admit the fact that the the agency that they devoted 1/4 of a century to might be evil at this point, you know, and and so they're loath to criticize it.

I'm I'm happy that some of the guys actually are publicly coming out and saying it. I kind of chuckle with these high-ranking former executives because I didn't realize that I probably actually have more investigative experience than a former deputy assistant director. Why does this word matter more than mine? That's right. We keep digging into their

backgrounds. You've got, you know, 7-8 years of actual investigative experience how you had what your last year was that Jacksonville. Not even your last full year. A little over a year, 'cause I got there in June and they walked me out in in September, so. Let's call it six 5 1/2 to 6 solid years of running more cases than probably almost anybody in the FBI when it comes to criminal matters, because that's what Indian Country is.

Oh yeah, seven years in Indian country and yeah, and a year and a half in child porn, 8 1/2 years. I mean, I've. I've actual investigative work the entire time. And you can't say that about these executives because most of them punch their ticket at six years, which means half a year of Academy then coming out probationary agents for 18 months.

By the time they get their feet under them at two years, they're doing 4 years of investigations, they're hitting tenure and they are rolling out like I was hitting my prime when I was at my Indian Country post. I was ready to go. I can handle anything. I knew that if I didn't know the answer, I knew how to find the answer. I had subject matter experts that were friends that I can reach out to. You know, all my friends had been either working drugs or gangs or whatever.

I had guys that were like you that were doing other Indian residents so I could reach out and do that game. That's another battle building the Rolodex. If it's able to call, you have to know. Everything. The ponies. Yeah, that and and here's the other aspect to it and I sort of came out of this way of thinking about it because we call it like, oh, you're going to climb the ladder, right? It's not really a ladder, it's more of a pyramid, right?

Because as you ascend it, it the your circle is smaller and smaller of your of your peers within the executive level. And as a result of that you have a small collection of people at the upper echelons that are politically captured.

And then the other thing they're able to do is as you go down to the bottom of the period where pyramid where it's really widespread out, you can compartmentalize responsibilities to the point where even if you're not ideologically aligned with the top of the pyramid, you your responsibilities are so small that you can maybe rationalize your actions and not take a step back and look at the whole.

So for for me, when they were saying, hey, we're sending SWAT to this guy's house, even though he he was going to cooperate with us, they said, Steve, you're just driving him. He's going to get arrested. You're just going to drive. It's. Just a minor. It's just minor complicity in evil. You're not really the guy who's going to be pulling the trigger at the end of the gun at the deck. Dropping the Zyklon B in the chamber, you're just putting

them on the train. You're just making sure they get on the train and where they're going. Yeah, you're just moving them to it. Of of perfect sort of segue to that. We've got a video here. This is a reflection. I've been seeing this pop back up. I don't know if James O'Keefe is lacking new material or if he's just recycling it because it's relevant. Both are fine with me. I don't really care.

But this video, number one, kind of a look back from some of the stuff that happened just as you and I were getting public in 2022. Here's a little video from James O'Keefe If you'll play video #1 Ryan So. What you're saying is the paycheck and the pension leads to the Holocaust. There's a reason why all FBI Academy graduates have spent a day at the Martin Luther King Memorial because they're acknowledging this is the penance that this penance that the future is doing for the

past. And in the same way, we all have to go and attend the Holocaust Museum. You spend a whole day at the Holocaust Museum with a specific program for law enforcement, with the whole idea that tyranny happens incrementally, and it happens by a bunch of people agreeing to small injustices over and over simply to keep their paycheck and their pension.

You take the pension and the paycheck and you'll walk it to whatever that darkest end is. And I don't have a problem with people who believe that they're doing the right thing. I have a problem with people who are doing the wrong thing and they know it. What is your message to the people in the FBI watching this? Because there will be a considerable amount of people that watch this, and many of them in the FBI. What's your message to those people? You took an oath.

You got to live it. You're the only one who's going to answer for it. But something is being done and it's wrong. It's your job. It's literally your job. It's within your job description

to stop. So it's it's so funny to me, Steve, and maybe not funny but more quirky that every single person that I've talked to in the whistleblower space has honed in on that particular training, that particular moment where they teach you that stuff at the Holocaust Memorial Museum that that's like, it's it's so impactful. I listened to an interview with Garrett O'boyle yesterday on Fargo local radio and he said the exact same thing.

And I knew that was the case because all of the whistleblowers that I was able to gather in my little group, which you are unfortunately excluded from, not by no fault, your own. You were just out there in the wind on your own and you made the same decisions for the same reasons. And we all saw the same problem, that if you keep saying yes when you should be saying no, then you lead yourself to be part of the thing that we were literally trained that you're not supposed to do.

I mean, you hate using the word literally, but like the training, it happens every single Academy class, you can't do this thing. They tell you that, and then they just go on and freaking ignore it. They do. And I don't know if it's a chicken and the egg sort of conversation, Did that trip impact us because we actually were the few people of integrity who got through the vetting process that we slipped to the cracks, or did that actually impact us? I I don't know one way or another.

But in other words, the fact that we all predisposed. To know that. Independently, though, we all came to that conclusion and we all specifically cited it. So it did actually leave a mark. On our our.

Our mental state, when we analyzed what was going on, and parenthetically, when I did my security division interview, the SEC D interview, and I walked out, my lawyer laughed at me and he said, you know, I think your one contribution to the FBI is going to be them canceling the trip to the Holocaust Memorial.

Well, between you, you doing your interview at SEC D and the fact that I wrote a letter to the deputy assistant director of human resources that said you should, you know, basically consider yourself like a Nazi, a good. I called him a good American, which I think is amazing. And I said you're following the same path as a good Germans. And many of those people felt the noose around their neck at Nuremberg. So not not nearly as many as should have, by the way. That's the other wild thing.

You know, the the real message of the Nuremberg trials is that far less people were held accountable than you'd expect. And that might be the that might be a failure because everybody is looking for compassion and we're looking to say, well, we just want to hold the upper echelon responsible. And the answer should have been actually, we should have hold the lower echelon at the same standard because human beings are human beings and all human life should be the same.

If you're going to round up the Jews or the Catholics, which they did with the Gypsies or anything else they considered under mentioned, threw them into the Degas chambers, like that's the same like if you're part of the machine, you're part of the machine, period. And that was the lesson I took from it. If you swear an oath and become a civil servant, the stakes should be higher because we're we're giving you authority that the ordinary layperson does not

have. And ergo, if you mess up there, there's higher stakes. It just it's a heavier sentence. It's it's a it's a bigger cross to bear if you raise your hand and swear that oath. And it's a it's a seriously cross eyed bear. It really is not a cross eyed Mama bear who I see joined the chat, so I do like a cross eyed

Mama bear too. So interestingly enough, that video that we just played right there, that anonymous video that was done James O'Keefe put out when he was with Project Veritas. Obviously he's rebranded it with his new company, but that was the video of all things that they claimed Garrett O'boyle did and got him jammed up and removed. And we we know it wasn't Garrett O'boyle and so did the FBI at the time. They knew it was not Garrett O'boyle, which is kind of amazing to us. It's.

Obviously not Garrett O'boyle because there was no scripture quoted. The dead giveaway would have been he would have quoted scripture if they'd even known Garrido Boyle or done a cursory look into the Garrido Boyle. If they'd never even talked to him, they would have found that out. Wouldn't. They or read. His. I had never reasonable combination request that was just scripture littered throughout the entire thing.

Non-stop scripture quoting throughout his entire affidavit stating that he had a reasonable belief that he couldn't he couldn't take the COVID vaccine. So fantastic. OK, so Speaking of people who did the right thing for the right reasons, we're going to cover down. This is kind of a sponsor read for Catholic Vote, but also it's kind of a shameless plug for myself and my request to you as watchers of the Kyle Serafin show. Ryan, if you want to pull up the the actual donate Catholic vote,

OK, so here's the deal. I will put this out there. Again, it's pinned to my Twitter page so you guys can find it. It's the number one tweet that I have poked out there. This is the 2023 Catholic Heroes Tournament. OK. And I think I'm the only one on here who has a podcast, so I'm cheating a little bit. The the button, if you'll kind of hover over at Ryan where you can do the vote now that's what you would click. And you what you'll see is it'll give you the opportunity.

Can we actually vote? Vote for me. Let's do it. They may tell you you've already voted. Nope. OK, We're not voting for Greg Abbott. Right. OK, We are voting for Mark out. Obviously, we're going to vote for Lila. Get over there. What are you doing? Yeah, Lila Rose. OK, cool. You can do it again. You can vote two times. Do it again. We're throwing some votes down the line here, folks. Mark out is our guy. Put two more for Kyle Serafin. That's. Right. Yeah, just keep going.

OK. Lila is our girl. She runs live action. So we're going to do kind of a profile on each one of these individuals all 16, because everybody here has a noteworthy story. Click on Brian if you would the the competitor from the first bracket to the first bracket pass without me even knowing. If you click on the person, you'll actually find out their story. I put a call into his restaurant and I put a call into Xavier University where Brian is a golf

coach. He, he's actually a golf coach at the at the Catholic University at Xavier. Interestingly enough my best friend in the world that I've known for the longest amount of time, who's one of the best human beings I've ever met, went to Xavier also dropped out because he got married and had a child and he started taking care of his kid, which is interesting. He went there on a full scholarship, folks. That's the kind of guy that he is.

And one of my absolute sort of stalwart decisions when I was younger was like, I want to be as good a person and a good a dad as my buddy Nathan. Here's So here's Brian's story. He's an ordinary Catholic guy. He's an entrepreneur. He owns a restaurant which was called the Copper Blue. And he put a sign up in there that said he wanted to vote no on issue 1, which was the so-called Reproductive Freedom Rights Act or it was called the, you know, the the reproductive.

It was essentially A codifying abortion in the into the constitution of the state of Ohio. That's what they were voting on. And he said, I don't want to do that. And some of his staff members walked out and they protested. And rather than cave to his staff, he shut down the restaurant. He just said that he's standing with the unborn and women. And the price was is that he lost business, he lost money and he almost lost his entire restaurant. Now that sounds like they're open.

When I called him the other day, they were bustling. And I hope that he got new staff that can accept the fact that the owner might have different political opinions. And if you want to earn money here, that's what you got to do. But good for him. He was a man who stood on principle. So that's the story of Brylin Brian Arlinghouse and we'll try to get him on.

Actually, if he wants to Come on, I'd love to expose all these guys stories in a long form interview 'cause I think you guys will enjoy it, but that is our little our our feature. I want you guys to go to the the Twitter page which we have pinned. That's my biggest following anyway. If you'll click through it and do your votes, I'm not telling you who to vote for. I'm just saying my pick to win it overall is Mark How, who we

will have on the show. He is running for Congress and I like Lila Rose. I think she's a good one. That's going to be a tough bracket for Mark later. And if you want to vote for me, my competition right now is a guy named Trevor Williams. And Trevor Williams is a baseball player who stood up against the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Also seems like a pretty good guy. Steve, you have any thoughts on the on the Tournament of Champions for Catholic Hero of

the Year? I'm I'm very happy that our voting patterns have been the identical so far. Just watching you pick those. So that was good. So I at least we know we're ideologically aligned. And then as far as your current competition, like, good on him. But he didn't give up his paycheck like Kyle Serafin did. So I think this is a this is an easy select vote, early vote often, yeah. Yeah, I think you can actually vote every day, which is kind of funny.

The people at Catholic Vote sent me an e-mail and they were giving me a hard time. They're like, oh, it's neck and neck. Sounds like you better promote the PA, You better promote it. And I was like, oh, he is. He is a New York Met, right? Like he's a baseball. Player who makes millions of dollars a year. He kind of has a following. It's bigger than Kyle Serafin's following, but I have a more reactive fan base, folks, so watch yourselves. Anyway, go to the, yeah, the

Catholic vote link there. I will actually put it in the chat here in just a second, 'cause I can and let's keep moving forward. Let's keep, let's keep pushing this along, some kind of breaking news that came out for the week. Donald Trump is going to be indicted for the 91st through the 130th indictment. They're actually going to do a bunch more indictment, I'm just assuming simply because Hunter Biden was invited indicted.

So when you indict Hunter Biden, I think that's when you do more Donald Trump, Is that correct, Steve? Tit for tat man, we got to make sure that we're having No2 tiered system of justice. There's no two tiered system. It is simply totally fair. Let's go ahead and bring up this piece from just the news, John Solomon. So this was recommended by Steve, he said. John Solomon's always pretty fair. I think he is. In fact he might be too fair in

this. The article from Just the news entitled Joe Biden vowed to crack down on Tax Cheats. His DOJ just charged his son Hunter as one of them. Sweeping jury indictment, 3 felony counts, 6 misdemeanors, all charges against Hunter Biden carrying up to 17 years. We can expect that to carry as much as $1700 in fines in real life and maybe a spanking on the back, but only if it's done by someone who is an underage prostitute.

Joe Biden made a crackdown. I probably shouldn't be that flipping and glib about that, but so be it. Joe Biden made a crackdown on tax cheating millionaires as a centerpiece of his presidency, even securing the funds to hire new IRS agents and auditors. And on Thursday, his Justice Department branded First Son Hunter Biden as the quintessential tax cheat. I'm not sure they said that. I think that's pretty editorializing, but so be it.

I think it's true who chose to underwrite his, quote UN quote extravagant lifestyle with millions in foreign monies rather than pay his debts to Uncle Sam. In a sweeping grand jury indictment, they levied 3 felony counts and six misdemeanors that charge up to 17 years in prison.

This is by the special counsel David Weiss, markedly increasing the legal peril for Hunter Biden, while also placing a dark cloud over the president's own political fortunes just weeks before the start of the presidential primary elections, and also just before we expect either Gavin Newsom or what's her name, Michael Obama. What? What's her Michelle Obama? Mike, my bad. Yeah, sorry about that. What do you think about all this nonsense? Are we going to see More Trump

indictments? Probably. Probably. I I do think that they just haven't thought this through from the tax. And all Hunter Biden really needs to do is have one of the Democrat donor who's who's also professionally a professional art appraiser, come in, appraise his work really high, He can donate it and make a charitable donation of his $1,000,000 Campbell Soup. They just threw up onto a canvas and then the debt will be gone. Solved.

No, what he did is he just got a millionaire to pay his bills. That's way easier. Isn't it way easier to make millionaire friends who just think you're so great that they just want to pay your tax liabilities so that you can continue doing like coke and blow and hookers in Vegas?

It is, it is. But it's clearly just they didn't think this out they needed somebody like Bruce or Phil to actually go through the fine lines of tax law and say like this is how you could actually get away with it. And and my other my other thought is the IRS must just not be good at getting rid of whistleblowers. That that must be it, because those guys are still working. Why do you think that is? Just curious. Well, I posted you this morning. I don't know.

Do they need a security clearance? I suspect they do, but my my thought is this. We're seeing that the FBI has basically hired a bunch of women to be in charge of things that are weaponizing it. I actually had a I'm not going to disclose the the party, but you and I both know this female reached out to me and there was a tweet that Dan Bongino put out about how people in the conservative sphere could be just as bad or worse when they're inside of our our own tent.

And theoretically part of our quote, UN quote, movement are, you know, coming after you. And they can be the worst. And my response to him was that crazy chick. I can't remember the movie, but she's like holding up a sign that says, do you want me to kill them? You know she holds it up outside the. Window. It's from the The water, boy. That's right. So, like, that is my actual instinct. If somebody attacks Dan like you, people in the chat probably are going to know.

You might realize this, but my loyalty to Dan is based on Dan's loyalty to his word, which I find to be utterly refreshing and unlike most people in the world, let alone that you know any, you know media circuit that he's just he's just a good person that does the right thing because it's the right thing. And he kept his word to me and to you, so I I love that.

And anyway like you know somebody his producer for the radio show Jim Farity would reached out and he was like he's like, hey bro, like be careful they're watching you. And I'm like I'm not joking. I had a Sam Elliott, you know, like another Jeff on there, probably. Probably not joking, you know, Just depends on what the threat is. If somebody made a threat on Dan's life, yeah, I'd go to war with him. There's very few people that I could say that, that I haven't

spent a ton of time around. Obviously you and Garrett, like, I'll go to war with you guys any day. I think I said that in our first phone call. You know, you pick the door and I'll go through it with you. I don't even need to know what's on the other end of it. Just tell me we're going and I'll just ask you, you know, whose car? Like, what's that? What's that? The four brothers from that Mark Wahlberg. The Mark Wahlberg movie. I kind of feel that way about it.

There's very few people that could just say, like, hey, we need to mount up. And I'm like, hey, is this going to be a deniable operation or is this going to be something where we're going to own it? Because I'm going to change caliber based on that. That's. Yeah, we, we all basically came to that conclusion where like when we found out that they Democrats had proposed Garrett for some some criminal charges because they said he'd lied in

his testimony. We're like, well, we're going to the compound, We're going to go have an Alamo standoff with Garrett if necessary. Just tell me what, what, what caliber that you need me to bring. That's it, yeah. Do you want me on Overwatch or am I going to be on entry and let's do this. So that being the case, kind of interesting there it is, See, is that not the most fun? Is that not the most fun response to somebody saying people are being crappy and and coming at me? I don't know.

I just I sort of love it And and then speaking about the injustices and sort of the sort of the weaponization and and the fact that we are dealing with a clown world DOJ, we're actually seeing a tiny bit of justice folks. I do actually see an arc upward that is somewhat reassuring. I want to bring up the story about Doug Mackie. So we're going to read this from Daily Wire real quickly and and here you go. So Doug Mackie, who many of you guys will recall, he was Ricky Vaughn.

Two point O he was making memes that were mocking Hillary Clinton and Hillary Clinton voters in the 2016 election, magically in 2021 after Joe Biden took over.

You've got the story where they went after him, they convicted him in federal court and they sentenced him to prison for memes, for flipping memes, which seems like it would be protected by the 1st Amendment. Brandon Dre writing here, who's a friend of ours and I appreciate this, a couple days old, but they've actually halted the sentence. He's not going to have to show up.

And what's very interesting to me, and I think it's most interesting, Mackie stated on Twitter, this ruling is huge because because it means the appeals court decided that my appeal presents substantial and debatable issues of law that, if resolved in my favor, will result in my conviction being vacated. In other words, if you guys don't know it, when you do things through at least the federal system, you go into the Circuit Court, which is where

the charges happen. That's where you actually argue the facts of the case, but then you get a chance to appeal. And the appeals court, which is above it, actually argues whether or not the rule and law is that is at play, is being properly applied. And what they're saying here is that the law, which in this case I imagine is the First Amendment appeal, is not being properly applied. And so that there are substantial and debatable issues of law. They may be in favor.

It says like, sure, the jury convicted him based on those facts you guys presented, but those facts were based on law that was misinterpreted. And that's really important stuff. Have you, How much have you been following Doug Mackie's case there, Steve?

I have been following it because I actually use his in the speech that I was giving last last week that this was a a portion that I I referred to. And I think it's important to note he didn't actually create the meme that they convicted him for. He shared a meme that wasn't original to him. And that which is which is probably beyond the capabilities of the court to even understand.

I mean it's sort of the the case I made with that we should indict Jennifer Granholm for telling you to lease a Tesla and well, she's encouraging you to go into debt and debt correlates to criminality. So ergo she's encouraging you to do something that would raise your statistical rates of crime in your area. Anybody who retweeted that go get a Tesla should be then a Co conspirator if we're going to follow the Doug Mackey. This is why you listen to the

Kyle Serafin Show, folks. That was the most cerebral argument you've ever heard about the problems there and you're going to have to go back and rewind it. So time stamp it. What is it about the 46 minutes in go time stamp it. Come back and listen to that argument again made by Steve. That was that was a that was like a Democrat level sort of like cognitive dissonance explanation. But I think. It's the same PC that they have in Fulton County, right?

Yes, I'm I'm just just using best practices. I guess the precedent when it has been set I'm more I'm actually really interested to to the conundrum that the government is for Douglas Mackie because they're in for a penny in for a dollar, right. They they can't back off they have to fight it. So they're you saying get back by appeals court or they're going to back off and say oh sorry, we got you convicted erroneously they they really come up. They always double down.

But here's the question. The the that particular idiomatic expression is in for a penny. But we we say penny in this country, but it's actually in for a pence, in for a pound. It's a British thing. How have you decided it's penny in dollar? What's going on here? You just. I just, I'm I'm America, man. I'm America. But like Russell Brand was saying that we say drop in the bucket, it's supposed to be drop in the ocean, which I've now altered in my vernacular. I think that that's that's a

more appropriate. I like A Drop in the Sea, which is a little bit more of a romantic way of saying ocean. How do you feel about that? I like 2 syllables. 1 syllables? No, not so much. I'm not mad at you for it. Let's do so. We're talking about arguments and sort of favorability arguments. A lot of the the Democrats sort of positions right now are pushing gun control again because there have been some mass shootings this week. So of course we've covered it.

Pretty long form on this week's shows, folks. If you missed those, go back and listen. I want to give you kind of an emotional appeal. There's a pretty good, pretty good video that is circulating here. This came from some testimony in front of one of the hearings in front one of the House committees. I think it's worth listening to people who they always claim it's about saving the victims. I don't think that's accurate and I don't think that their

solutions work. So let's give a video to a listen. This is a mother of someone who's who's this child was, was killed in so-called gun violence. That's not really what happens. There's no such thing as gun violence. There's just people who use guns to kill people. And let's go ahead and play this out. I just want you to hear kind of an emotional appeal if you want to play video #2. Ours can't describe how hard it is to bury a child. I ache for anyone and all who

have done the same. My son death was a result of a criminal with an evil heart and a justice system felon to hold him accountable for the laws he had already broken. You see, a convicted felon killed my son with an illegally obtained gun. Our gun control lobbyists and politicians claim that their policies will save lives and reduce violence. Well, those policies did not save my son. The laws being discussed are already implemented in cities across this country.

We have decades of evidence proven they do not work. Saint Louis, New York, Chicago, Washington, Atlanta are gun control utopias and they are plagued with the most violence 10 more laws, 20 more laws, 1000 more won't make what has already illegal more wrong or stop criminals from committing these crimes. And y'all are delusional. If you think it's going to keep us safe, how about letting me defend myself from evil? I You don't think that I'm capable and trustworthy to handle a firearm?

You don't think that the Second Amendment doesn't apply to people that look like me? Who and you who would call for more gun controls are the same ones that are calling to defund the police. Who is supposed to protect us? We must prepare to be our own first responders to protect ourselves and our loved ones. That is it, right there. I mean, that is an impassioned plea from someone who understands isn't that strong. That was great.

Listen, I I was fist pumping, you guys couldn't see in the background. But I'm like, yes, you need to be your own first responder because you're responsible for you. OK. I want you to know something. So for those of you that are listening to the audio podcast, they don't always call it out there, but I want you to listen to that voice. And if you would just take a second, you can.

You know, that was a woman because we're not fools and we know that was a woman's voice and you know, that was a black woman. If you're being honest, you listen, you go, Oh yeah, that was a black lady speaking. And she was saying something that was articulate and intelligent and that was specific to her pain.

And she was giving a message, but it was definitely a black way of saying it. And I want to say that because it's contrasted what we're about to play, because when we say that this other woman is a clown and she is a clown, you can tell that both of them are black women. One of them is a serious person that I'm interested in hearing from. And the other one is a woman who was elected to Congress to represent the state of Texas in Dallas. And she is a clown.

And it's very disgusting to me. You'll also hear that the topic is that she's going to actually, she's going to berate the state that she represents, even though she represents only one district of it. I want you to play a #4 if you would. In contrast, I didn't know that these were going to be the contrast that I was going to find. I just knew these were two good clips that I wanted to share with you. Let's just do this this for comparison. Back-to-back clip #4, if you would, Ryan.

In fact, Miss Perry, I know your organization, the Heritage Foundation, loves Texas. Oh, they love Texas. They always sending us some nonsense bills that somehow set this country on the wrong trajectory. They send them to Texas. They send them to Florida. Every deplorable state that we can think about. They usually. Coming out of y'all's. Despise Dollar Store. Cardi B right there with a wig and fake with fake nails. Steve just muted himself. Are you good? Steve he.

Got her dollars to her Cardi B. She is. She's trash. The the falsy, the falsy eyelashes fake. Designer clothes, fake designer thoughts, fake designer personality, and. She's from Texas. She's. A fraud, Yeah. She comes from Dallas. She called her own state a deplorable state. Correct. Isn't that awful? Congratulations, Texas. Don't mess with Texas. I I I tweeted out that, like, sometimes the stupid and smallest tweets go the longest ways.

I just said this is not a serious person and you know, we're not represented by serious people. And of course, like, I don't need any commentary on that. That woman represents herself as a clown, right? And yeah. And she is. She's trying to be, she's trying to be on the Real Housewives of some trashy neighborhood, whatever that is. And she's not interested in being a serious person. She doesn't have a serious point or a debate. Oh, they never did. Oh, they do this.

And then you go and you watch the other lady who's older, wiser, has experienced real loss and grief, who has a legitimate message and is making articulate arguments against something that is useless, which is gun control. She makes the the clear argument that we always hear and it just coming from a different source the the the source that if you you're going to stereotype. Nope she's she's going to be a black woman. She's going to be a hardcore Democrat. She's going to be all about gun

control. Nope. She made a very articulate great case that and coming from her and I mean it's just reality it's from that source it it has more impact emotionally if you're watching her say it especially because she is actually experienced a loss.

The only thing that I would criticize and this is not on her this is just on the messaging entirely is the the Republicans of the conservatives the pro pro Second Amendment people always make the case we need firearms for our our home defense to keep our family safe. We need but we have a tradition of hunting in our family. Nobody ever says what it's really about, and that is I need this gun because the government has this gun and the government will shoot me in the face if I

don't have this gun. And I want that to be articulated just as well. And it's the thing that we've taken as a message out of the Holocaust, like the places where that doesn't happen is places like America. So far, even with the creeping and the insidious police state that we're dealing with, it continues to not be as successful as it would otherwise be. Because somewhere back in the mind of whoever it is, every, I mean, you've been a guy on a SWAT team.

You've gone through a door. The probability that somebody on the other side of that door has equal weaponry to what you have and has the ability to buy body armor in the same way and potentially even has better experience and tactics should you decide to go after some somebody who spent, you know 20 years at war with our military. Like there's a real the near peer argument as you were. You and I laughed. About that just immediately thought of that.

The only time that they ever presented that was with the Gretchen Whitmer case. But tell people what that is so they understand. Yeah, they they they gave us a a OPS briefing before we went out there. And normally it's the 30,000 foot view on the case to show you an arrest photo or driving driver's license photo of the guy. They showed us videos of these guys. They had equipment, they had training, the training was legit. Their firearms were everybody as good as ours.

And as it came to pass, that was because the FBI provided them the training and the firearms and the equipment and the transportation, all of that. And they described them as near peer. And in that briefing room, it's very locker room environment as the 2016 Trump campaign would describe it. It's guys just smoking and joking. And it was you could hear a pin drop. People were like, oh, this is serious. And it was described to us that

we might not win this fight. So we have to be really squared away. That's a real possibility that should give the government. The government should constantly have that sense when they are going against citizens to to inflict whatever it is they're doing, even if it's a justifiable force. They should at least know that they are dealing with citizens, Free people, not subjects, not servants. And that's a big deal to me.

I think that's what keeps things fair and balanced and righteous and and upright, is that the the arbitrary use of tyranny at least has the possibility of some serious pushback, particularly in this country. That's not common in other countries. You're not going to see that in Ireland. You're not going to see that in England they don't have the same tradition of not hunting and

fishing. They don't have the same tradition of kicking the hell out of the government that was tyrannically overreaching and going after them and said, oh, you want to shoot somebody in the face? You want to kill Christmas addicts? We're going to throw all the tea in the harbor. And also we're going to kick your ass off this continent. So goodbye. Oh, you're going to come back in 1812. We're going to do it again. Both times. We almost lost, by the way.

We did, but there's that that Machisimo, I guess you describe it. It's not really an American term, but it's a frontier. Spirit. Let's call it that, right? Like, it's the American spirit of willing to do hard things and being comfortable with being uncomfortable. Be yes, willing to be inconvenienced. Willing to be uncomfortable. Not a leisure pursuit. We just want to rock that. That we could worship and have our families and play with our guns. Leave us the heck alone.

Which is why I think most American men, sort of I have the fantasy of I just want to live on a mountain somewhere and just do those things and he said Steve. Friends Steve Friend wants to live on a warm beach. Because he doesn't. Like if we can put the mountain into a tropical climate and not have it be a volcano, it's. It's called Hawaii. Yeah, most of those are. Dormant until they have volcano. You could live on a volcano. You love that it would be warm all the time.

The heat would come from the ground and from the sun. Perfect for your iguana type. There's all kinds of lizards. You have a background in sales. Now I'm starting to really think about it. He's thinking, hey, is there they're they're communists out there. Unfortunately in Hawaii, unfortunately for all of our Hawaiian listeners, all three of you that wake up at whatever it is 2:00 AM to listen to us. Sorry about that. Let me let me add one more piece of serious, then we'll do one

more piece of levity. We'll end this thing right now. Let's do Missouri versus Biden. Some of you guys are familiar with this case. I'm actually going to be doing a very long form version of this. I've been asked to guess Hope Dinesh D'souza's podcast for the end of this year. I'm going to do that. We're going to do a coverage of this with my friend Tracy Beans. But let's just listen to the absurdity of our federal government.

These are not serious people. Again, you heard a member of Congress. Now you're going to hear the top advocate, the assistant attorney general for the Civil Rights Division, which is theoretically in the business of policing violations of civil rights by other government entities. That's their job and other people. Obviously she doesn't even know what Missouri V Biden is. So let's just hear this real quick. I think Dan Bishop is shocked by this answer.

This is going to be video #5 Missouri versus Biden Case in the District Court, the court explained. Quote, if the allegations made by the plaintiffs are true, the present case arguably involves the most massive attack on free speech in United States history. close quote. Court went on to find that the plaintiffs were reasonably likely to succeed on the merit at trial entered the preliminary injunction. The 5th Circuit has affirmed Supreme Court has taken jurisdiction of the case.

Course, that's all civil litigation is any criminal investigation or prosecution of the persons responsible for that activity in the FBI, CISA and at the White House and their Co conspirators underway in the Civil Rights Division. Congressman, I'm I'm not familiar with this litigation, but happy to bring your question back.

Thank you. So let me just make sure I understand that you are not aware of the Missouri versus Biden litigation that is currently being taken up by the United States Supreme Court, Is that correct? Unfortunately, I'm I'm not Congressman.

Assuming not assuming that you're not aware of that, what what reason would there be that the Civil Rights Division of the Justice Department's leader is unaware of what a United States District Court has described as the most massive attack on free speech in the United States history? If, if, if you could share more of the facts, that could be helpful, Congressman. Otherwise, you're just you just don't know. Is that correct that that's

correct? Unfortunately, I'm this does not appear to be a case that I'm familiar with. Does not appear to be a case that I'm familiar with Steve Friend. What are the two possibilities that she's not familiar with this? There's like basically two that Garrett laid out the other day. Willful ignorance or so. Incompetence. I would call that. Yeah or yeah, Incompetence or stupidity? I think she's incompetence or? Or she's lying. Yeah, she's lying.

But I mean, I believe her. You 1000% believe her. She's a communist. Communist. And the communist will use the levers of power, the DOJ, to reward their friends and punish their enemies. And this is not going to cross this. This is not going to come across her desk on the on the ticker. She's not going to have that conveyor belt with that particular case. The thing is, is that she should

have her emails subpoenaed. Not FOIA, but subpoenaed by this committee, and they should determine that she doesn't know it. And if she's incompetent enough not to know about the single biggest violation of American free speech civil liberties in history, then she should lose her job and never be hired again as an attorney for incompetence. And if she lied and she was familiar with this and she perjured herself, then she should go to jail.

Yes, I feel about that. She should go to jail for perjury or she should be prosecuted for violating civil rights. Conspiracy. Conspiracy to to violate liberties. Oh, kind of like Douglas Mackie. Yeah, I mean this this no different than what I was saying with the Josh Hawley in statement that he made to Christopher Wray. He was saying, have you fired anyone? I was like have you prosecuted anyone? That's a that's a civil rights violation, that's a color of law

violation. Anyone associated with that document should be prosecuted. Color of law means that you represent an authority that you don't have, and you do so under your official capacity as a government employee. I agree with you. Color of law. Like I said, we sew it all up. We're sewing these things all together. You guys are not watching. I'm doing the sewing thing on our I don't know what the sewing thing looks like. My daughters are better at that.

I got one thing to take you guys into the weekend with a little bit of fun. I hate to be a downer and let you know that our federal government is entirely corrupt and stupidity and all your neighbors are too, because you're not. You have neighbors that are brilliant and funny, and some of them are not even people that would otherwise necessarily agree with you, but they are pot

smokers with great thoughts. This guy, I think his name his his handle on on TikTok is like smoking and thinking something that affect. I got the impression that he's vaping maybe something with marijuana in it. I don't care. This is brilliant. Steve. I'll get a cold reaction from you and this you may have already seen it. Let's go ahead and run our final video of the day folks and we will close it out with this this is going to be and this video.

Hold on now, I've cheated up. This video is going to be brought to you by the A Boyle family sweatshop, The Dash suspendables.com, of which I'm wearing the night OPS PT shirt. We're going to get some of those for Dan Bongino, producer who sent me a picture of himself at the gym yesterday. Kind of amusing and interesting. Go to thedashsuspendables.com. thedashsuspendables.com. Use promo code Kyle again. Always easy. You save yourself a couple bucks, you can keep the sweatshop burning.

There it is. There's the website. There's the logo. You know you've arrived the right one if you put a dash between the and suspendables. O'boyle is out of town, but we'll keep those going. OK? Brought to you by the O'boyle family sweatshop is this moment of levity they used to do. The moment of Zen on Comedy Central where they would show the guy getting his head squashed. This is a moment of levity going into the Weekend Play. Video #3, Video #3. My pronouns aren't preferred.

They are mandatory. OK, how the fuck am I supposed to know when I'm only meeting someone on the go and I'm not allowed to guess by how they look or how they dress or by what they got? That's going on below. See, on this topic, I'm a little Gray. When meeting someone knew, what do I say 'cause if I have to start or talk asking if you have a cock, then you're not my kind of person anyway. And just one more little thing before I'm gone. Respect is earned.

It's not demanded in a song. If you want to be a She or a day Is or AZ, good for you, but you can't make me play along. Steve, what do you think? I think he needs to be a kindergarten teacher, that I would much rather have my child go to his class then that person that preceded him. I'd rather have a guy who day drinks on the subway and uses the word cock appropriately, like that guy just did, to

explain how gender works. Then have that weird nose ring, tranny person go do whatever the hell we just saw with the clap, clap, Say my pronouns and they're mandatory, by the way. They're only mandatory if you can make them mandatory. Which, again, that's why we have the Second Amendment. Come, come and force your pronouns, please. Yeah. Yeah, come and take my pronouns exactly. I I mean good on him. I think he would. He would be an excellent nursery

school teacher. He would definitely have the nice rhyme section, have everybody sit crisscross applesauce. Can he? Can he vape while he's talking to? Him. Hey, man, it's. We're in a we're in an era of moral decline, so our our thresholds are lower than they would otherwise be like. When we Yeah, I mean, look, it's it's first things here that's like #666 on my list of concerns at school.

It's so low on the on this thing, there's just no reason to worry about it. Anyway, folks, if you want to see where that video is, if you want your own copy of you want to share it. I actually put it in my Twitter timeline. I retweeted a guy whose name is Tim on point. He's a former Navy SEAL and his comment on that was You Magnificent Bastard, which made me smile. And then I went and watched it

and it made me smile even more. And then I've even listened to that while I was in the shower, 'cause I was taking a shower, listening like, you know, cleaning my hair along with it. It's a great rhyme. I think it's pretty fun. Sometimes you need to fight fire with fire or nursery rhymes with nursery rhymes. So there it is, Steve Friend, tell people what you got going on and where they can follow you. Are you are you going to be doing tomorrow? Are you doing a podcast

We're really grateful for all of you guys. I saw a couple of them kind of tickling through the through the

live chat. So Ryan, if you want to throw some of them, Ryan's got to go find him now cup of Joe said liberals blaming hammers, a tool a vehicle for a person's crime is really stupid. Dan Bongino is correct. Liberals arguments are really dumb. Or you could go with what Reagan said, which is to say that it's not that they don't know anything. Is that what they know is just not So that's a maybe a more nice regular way to do attack penis with a with a comment on.

Do the government stormtrooper agencies realize that the deplorable have a large number of individuals who just spent two decades learning guerrilla warfare. Do they indeed? I don't know, but they should. There are an awful lot of boot boot on the ground and door kicking types and people that have done very uncomfortable things professionally on purpose.

Check that out. And Tech P also really liked my dollar store Cardi B, although he called her dollar store Carnegie, which is even funnier in some ways. Can't get mad about that. Anything else we need to cover down on? We can go to a five star. One more coming up, one more coming up. A couple more. Our buddy Eric. Jason who you can follow at Eric Jason JASONJASON.

If you haven't joined our live chat on Rumble, you're missing

out on a really great fun thing. The stuff that I see that runs in there is equally funny and and great commentary as well. And Chad Zodi with the last one saying suspendables have all the candor. Yeah, of course. That's why we don't have a job. That's why we don't work at the FBI anymore. The candor is what gets you kicked out. If you tell him the truth, you're done. All right, let's do a five star review from from Apple folks. We really do appreciate all of

you guys doing these things. We've cleared the 525I think we picked up five or six yesterday. Some of the shows that have been around for for years literally don't have as many as we do clearing this number. So let's check this guy out. This one says that this is coming from Lee T Francis. November 28th. Keep the faith. I've only recently discovered this podcast. I think it's one of the most outstanding and honest shows in this space because it's a podcast.

Because of this podcast, I found patriots like Steve Friend and Garrett O'boyle. His show is one of the few must watch shows that I found. God bless and thank you for your work. Well, I really do appreciate. That's really thoughtful. I'm glad that we are exposing people like Steve to you, like Garrett to you, Some of my great people that I've seen in my life. And and I'm glad you guys get to see them too. I always get a comment after I do one with Garrett.

O'boyle. My dad always says he loves them. So that's it. I'm really grateful for Steve joining me. I'm grateful for you joining me. I hope you guys have a wonderful weekend. I hope you're safe.
