Take a look behind the curtain with a real whistleblower and 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, and welcome to the Kyle Seraphin Show.

Today is Friday, it is September the 5th.

And curiously, but I guess predictably, we are missing Steve Friend from our usual friendly Friday segment.

Just another reminder that the FBI whistleblowers that were reinstated are not able to talk anymore.

And so we're not going to hear any more from Steve Friend in that capacity, at least not in the near future.

And I wanted to do something in his honor.

I want to do something sort of A to address that, and we're going to do sort of an homage to Steve Friend as we get started.

For those of you that used to follow him, or maybe you still follow him, but you're not seeing it anymore, Steve Friend was really, really good at going through FBI press releases and pointing out the hypocrisy and the the idiocracy that we live in where the FBI would claim credit for not their work.

I've got a little bit of that today.

You guys aren't going to be surprised.

And we're also going to kind of explore this idea that you can take a man out of the Democrat Party, but you really can't take the Democrat out of that man.

And that's going to be coming from RFK Junior, who went in front of a Senate committee to talk about vaccines, which is very, very frustrating.

What I did not know and I found out there's a, an overt and public push on the political left.

Guys like Chris Cuomo are saying it.

They want to make sure that you understand that the law is our national religion.

Just take that for a second.

Just digest that as you will.

The law is our natural religion.

We've seen a little dust up now between a couple of different senators discussing where do rights come from?

And I think this is a continuation.

Now, here's the fun thing.

Those of us that have been in this sort of battleground space for a little while have been trying to tell you that people on the political left look at government as a God.

And how does God give you his rules?

How does he tell you what he expects?

He codifies it.

The 10 commandments were the law in the same way if the law that is being passed by our Congress as inefficiently as you can imagine, if that is our national religion, like they're going out and saying it overtly.

It's pretty interesting.

And I don't, I don't hate that people are being honest with us.

Now, before we get into the the fun of it, because I do have some fun.

I've got some exposes.

We're going to expose hypocrisy.

We're going to do a little bit about propaganda, which I can't help.

Let's go ahead and start first with my friends over at Patriot Protect.

Maybe you don't want to get robodiles, scammers, cyber criminals, I don't know, hackers, scumbags in general trying to get access to your information.

AT&T had a data breach where they exposed 184,000,000 login credentials with the username, passwords, and e-mail addresses unencrypted, left wide open on the Internet.

This is a thing we find constantly, whether it's our federal government failing, leaving things wide open, whether it is in fact a private corporation.

Your data is yours, but they don't treat it like it's theirs, and so they lose it on a regular basis.

And that doesn't matter whether it's a healthcare provider or a bank or whatever else, people tend to lose this stuff.

If you want to make sure that your information is protected and that you are less likely to be susceptible to scams, you can do something about it by scrubbing your name, your address, your phone number and more off these data broker websites.

So you are not a likely target.

And Patriot Protect does just that.

They also have a thing called the Blackout service that is scanning the dark web looking for caches that include your information.

You give them their information, they go out there and they scan around looking for who's trying to sell your information, and then you know you've been compromised.

So you can change up the things you need to.

It's a real pain in the butt to change up all your passwords and get new credit cards and things like that.

But if someone's selling your info, you're going to want to do something about it.

And you can do it with my friends over at Patriot Protect.

It's patriot-protect.com/kyle.

Again, patriotprotect.com/kyle.

If you don't use this service, use somebody.

But that's the one that we use here.

Mr.

and Missus Seraphin.

I think my parents have the same thing as well.

So check them out.

And we're going to get started with today's program right now.

All right, so as promised, I am going to give you a little taste of Steve friend.

Now, we we missed the friend in the Friday mornings, but that doesn't mean that we have to forget what Steve was great at.

And one thing he did was show you that the FBI claims to be one thing.

And in fact, it is entirely something else.

Now, my argument is that the FBI claims to be a law enforcement entity and that it actually is an intelligence agency.

That's the Seraphin sort of proposition, if you will.

And I started talking about this in September, which means we are now coming up on the three-year anniversary, a couple weeks away from the three-year anniversary of my name being a public, you know, public fact.

And that, that the claims I was going to put my name in my face to it on the Dan Bongino show, which was at the, I think the 24th of September in 2022.

I got a chance to go through some of the old stories and, and to walk through like, how the hell did I get here with a guy named Doctor Bob Shulman?

I went to his podcast yesterday.

I think you'll probably see it on Monday if you guys are interested in seeing it.

If you want to rehash some of the old stuff.

One thing I did not know is that I met Doctor Bob, who was a major donor to Project Veritas and I met him through James O'Keefe.

And we went, I went to his home under the, the, I guess I went to his home under the understanding that Doctor Bob wanted to meet me with no particular information, but James introduced it is that I have a candidate who I would like to hire and I would like you to pay his salary.

And so I would like you to meet him.

And so it, they set it up.

James set it up such that each person believe that the other person wanted to meet the other, although neither one of us had anything in it.

And that when we met, I think Doctor Bob was a great guy and we had a really nice conversation.

And the fun thing is, is that the the end up loser was James O'Keefe because he had lied to both parties and then he lost the support of Doctor Bob after not hiring me because Bob was like, yeah, this guy would be great done.

I'll I'll fund his position.

And then O'Keefe in fact, didn't actually do that.

So all that is history.

But that's kind of the history that we're walking through right now as I'm kind of looking back coming up on three years anniversary of those.

Anyway, Steve friends proposition has always been that the FBI steals credit and that they Juke the stats that they are out there basically claiming credit for things they didn't do.

And then they're going to Congress and saying this is what we did.

So we're going to do a little look here.

This is Director Cash Patel's official FBI Twitter account.

And I'm showing it to you because I want to handle a couple things.

And it's going to be our first story of the day as well.

John Solomon is the most recent post.

It's a repost by Director Patel's account.

And John Solomon says this is such a big development, the FBI reportedly stops a mass shooting before it started and didn't wait until afterwards to say they had the shooter on its radar.

Signs of a major mindset shift under Director Cash Patel.

Now, that sounds pretty good.

But for those of us that pay attention to these sort of things, we know there's probably a little bit more to it.

And you're going to find out that there isn't just one second.

I also just want to highlight that doctor.

Director Patel said incredible work that the FBI has stopped a potential school shooter.

After the suspect was released on bond, we moved quickly to arrest him and secure federal charges that would keep him detained and our children safe.

Phenomenal action, intelligence, work saved lives.

That's really a dangerous statement, I think, particularly in our lives.

And then of course, he's got another one celebrating himself.

There's a picture of himself in some cool guy shades.

Those are some Gators.

I wear Gators.

I look better in my Gators.

I'm just going to say that up front.

And then there's the the alleged shooter.

He's a 25 year old guy who has a YouTube channel.

We'll talk about that in one second as well.

And I just want you to point out that there's a couple of things that I've been seeing over and over again.

And this was brought up on our call in show last night.

This concept here, you're seeing it right on the screen.

If you guys can read the small print, it says 28 arrests involving FBI personnel.

That's from 22 hours ago.

This concept that the FBI is involved in the arrest is prominent and it is upfront and it actually acknowledges that they didn't execute the arrest.

They were involved in it.

For those of you that listened, maybe last night there was a scenario where one of my colleagues needed an arrest in order to check off the five required experiences to come off probation.

And he didn't have 5 arrests.

And so the 5th arrest was him sitting in a control room watching CCTV footage as another FBI agent arrested somebody who was already in Sheriff's Department custody.

So locals had custody, taken him in, done the search, you know, booked him, put him into a cell and then took them out of the cell.

And our agent went in and cuffed the guy up again to transport him over into US Marshals custody, where then he would put into a federal containment.

And one of my colleagues watched on a monitor and then booked that as being involved in the arrest.

That was an arrest experience, watching somebody else do an arrest of somebody that was already in local custody.

That's how some of these things are juked.

So when you see the words involved in arrest, it should make the hackles on the back of your neck stand up just a bit.

And once again, there are dozens of examples of it on the Facebook or in this rather this ex post.

You can keep going down here.

Here's another 121 of us involving FBI personnel, as long as they're there on scene or part of the operation.

Operation.

You're seeing the FBI claim credit.

And that's a big deal because what it shows is a fundamentally disingenuous sort of operation.

And here's what I'm going to show you.

This is the the gentleman that was arrested gentleman, because we don't know anything about him.

Couple things that I got in that are problematic #1 Patel says FBI stopped a potential preschool massacre, unacceptable acts of cowardice.

And the North Carolina man was charged with making online threats to massacre dozens of black children.

These are very, very common.

The idea that somebody would step out and say I'm going to do something really awful or that they put it on a YouTube channel, it happens absolutely every day.

It's awful, It's gross.

And they almost never want to do these things in real life.

And we know that because the FBI usually leads them along to the point where they actually have a real plot.

And then they can get him with a hate crime, domestic terrorism charge.

Now, some of you guys are thinking, oh, well, that's the playbook.

That's what you guys have been talking about for a really long time.

And that's exactly correct.

This is the playbook.

This is how the FBI does business.

And I'm going to read you a couple little pieces here.

So the FBI director's taking credit for stopping a potential tragedy and massacre of dozens of black children.

A guy named Zachary Charles Newell, 25, of Newport, was arrested on Monday and charged with Interstate threat to kidnap or injure in the criminal complaint in the Eastern District of Virginia.

That's September 2nd, I need to actually go pull that complaint and I don't have it and I couldn't pull it before we got the show started.

But what I did read was very interesting.

The FBI worked quickly with our partners, obviously.

Obviously there's going to be partners involved, FBI involved in arrests right in the Carteret.

I don't know how you pronounce that.

Carteret County to ensure this individual was taken to custody before he could act.

And So what happened?

The local Sheriff's Department, Carteret County or Carteret County served a search warrant at a location and Google actually alerted the FBI's end talk on August the 31st that somebody named commentators hate me.

I had an e-mail address registered to this guy Newell associated with his phone number and so on and so forth.

They got the address, the IP address, traces it from Charter Communications and the Sheriff's Department deputies went and confronted him at his home.

He allegedly admitted to making the comment on YouTube.

The search warrant was then executed.

So they probably held on to him until they got the search warrant or they already had it in the works.

And then he was charged in state court with communicating a threat of mass violence on educational property, which was the local charge.

And then the guy bonded out with a state magistrate, which means you're probably talking at least a full day, but maybe 2 days.

Often times you get somebody in custody, they're there overnight, and then they see the judge first thing in the morning kind of deal.

You know, possible that you're able to drag him directly in if they have a quick working state magistrate and then they can have their initial appearance or their arraignment.

And then the Sheriff's Office worked with the FBI to take him into federal custody on federal charges after he was already in local custody.

So the FBI allegedly saved the day, but only according to the FBI and only if you don't actually read the story to read that in fact, the Sheriff's Department actually arrested him.

Now it'll be really interesting because my real questions go along like this.

Didn't the trans shooter that was in Minneapolis also have a YouTube channel saying things about violence that were really, really explicit in a long form video?

This guy made one mention of something he might do and apparently was in a small channel and was flagged.

Why was he flagged preemptively and the trans shooter was able to get away with it?

It's because the FBI doesn't actually have a good mechanism of stopping people unless, and we might find this out soon, they're actually involved in it and they're setting people up now.

That guy's a perfect subject.

Let me show him back on the screen again.

That guy is the perfect dude that I would have been surveilling when I was working for the FBI.

This would have been what's called an RMVEA, racially motivated violent extremist.

Somebody who hates black people, says he's going to do something violent, and then we go follow him around for days and days and days until they finally interview him and he's like, no, I didn't actually mean that.

I just was having a bad day.

I just made a Reddit post that was racist.

I just said something on YouTube because it was a live stream and I popped off.

But this is a major shift, remember?

A major shift in mindset.

So says John Solomon, and it just reminds me every single time we see this stuff.

John Solomon is the dedicated propagandist who worked on behalf of Donald Trump with Cash Patel in what is this June of 2022.

This is a, a letter that is public that you guys can find that has John Solomon's address or his e-mail address, his phone number and so on.

And this is from Donald Trump asking that Cash Patel and John Solomon specifically be his representatives to access the presidential records and any information they're in.

So he's naming those two to be able to be his reps.

No shocker that Solomon ends up doing sort of a heavy lifting and trying to act like the FBI is somehow reformed when in fact I don't think it is.

We do have that little video and this is the thing I I get the sense that Donald Trump might be fed up.

This is from August 11th.

We played it last night on our call in show.

I had some of you guys do your your analysis on the facial expressions.

I'll let you do the same thing.

Here's Patel making a bunch of claims.

Most of them are inflated and exaggerated and you can tell that Donald Trump doesn't seem to be buying it.

This is the reason why I think that he got sent out.

And if you noticed on that Facebook or that that X scroll, not a single thing about the whistleblowers to include guys like Steve Friend and and Garretta Boyle.

And the reason why is, is because they have not been reinstated yet.

They're just waiting.

They haven't been contacted by the FBI.

They're just waiting.

They haven't been paid their back pay.

So they're just waiting and they're having to be quiet.

They're actually following the terms of the agreement, which says that they essentially are under the FBI social media policy, meaning they can't post about things.

And their silence was bought for $0.00 so far.

Now, I think that they will eventually get paid and I hope they do, but I don't want you guys to think that everything is hunky Dory.

And now it's all good in in in the hood here because my guys are just sitting around waiting for a phone call from the Bureau.

Anyway, we're coming up.

They have 30 days to comply.

And the the deal was signed on the 26th.

So we are now 20 days away from them being in sort of a default of the position that they actually started.

Let's do a quick little video.

I'm going to be on the screen here.

We may stop it at some point.

And here is Cash Patel talking at a press conference and doing his little sort of these are the best things we've done.

And aren't you a great President Donald Trump?

But you can see what his face looks like.

This year alone, under President Trump's administration, we've had over 4000 child victims identified and found that's a 33% increase from the same time period last year, 33% increase.

We've had a seizure 1500kg of fentanyl this up to this date.

That is a 25% increase since the same time period last year.

And just to put it in perspective, 1500kg of fentanyl is enough to kill 115,000,000 Americans, 115,000,000 Americans.

Cops are getting after it.

It's such an awkward line.

Cops are getting after it.

As everybody knows, the FBI is not caught.

They're not cops.

And that's why they weren't the guys who arrested this guy who sounded dangerous.

He also sounds super nervous.

You guys think he sounds drunk.

I don't think he's drunk.

I think he's nervous.

We're going to continue on just a little bit more.

The FBI has arrested 19,000 people this year alone, thanks to President Trump's.

Look at that face, Beth frown.

He's like you are just full of crap.

The FBI has not arrested 19,000 people.

And by the way, most of those arrests that they're involved in, involved in but didn't actually do are almost all immigration arrests.

So we're going to talk about some immigration stuff today.

Obviously we'll talk about vaccines, but look at that face.

I don't know, I almost want to zoom in further on it, but Donald Trump does just not.

I'll give you some more context.

We'll give it a couple more seconds here just to roll, but watch, he's just administrations.

That's double than where we were this time last year.

And we have also arrested 1600 people.

Can you guys see that face?

If you can't, this is what his face sounds like.

Are you telling the truth?

It's just not good.

OK, so let's talk about some of those arrests and some of the stuff that Cash is out there bragging about.

Because a big thing that was promised in this administration was that they were going to get rid of illegal aliens in this country.

And I do think that's the thing that most of us hope for.

We're hopeful that there will be undocumented illegal aliens, criminal aliens in this country, deported and mass, mass deportations.

That was the thing I think people cheered on.

CNN seems upset about it.

And I'm going to tell you something here is a serious and real dark problem.

Hundreds of undocumented immigrants were apprehended in a massive ICE raid at the Hyundai plant in Georgia.

Now, the details of this are really important.

I think what you're seeing is that there was a significant number of different federal agencies involved.

OK?

What you're seeing on the screen is ICE and then ATF because ATF is always looking for work.

I'm sure the FBI was involved there because I saw some statements about that as well.

And here's the story.

Hundreds of undocumented immigrants were.

Of course, they're undocumented.

Immigrants were apprehended during a sweeping immigration raid at a Georgia manufacturing facility on Thursday, making it one of the largest ICE raids at a single site in the 22 year history of the agency.

Cheers.

Very good.

More of this, please.

We want all of this stuff.

About 450 people were apprehended as several law enforcement agencies descended on the Meta plant that was in Ella Bell, the nice name about 25 miles West of Savannah, GA.

It's the latest example of the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration.

I think that it's funny because they highlighted that word.

You guys can't see it, but they did the raid salted, halted construction at the at the plant and they were producing batteries for electric vehicles.

It's been touted by the governor as the largest economic development site in the state's history.

OK, so 450, we're going to do some quick math.

We're going to we're going to quickly look over at what CBS has reported.

Also, same thing, 450 detained an ICE raid at this huge Hyundai plant and just ask yourself if this is one of the biggest economic development things in the state in the history of the state and they claim that is a $7.6 billion manufacturing plant.

How many total employees would you guess were part of this facility?

Very interesting.

1200 people are employed.

They said about 1200 people.

This is according to CBS.

They claim that ATF that the HSIFBIDEA ICE.

The Georgia State Police and other agencies were all part of this.

It's in Bryan County, Georgia, 1200 people employed.

I want you to just do the math.

450 were arrested, about 450.

So let's just use their numbers.

That means more than more than 1/3 of the employees are illegal aliens.

And there's a couple of things that that could mean.

Part 1, Hyundai Corporation is involved or the Honda, Hyundai Motor Group, let me be specific about their name, could be involved in mass fraud and they are not using E-Verify and they are bringing people in knowingly that are illegal.

Now that would be a really, really wild move for a major car company that doesn't need to do that.

They can always raise their prices.

They have some of the cheapest cars on the market.

So here's the real question, what if all those people are working under stolen Social Security numbers?

The idea that people who live in the United States illegally are not causing any actual criminal activity and they are not the so-called worst of the worst that you always hear about.

Why are they going after these people?

They're just hard workers.

They're just trying to get a job and make a living in America.

No, most likely if they are working in a Hyundai plant and a third of the people working there are there illegally, particularly if they use E-Verify, which they are required to do, then it means that they are there fraudulently and they are stealing somebody's identity and they are working there under some sort of illegal auspices.

And so now you've got a real big problem because the narrative has always been these are hard working people and you're kicking them out of jobs.

We're going to talk about jobs numbers in this country as well because I had some fun little digging into history.

There's some negative reporting about what the job, the job growth look like in this nation.

And of course, NBC News was covering it in a very dark light, but they were very, very complimentary and they were also willing to make excuses for Joe Biden during his term.

So I, I pulled some historical information there.

All right.

So apparently it's a 3000 acre site.

It's West of Savannah.

Homeland Security said that they were part of an ongoing criminal investigation into allegations on of unlawful employment practices and other serious federal crimes.

Interestingly enough, because I always assume that when I hear the words illegal alien in the manufacturing plant, like our first guest is that they're probably, they're illegally from Mexico, from Guatemala, from El Salvador, from Honduras, from Venezuela, like take your pick somewhere South of the United States border, but from our hemisphere.

But that's not necessarily the case, as we found out with all the illegal immigration that was crossing over that border for the last four years.

So this statement is quite interesting to me.

The South Korean Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the economic activities of Korean investment companies and the rights and interests of Korean citizens must not be unfairly infringed upon during U.S.

law enforcement operations.

We're actively responding to this incident by dispatching the consul, the Consul General specifically of the US Embassy in Seoul and we are sending our consulate general in Atlanta to the site and instructing the formation of an on site response team centered around the local embassy.

We've conveyed our concerns and our regrets to the US Embassy in Korea.

We've urged them to exercise extreme caution to ensure the legitimate rights and interests of Korean citizens are not infringed upon.

Now maybe they're sitting there and and getting involved in the the Korean investment end of it and they don't want to have anything bad happen because they put money on the US soil.

And I think that's something we can encourage.

We're not mad about that.

But if you got a 30 of workers that are non-us citizens, we got a real problem there.

So now that their vetting problem, a vetting problem that's, that's not being done properly.

I've been told that E-Verify is garbage.

But the last piece of it is, is what happens when people are defrauding American citizens of their identity and they're working under it.

They're working.

And that means that they are going to, let's say you're, you're out of work and someone's using your Social Security.

That means you probably don't qualify for some benefits that would otherwise be out there.

I mean, they are, they are paying theoretically into your Social Security.

It's a lot of really weird stuff that happens.

And if you've ever had your identity stolen, it is kind of a, it's kind of a, a hopeless scenario because how do you stop somebody from using a number that was never supposed to be used this way to ID themselves for legitimate work?

I found out somebody was working for a pizza restaurant in Arizona when I was in my, my 20s and I was working in another state.

I think I was working at Warner Brothers in California.

I, I did these background checks because I was going into the military and suddenly found that like two or three different people had been or were actively working under my Social Security number in all these different places that I've never been.

You know, like a pizzeria in Phoenix and something out in, in like Illinois and stuff.

So when they get a hold of your Social Security number and sell it, like, what do you do with it?

And then of course, as you guys are pointing out in the chat, whose fault is this that all these people are here in the 1st place to do it?

And I think we already know the answer.

So that's going to pivot me over to the story about the job market, because this is obviously a question about jobs and whether people can get jobs.

450 jobs, 1/3 of the jobs at this massive plant not being held by legal American workers is kind of a big deal in a small place.

And I imagine that this is going to be extrapolated much more, much more broadly.

First, let's go ahead and just talk about one of our sponsors, and this one is going to be our buddies over at My Patriot Supply.

They're here to remind you that September is National Preparedness Month, not preparedness for identity theft, but preparedness for any kind of emergency or disasters that you might face.

So it's a great time to ask yourself questions like how much food do we have on hand for emergencies?

Do we have clean water?

Do we have access to clean water?

If our tap went dry, what would we do if a storm knocked down the power and we didn't have it for a week or longer?

If you're like me, there's always room for improvement.

That's obviously the case.

We could all have more things and more preparation, but the folks at my Patreon Supply are making it easier.

Right now they're giving away over $1500 in free emergency food and preparedness gear.

When you go check them out, go to mypatriotsupply.com/kyle mypatriotsupply.com/kyle.

They launched this Emergency Prep month mega kit and includes a full year of emergency food, water filtration, a system that can purify at the source, solar generator backup.

I have most of these things in my house.

We have water purification, we have both passive and active.

We've got food, we've got ammo, we've got things that you guys should be doing.

If you're not setting yourself up for that success, then you are setting up to have like a real rough time if something were to happen to you.

This is not like scare tactics, this is Peace of Mind and and personal insurance.

mypatriotsupply.com slash Kyle.

You guys can actually scan the QR code.

If you're watching it on TV, you can use that with your phone.

Go there, bookmark it, take a look at what they've got.

There are 90 different emergency preparedness essentials that you can get involved in and you're going to get a total of like $1500 free when you buy the huge kit again, bundle for for bulk and for cost savings.

Definitely check them out.

If you are not prepared, we all could probably do a little bit more.

So all right, let's talk about jobs and job market.

Here we go.

The job market is expected to show weakness.

Oh, a jobs report that is going to come out, that hasn't come out yet.

It's due today.

It's due this morning.

But they're already expecting it to be weak.

Now, they were previously wrong on some other stuff.

I think it's interesting.

We'll just read their little story.

The federal government's going to release their data this morning.

And that is unlikely to allay the concerns about a slow down in the jobs market.

Analysts estimate that 75,000 jobs were added in the United States in July, and that would be a slight improvement from the 73,000 that were added in June.

How interesting.

And I wonder what percentage of them were given to illegal aliens.

That seems like it actually really bothers the people that are reporting in our liberal press.

the US economy appears to have stagnated since July, say analysts with Citibank.

And they noted this week in separate surveys from the Federal Reserve released on Wednesday, it showed little to no increase in economic activity or employment over the past several weeks.

Monthly job reports from the Bureau of Labor Statistics is closely watched by economists to give a little snapshot on the economy.

This one will be especially scrutinized, particularly by the leftist media.

Now, what they don't do is make a bunch of excuses like you used to see under Joe Biden.

And again, we just point out the hypocrisy because it's real.

This is a headline from January of 2022.

After one year in office with Joe Biden, they're looking confused and now wandering around aimlessly.

They said the Labor Department's initial job reports again estimates in 2021 weren't as reliable as.

Usual.

The United States economy added 4.9 million jobs in the 1st 10 months of the year, and then after the revisions they rose another 6,000,000 and then we had revisions downward that change that as well.

Again, these numbers don't necessarily mean anything.

These are numbers that are given to you by a government agency, and most of us don't believe the government is all that great at doing much of anything.

We got some real problems.

You've got some unreliable media.

So you're kind of in this weird spot where you go, well, who do we trust and what sort of information should we be relying on?

Here's another good one.

This one just came out from CBS.

And I found this to be interesting because they're claiming, you know, if jobs are going down, maybe it's because those jobs are actually currently being held by illegal aliens, as we just saw at that plant.

And this story seems to substantiate at least a piece of this.

This is from September 1st.

Federal data reveals 1.2 million, 1.2 million drop in federal immigrant workers.

I'm sorry, in immigrant workers under Donald Trump.

No federal, sorry, federal data, immigrant workers.

Let's read it real quickly.

As millions of Americans gather to celebrate Labor Day, federal data shows that Trump's immigration policies are reshaping the US workforce.

They sort of imply that not for the better, obviously.

The number of immigrant workers in the United States has declined by 1.2 million.

The fun thing is, is that they are not willing to separate out legal residents of this country.

So that's going to be your green card workers, your green card residents, your H1 BS and so on.

People that actually have a visa and and the right to work in this nation, at least as determined by our state department.

And they're not going to sort that out from illegal aliens that are here.

The labor market shake up comes as the flow of immigrants in the United States has slowed significantly under Trump, who campaigned on a promise to deport millions of immigrants who are working here illegally.

Again, this Georgia story gives us a little bit of a taste.

If the biggest project in your state's history has 1/3 of the people working there that have no right to be in this nation and have no right to be working at all, you got a real problem.

Because if you're creating economic opportunities and Americans don't get to take advantage of them, aren't we working against ourselves?

Trump said that he's campaigned on deporting millions of aliens who are working here illegally.

He said he's focusing the deportations on dangerous criminals.

But most people that are detained by ICE have no criminal convictions.

Yeah.

So again, criminal convictions, let's be real clear, you don't have to be convicted of identity fraud to have committed identity fraud.

They can identify you.

If you fraudulently used somebody's number on E-Verify and you were able to get a job that you have no right to have and you shouldn't be working in our nation, you've done something criminal.

You just haven't been convicted of it.

And I would say that destroying people's financial history, that their livelihood, their credit records and so on, it's pretty damaging.

Whether that makes you a quote UN quote dangerous criminal, I don't know, because it just depends on if you just can't buy a home or you can't get into an apartment because your credit record and your credit score has been damaged by someone who's using your name illegally, that seems pretty damaging.

If your family can't find shelter, there's some real damages associated with that.

In any case, the overall number of people in the United States peaked an estimated 14 million in 2023.

We'll have to remember that was under Joe Biden.

And however, the number of unauthorized immigrants has likely declined in part due to the increased deportation and reduced protections under the Trump administration.

That sounds like a good that 14,000,000 sounds low.

We've been hearing between 10 and 20 million most of my life.

I'm sure the number is quite a bit higher.

That's only a number that's estimated by the Pew Research Center, which tends to lean left in their projections.

So they're very confident that it's that it's only 14,000,000 and that's the peak.

But there's no, there's no evidence of that.

How do you know if somebody is not here legally if you don't have numbers on it?

And no one's going to admit like, hey, by the way, I'm not supposed to be here.

I've committed a crime.

I'm involved in an active crime right now.

I want to tell you who I am not likely.

This does seem like one of those things that is like kind of a mixed bag.

I don't know that it's a win, but it's nice to be able to focus on it.

And it's nice to see 450 people removed from jobs that they shouldn't be in.

So I don't want to always bag on people that do a crap job because there are plenty of those and we could do it all day long.

I do want to point out that, you know, our government is an imperfect system.

It does a really nasty and weak job of a lot of the things it's supposed to do.

They should have never been here in the first place.

And unfortunately, even though they ramp these things up, you'll notice that ATF, HSI, FBI, all these other federal agencies were involved.

That tells me that they haven't done the thing that they were supposed to do, which is that they've been hiring all these these new ICE agents, but they don't have a way to actually move them down the line and have them actually do the operations.

In theory, we don't need FBI agents doing immigration enforcement, nor should they unless they're going after people that happen to also cross into one of the FB is other things like transnational organized crime, movement of drugs, guns, blah, blah, blah, right, complex financial crimes.

If they're doing scams, stuff like that, great.

But I don't necessarily want our FBI investigators doing this thing simply because you've hired 10,000 or you're going to hire 10,000 new ICE agents, but you don't have the Academy space to do it.

As usual, the government proposes a solution.

It involves spending a bunch of money and then like whether or not it works is sort of like up for grabs.

So just be aware of that.

One of the other things that I've seen people get really, really excited about this is sort of a pseudo law enforcement and military thing.

We showed you video the other day of Atda, Trenis Diagua or whatever the hell they're called.

Venezuelan gang boat being smoked by a drone, some sort of ISR platform up in the sky doing a thermal scan, catching them in the open water, dropping some sort of ordnance kaboom.

And people want to go out there and cheerlead it.

But I kind of like I had, I had I think John Burke was saying it over on social media yesterday, like what do people feel like from the military?

And I was trying to figure out what it's hard to cheer for people that are doing things that are gross and destroy America And bringing fentanyl in is obviously horrible and and drugs in general.

We have a supply side problem.

I mean that we have a demand side problem.

Rather the supply is going to keep coming in because people want that.

But I kind of like the way that Rand Paul had to say, you know, there's too many people that want to cheerlead actions that are kind of iffy and questionable.

Let's just assume that it was a legally justifiable move.

My question is, is that really the way that we should be using our resources?

It's the same question.

Should we really be using the FBI, which is supposed to be a sophisticated organization?

Just ask them, should we be using them to go after something as low level as immigration?

So maybe going after the dangerous stuff, one would think, shouldn't they be waiting to collect the credit from your local Sheriff's Department for actually keeping you safe Anyway, Rand Paul kind of talking about world police.

I think this is useful.

That cartel boat, which you know, I as I personally think that's a brilliant deterrent to this kind of activity.

Is is that how you see it?

You know, I guess, you know, it's hard to have any sympathy for drug dealers, you know, trying to import product into our country.

But at the same time, I guess you might ask the question, you know, where does it end?

Are we the world's policeman, the international policeman?

Are we going to be blowing people up off the coast all around the world trying to interdict?

Really, I'm not sure we have the finances to be the world's policeman.

So on the face of it, sounds good.

Nobody's going to have any kind of lost love for a bunch of drugs going down in the ocean and killing some some gang at the same time.

Really, where does it end?

And is it really the constitutional duty of our government to be, you know, policing international drug trade everywhere around the world?

If, if it's, if it's, I'm going to cut it there.

He's asking the right question.

I think the question should be is what is our government?

What is it supposed to do?

I think it's what we explore here on a regular basis.

And what we often find out is that the government is not doing the thing that you, the taxpayer, expects them to do.

And they don't represent themselves honestly.

We got a real issue when people assume that the function of government is to keep you safe.

No, I think their job is to keep other people from getting involved in your business and allowing you to exercise the things you're supposed to have, right.

What they really end up doing is sort of infringing on those rights.

And you end up in this sort of this devil's bargain where we are constantly negotiating for our own freedoms.

And the cost of it is just going to be your privacy or your liberty when you when you give up the ability to, you know, to basically take responsibility for your own safety.

And, you know, I also like you guys saw the 90s Harrison Ford movie clear and present danger.

And I was also, you know, probably a teenager when that stuff came out.

And I cheer the the the SF guys going and taking down, you know, drug cartels in Columbia.

That was kind of the mission set back then, you know, but Jack Ryan fan, sure.

I like, I like Chavez, right?

What was his name?

Ding Chavez the the shooter.

Like, we can all cheer for people that are getting rid of evil locally.

At the local level, we get down to it, like at the minutia.

But at a policy level, it gets kind of dangerous when you start having these unfunded, unfounded, you know, unfounded sort of actions, broadly speaking.

So all that goes to this weird discussion.

And I let off with it because RFK Junior apparently went out in front of a Senate hearing and he said some things that made me very uncomfortable.

And they probably should make you uncomfortable too.

I think yesterday's hearing and I've got the the best piece of it here.

Here, I'll just show you.

I'll tease this up.

This is ABC telling us the four takeaways from RFK Junior's fiery Senate hearing over CDC turmoil and vaccines.

The the take away that I had listening to a bunch of cuts of this and I didn't sit and list the entire thing.

So maybe I should.

But I, I can't listen to politicians do theater for that long.

Very often.

What I took away is that he's acting in a political way.

He's a smart guy.

We probably have a lot of overlap in values when it comes to protecting children from things that are dangerous products.

But I also think the danger of hiring Democrats to go represent you when you're Republican or worse when you're a conservative, is that they are still Democrats.

And RFK Junior, for better or for worse, you know, in this narrow scope is probably OK.

But his idea for solving problems leans on government.

And that is not the way our country is really set up, because if you're going to lean on government to solve problems like violence or something like that, you end up ceding a lot of your agency and you end up ceding a lot of your liberty.

So we'll read the four things actually.

First, let me just say thanks to the folks at Patriot Coolers because they are awesome.

And we've got we've got to do a little little plug for them.

Patriot Coolers is our longest sponsor here at the Kyle Seraphin show.

It's Patriot coolers.com.

The promo code is Kate Yle.

If you guys watch this program, you'll always notice there is one over my shoulder.

I actually don't get to use this one even though I like it a lot.

It's got suspendables etched stuff.

If you guys want to have something etched that's custom, whether it's something that's palatable or not, if it's conservative minded, they will not cancel you.

They will still make it for you.

Or you can just get one of their great regular products like straight off the catalog.

Easy to do.

They're an easy gift.

They're an easy choice if you are are looking to replace something out there.

And they're patriotic in their their branding and in their values.

They support disabled veterans and they support us, which we really appreciate.

Patriot coolers.com promo code Kyle, save yourself 10%.

Like I said, they've been with us since February of 2023.

So since this podcast was able to to hold an audience big enough to monetize, they were the first ones to jump on the bandwagon.

So they've been with us since the beginning, like some of you, and I'm super grateful for them.

And then the other thing is, is like they're great products.

So it's super easy to go out there and recommend them because if you buy them, you always go like, Oh yeah, I really like this.

I've given them as gifts.

I've got a neighbor who's using one of their, their soft coolers as a, as a lunch box and it keeps ice for for days and days.

They're great if you're doing outdoor stuff.

We're coming to the end of that, but we're moving into some of the fall seasons where it might be nice outside.

So check out my friends over at Patriot Coolers.

And, and give them a look, if you're in the market, don't spend money.

You don't need to, obviously, but that's where we're at.

Let's do the four takeaways.

I like 4 takeaways.

These are when they like sort of tell you like, oh, we're just going to sum it all up for you right now.

Let me show you before actually let me show you the, the, the worst of the takeaways.

And this is like what happens when you put, I don't know.

I don't know what this is.

I don't want to see Donald Trump nominated for a Nobel Prize for science.

I just, that seems really cringe worthy to me.

So we'll do that and then we'll do the four takeaways.

Here we go.

This is Bill Cassidy talking about it, not as a senator, but as a doctor.

As if we care.

When you're a politician, you're a politician.

And I'm approaching this as a doctor, not as a senator.

I am concerned about Children's Health, seniors health, all of our health.

And I applaud you for joining the president in a call for radical transparency.

Thank you for that.

I said yesterday, I believe it, that President Trump deserves a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed.

If he had been President Obama, he would have gotten it.

But because of Operation Warp Speed forcing the federal government to come to a vaccine development within 10 months when others said it couldn't be done, we saved millions of lives globally, trillions of dollars.

We reopened the economy.

Economy's an incredible accomplishment.

Mr.

Secretary, do you agree with me that the president, that the president deserves a Nobel Prize for Operation Warp Speed?

Yeah, absolutely.

Senator, let me ask you.

But you just told Senator Bennett that the COVID vaccine killed more people than COVID.

Wait, that was a statement.

I did not say that.

OK, then let me ask because you also were Senator.

I just want to make clear, I cannot say.

We'll check the record.

That's a question of fact.

You also said that you were also, as lead attorney for the Children's Health Defense, you engaged in multiple lawsuits attempting to restrict access to the COVID vaccine.

Again, it surprises me that you think so highly of Operation Warp Speed when as an attorney you attempted to restrict access.

I'm happy.

I'm happy to explain why I have.

I had three minutes and 30 seconds left.

All these things, if you've ever been watching any of these hearings, they're all theatrical.

It's all me getting a sound bite, me auditioning for whatever my preferred news coverage is going to be for the night.

So if I'm a Democrat, I'm going to go out there and audition for CNN or I'm going to audition for MSNBC and hope that they pick me up so that I can say the thing.

They'll play the clip and then they'll ask me to respond to it.

It's the same thing.

The people that are, you know, nominally Republicans, they're going to go out there and look for that, that Fox News thing.

I'm not really interested in what you said, and I'm not really interested in what you have to say.

I'm interested in what I have to say because this is my time to get a little bit of press coverage and then I can turn around and I can fundraise on it.

This is the entire game and it's awful.

There's the four takeaways.

I'm going to give them to you because I had to scroll there.

Deep, deep, deep.

This article goes long and it's very detailed about stuff that's not very detailed.

So he defended his CDC shake up and the firing of the of the director whose name was I think what, Susan, Susan Morenes.

Apparently there was an op-ed that was published and she repeated that she was partially fired because she wouldn't prematurely sign off on vaccine recommendations from their Advisory Council over the CDC.

And and he denied that.

And so they said, you know, is she a liar?

It's like you can write anything you want in an op-ed.

So she's lying to the American people in the Wall Street Journal.

And he said, yes, Sir.

So that's funny.

Like, I think that's commusing.

At least he's holding some ground on things.

And by the way, you can lie in an op-ed.

You're not supposed to lie underoath, even though people do, especially our current FBI director seems to have done that.

All right, so then you've got some other things that can go on.

Cassidy, who you just heard there.

And some of the other Republicans joined the Democrats and they challenged Kennedy on vaccines and how great they are.

And aren't they the best thing ever?

And isn't Operation Ward Speed so good?

And so you got this sort of push, this sort of pharma push, and they're very, very upset about Kennedy canceling $500 million and federally funded mRNA vaccine funding.

So you can imagine the people that were getting that $500 million were very upset about it.

And I'm sure they made that clear through their various lobbyists and so on.

One of those is actually highlighted in this particular clip where you've got Elizabeth Warren very upset.

She's super upset about vaccines and she's doing the scolding routine that she does.

So here's a fun interaction where he calls out the amount of money that she received from lobbies that are pharmaceutical related.

I never promised that I was going to recommend products with which there is no indication.

And I know you've taken $855,000 from pharmaceutical companies, Senator.

I never promised that I was going to recommend products with which there is no indication.

Yeah, but when you.

So she's very outraged and he's obviously, like going to get his point across.

And the two of them are yelling over the top of each other.

And the one thing that I always notice about these hearings is nobody knows how to tune a microphone.

I don't know why they use the microphones they do.

Those are look like they're condenser microphones that are picking up everything and they have massive plosives.

You know, those noises is the worst.

I wish they could just clean their audio up.

If we're going to do theater, we should do better miking.

So that would be my recommendation.

If our government wants to get more credibility, they should probably hire some sound people.

That's the biggest take away that I have is I really don't like the way that you're miking your audiences.

And maybe teach people not to lean so far in and out.

Anybody who knows about microphone technique, it's supposed to move with you.

You guys will notice me.

I think Tim Poole does it really all the time, too.

You're constantly moving the microphone to get it the right distance.

And when they don't mic, well, then you can't hear what's going on.

All right.

Anyway, senators were pushing for clarity on COVID vaccine access.

They really, really wanted to know about that because they want to know about the money.

And then of course, the last thing was he appeared mean NBC covered and said that the GOP supports vaccines.

So that's really good for them.

They were excited to find out that GOP don't voters were polled.

And so they can try to convince people that other people like you also think that vaccines are great and to the point of COVID vaccine access, which I don't know why people are still using them.

In fact, that might be a good question for our chat.

Many of you have family members who decided to get the shot.

Maybe you did too.

Maybe you went and got boosters because you thought it was a value.

I would like to know, maybe we can do this on locals.

You guys can go over to kyleserafin.com.

We'll start a whole post there and I just want some replies to the thread.

You can do it on X as well.

I'd be interested.

Feel free to tag me in a post.

What I would like to know is did you or your family members take booster shots to the COVID vaccine, and are you still taking them?

And if you are not still taking them, what made you stop?

And when?

That's it.

That's the only question because I don't know who's out there fighting for access to it.

But apparently, Kathy Hochul is going to make sure that pharmacists are allowed to administer COVID shots.

You don't have to go to a physician.

So they're going to make it as easy as possible.

And I found this to be somewhat amusing just because of that.

We really need to make sure that people have access to the thing that nobody seems to want.

I don't know who's getting these shots.

I don't know why they're getting these shots.

I don't know anybody that wants to get a shot that they've already admitted doesn't really work.

And because they took them away from the recommendations for children, you've got senators that are truly upset and unable to go out there.

And again, this is like this sounds like pharma lobbying, but I just want you to know her executive order will allow pharmacist to both prescribe and administer.

So you don't even have to go to a doctor.

You can get them from a pharmacist, which by the way, makes most sense.

I actually condone the idea that pharmacist should be able to prescribe things.

They have a doctor in pharmacology or in, you know, they're, they're doctors, a pharmacy, whatever the heck that that degree is.

They have PhD in that field.

Why they're not able and they have to get a license in that field to prescribe, to put drugs.

In theory, they should be able to prescribe drugs.

The fact that the American Medical Association doesn't really go with that, I don't get it.

Pharmacists know more about drug interactions than doctors do almost always because that's literally the only thing that they do.

They don't deal with the anything else, just the, the, the chemical interactions in the body.

And having known a couple pharmacists, they are paid really well to not do any of the things that they know how to do.

And they end up just doing like most of them don't even do compounding.

They just count out pills or their license allows other people to count out pills.

It's really a weird, a really weird system that we've created.

All right, let's do a little bit more.

Imagine if you wouldn't let children take COVID shots or if you wouldn't force them to get COVID shots.

This is the debate that's happening in Florida right now.

Removing mandates and removing mandates is really a big problem for everybody.

If you're on the left or if you're taking money from pharmaceutical lobbyists, etcetera.

This critical advisory panel has lost scientific credibility after years.

Colleagues, we spend so much time not looking at this as Democrats and Republicans, but it's good science and scientific, you know, credibility.

And now the American Academy of Pediatrics has warned that the committee is being politicized at the expense of Children's Health.

American Academy of Pediatrics, you think they're lying to?

I think the American Academy of Pediatrics is gravely conflicted.

They get their biggest contributors of the four largest vaccine makers.

They run a journal, Pediatrics, which they make a lot of money on.

That is completely dependent on pharmaceutical companies.

So I don't think I wouldn't put a big stake in what they say that benefits pharmaceutical interest.

Senator, I didn't politicize, he said.

I depoliticize it.

The Congress has been investigating, he said.

Over the country, Mr.

Secretary, scientists and doctors are saying otherwise.

Well, all over the country, the sciences and doctors told us that we had to wear a mask and then we didn't have to wear a mask.

And then we could be 10 feet away from each other or 6 feet away from each other.

Or maybe if we got a shot, then we can get closer and hug.

But you could only see people who died through a glass window for a cold or a flu.

And then they categorize people who got shot in the chest is dying from this disease.

You know, like they lied to us.

So we don't believe you.

The credibility of the institutions was the real question, I think.

I think Senator Kennedy honed in on it.

And the, and the little clip we played yesterday.

The credibility of the institution is the question.

The American Pediatric Association doesn't tell me how I'm going to handle my kids.

But let's get to the root of the issue, which is that if you don't mandate things, then it won't be part of the law.

And if it's not part of the law, then how are we going to get you to follow our religion that says that you must do exactly what we say and you must be complicit and you cannot have your own thoughts outside of our broader institution.

And here is, I guess he's swinging back left now, again, he's pretended to be on the right for a little bit or he pretended to be reasonable.

But this is Chris Cuomo kind of revealing what the Chris Cuomo that we remember, the guy who hid in the basement in the Hamptons or whatever the heck, he was hiding out and popped out after shivering and shaking even though he was out like doing stuff.

This is one of the COVID actors who moved that kind of scam forward, telling us that law is the religion of our nation.

And that was news to me because I actually thought that we were not a country with a national religion.

You can't just say the the parent is the cornerstone.

Yeah.

For in terms of what happens with my kid, yeah, that's my call.

That's your call.

Is daddy for your brood.

That's not what we're talking about.

The cornerstone here is the law in the society.

Our national religion is the law and the reason that it.

Evolved.

Where it is now?

You can argue too many vaccines.

How many vaccines?

Look at it again.

Show us the data again, Fine, but you are not the last word, OK?

The authority having jurisdiction is the last word about what it takes to go to a public school.

You can home school.

But these recommendations evolve because you don't get to decide whether my kids get sick or not.

Only your kids.

OK, now he's got Benny Johnson on there.

I don't know that Benny Johnson is the best guy to debate this dude who is very sort of boisterous and New York like, but let's just take his argument for whatever it's worth.

Before we do the argument, let's take a quick breather for Spotify to do the Spotify ads.

There you go.

OK, here is the argument that he essentially is making.

First of all, he's saying that religion of this nation, the national religion is the law in the United States.

That's crazy.

That's truly, truly wild.

And that scares the crap out of me because our law is very, very imperfect.

So to worship at the altar of an imperfect God is scary.

But the second thing he's trying to say is, and he's, he's talking about whether or not we need to mandate vaccines across the board.

You must have one in order to come into this institution that you fund with your dollars.

You're going to compel my tax dollars from property taxes or sales taxes or whatever else to fund an institution.

And then the only way that I can go and participate in that institution is if I do something that only should affect me.

The concept of a vaccine, that something will be able to vaccinate and therefore protect you in advance.

Prophylactic protection for a disease would mean that you're exposed to it and then you develop antibodies and then you are safe from that vaccine or from that, from that, that pathogen, whatever it is.

It doesn't mean that you can't contract it and it doesn't mean that you can't spread it.

So if you have your children who are quote UN quote, unvaccinated from whatever this thing is, and you introduce them into an area where everyone else theoretically is vaccinated, then maybe they end up with polio or measles when the other kids are safe.

That's the claim.

What does that have to do with anyone except the parents choice to do something?

They should be able to accept risk and that's what we're talking about.

Whether or not you can legislate my ability to accept risk for my own offspring, of which I am the sole person responsible for.

And that's crazy.

Imagine the argument and this is the one that the memes used to do if you guys recall during the COVID nonsense.

If I don't wear deodorant, then your deodorant won't work.

Now in the case of the deodorant situation, it might be that I now smell like body odor and you don't.

And you don't want to be around people who have body odor.

But you can't stop that, can you?

And it doesn't injure you, you just don't like it.

Now imagine that you're totally protected from something.

So it's it's odorless and it's tasteless and it's only going to affect me negatively if I'm around you.

Under what circumstances would you have the right to legislate the things that go into my body if it has nothing to do with you?

This is not even as good as the libertarian argument, which is sort of like that, that, you know, you're right.

Stop where my freedoms are like we have this this boundary between US and my freedoms can continue to grow.

And I'm completely unchecked until I run into a place where I inhibit somebody else's freedoms.

I'm not even going to be able to touch your freedom because you are going to be injected and theoretically safe.

And this argument was made ad nauseam over and over again throughout this COVID chaos.

What I never heard was someone make the argument that this is our religion.

And so maybe that's why we have this this clip that we played yesterday and I'm going to play it again.

If we're going to have the debate about where do rights come from, what is the purpose of this nation?

And do we have a national religion that is somehow hinging on what is it?

It's hinging on on you telling me what to do, that we have to worship the law.

I know people that do worship the law, but I don't think they should.

It's a very, very weak and imperfect God, full of garbage, full of contradictions within itself, as usual.

That's why we have to have judges.

Here's Tim Kaine again versus Senator Ted Cruz.

Two more senators talking about sort of the nature of our rights.

I actually have a Bishop to respond to this.

I went to the clergy since they're talking about the whether or not our rights come from God.

And I think that's a good answer to it.

The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't come from the government, but come from the creator, that's what the Iranian government believes.

So the statement that our rights do not come from our laws or our governments is extremely troubling.

So Senator Kaine said in this hearing that he founded a radical and dangerous notion that you would say our rights came from God and not from government.

I I've just walked into the hearing.

As he was saying that, I almost fell out of my chair because that radical and dangerous notion in his words is literally the founding principle upon which the United States of America was created.

And if you do not believe me, and you made reference to this Mr.

Barnes, then you can believe perhaps the most prominent Virginian to ever serve Thomas Jefferson who wrote in the Declaration of Independence.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their Creator.

It seems really straightforward folks, if you're following right now, if you're watching at the moment, make sure you're subscribed to the channel on YouTube.

We appreciate that.

If you guys are on rumble, we have a Little Mix up with with Chris Crumble the the Chris Pavlovich, who is the the owner of the CEO of rumble.

He was the founder of it and we're seeing problems and he said that it's just in your head.

So if you're having issues over on Rumble, join us over on YouTube.

We'd appreciate that.

You can follow us on X.

You can follow us on locals.

It's Kyle seraphin.com.

Make sure you like the video.

We found out that the likes and this is the studio.

It's a one man show.

So if you see glitches or problems on my end, I will tell you when they are because it's just me doing it.

But what we did find out is that likes on Rumble drive us on to the leaderboard.

And we just happen to have a hugely disproportionate number of likes per views because you guys are so tuned into it and because I must ask for it.

So if you want to continue to push yourself on the leaderboard and prove that their numbers are junk, you guys can keep doing that over there.

I'm going to show you kind of the, the, the, the, the response to this from a Catholic Bishop.

I'm a Catholic guy.

You guys don't have to take his theology.

But what you can do is you can say that obviously when you make reference to the founding documents that resulted in the American experience that we're in currently right now, we can say that the rights come from the creator.

And that is not some sort of heretical argument.

And it certainly doesn't violate anything even in our laws.

And we don't actually worship the law in this country.

That's not our national religion.

Hey, everybody, it's Bishop Baron.

I just feel obligated to speak out against something that I came across today and I just found it so outrageous and really so dangerous to our democracy.

It was Senator Tim Kaine at AI think it was a Senate confirmation hearing and he was actively contesting the view that our rights come from God and not from the government.

And he said, it's very dangerous if you claim that our rights don't come from laws and from government.

Well, what struck me was he's a senator from Virginia.

Virginia was a state of Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, both of whom took it as fundamental to our democracy that our rights don't come from the government, they come from God.

So we know the familiar words of Jefferson, right, that we are created equal, created by God.

We're endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights.

Among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

You see, so basic to Jefferson was the fact that rights come first.

They're not invented by the government.

Rather, government exists.

And remember, this language from the prologue of the Declaration to secure these rights doesn't invent them, doesn't ground them.

It secures them.

It recognized them as objectively coming from God.

And then its whole purpose is to secure them, to serve them.

I think too, of that familiar word from Jefferson.

Inalienable.

These rights are inalienable now.

Why?

Because they come not from the government, but from God.

If the government creates our rights, it can take them away.

This is what I want to see from clergy so much.

I want to see this.

And so I'm going to keep an eye on this particular Bishop.

I want them to be involved.

Your clergy, if you are a Protestant, if you're a Catholic, if you're Orthodox.

I need to see our clergy get involved in this discussion because it is obviously a position now being pushed.

And I'm seeing it from multiple angles, whether it be from politicians or whether I'm seeing it from folks that are in the news media.

If you're going to tell me that the religion of America is our law, we are going to have a real big problem on our hands and they're going to push this to a moment of crisis.

We've already seen them favor one side and they do favor that position.

But to say it explicitly means that the churches need to be involved.

I need to hear it from the pulpit.

I need to see it on social media, from the people that have authority, that have the respect of those in their congregations.

It is time to be involved politically.

Unfortunately, there is no way that you can separate this discussion.

And what did he say about inalienable?

Because that's also really interesting.

Yesterday we talked about the the idea that a right is an entitlement.

Absent a duty, you have an ability to do something, but the only way that you keep it is that you actually are able to defend it.

That's the reason why, first, we have the freedom of speech and religion and press and the right to assemble and petition for redress of grievances.

And the way that you quash that is by saying, yeah, you have those rights, but you also have no duty to exercise them.

And by the way, you have no ability to defend them.

So if they are inalienable, then there must be some additional pieces to those rights.

Again, they pre exist.

They should not be taken away.

But to tell you a radical position that I hold and I want you to consider it.

There is a current discussion right now about whether or not the DOJ should get involved because of the transgender shooting that happened in in Minnesota.

We always see a backlash and reaction and it's always a great opportunity to try to take guns from someone.

I don't think this is 3D chess.

I think Pam Bondi doesn't understand what guns are about, why they exist, why people have them, what that right is.

We do have Harmeet Dillon over at the Civil Rights division of the of the DOJ saying the right things and and defending gun rights.

That's fine, that's good.

But the DO JS got real problems.

It's reactionary.

It's doing certain things that very, very obviously look political and they're getting embarrassed in felony cases because they're bringing them in the District of DC.

This is yet another story Did a judge rips the DOJ for causing embarrassment to the government brings another case that it dismissed.

I found this quite interesting because this is going to go back to our discussion of rights in one second.

But this was a another dismissal and the judge is Zia Farooq.

I think that's the name.

It's FARUQUI.

So unfortunately we have these like non an unfamiliar American names, but he's a he's a, a District Judge that I've seen in DC that's been handling a bunch of stuff.

And he did a bunch of J6 case as well.

And so I thought, well, he's throwing out this case.

It was he reasonable?

Was he fair in his discussions of January Sixers?

And so I, I just typed in his name in January 6th case thrown out.

And he also was very upset with the government bringing the massive J6 case.

At least he went on record and said this, this is in in March of 2022.

He said if you were going to charge the largest case ever, if they don't have the resources to do it, then they ought not to do that.

It feels like the government has bitten off more than it can chew here.

So he is critical of government overreach.

It seems like that's somewhat consistent.

I get that he's probably hard on the left and that he wasn't necessarily fair to people that were being treated, but at least he was noting the problem.

When the government goes out and acts like an activist, that is a big issue because if the government's going to go out and, and destroy these quote, UN quote, rights that we have in the Bill of Rights, that you have this right to a fair trial, that you have a right to due process, that you have a right to face your accusers and so on and so forth.

The government is not supposed to go out there and do searches that they're supposed to give you all the exculpatory evidence, all the things that we've, you know, built around this quote UN quote, religion of, of our law, which is very imperfect and it's administered by men, obviously.

Then I start getting really concerned because we've seen people on the political left have no problem running right through what we would consider to be rights.

So the, the sort of radical take that I have is that a transgender person has the same right to a gun as you do, and so does a felon, by the way, after you've been convicted.

The, the way that we need to operate our society should be quite clear.

If you are safe enough to exist in society with the rest of us, then all of the things that exist in the, in the scope of rights should be yours.

You should be able to vote.

You should be able to own a firearm.

You should be able to be able to move freely.

And if not, if you were on some sort of like tether, then you're not really a free citizen.

And why are you out of prison in the 1st place?

Why are you out of a mental institution?

If we need to be able to control you and restrict things that are God-given, inalienable rights, then what are you doing free because you're a threat to the rest of society?

So it's an ideologically consistent position that you will not see most people on the on the Republican side take.

Pam Bondi was out there saying, you know, maybe our DOJ will go and try to restrict gun rights for trans people.

Now, it's going to be interesting because what you're going to find out is that you're going to actually set up the people on the political left that are desperate to defend trans people and they're going to say, no, trans people also need to have gun rights.

Now, we're in a really weird world.

But if you want to have the ideologically consistent place, it has to be real simple.

If you are allowed to walk around free, then you are a free person.

A free person has certain inalienable rights.

And those things are guaranteed under the Bill of Rights.

And that's going to be your life, liberty, your pursuit of happiness, your ability to speak right.

You cannot be restricted in those things.

And I don't think that they should be restricted outside of due process.

And I think that once you've gone through, if we call it rehabilitation, we're setting people up for failure.

And let me also say this, there are a few people in the world that need a gun more than someone who was a felon who got out of prison and is now like looking over their shoulder because they probably have more enemies than you do in your life and you can have a gun.

Their bad choices should either result in them not being free because they're unsafe or it should result in them being free citizens.

And the reason is you can't actually legislate people to do things that are moral.

Here is Governor Lugen.

She's from New Mexico.

She was my governor for a little period of time.

She also is a like a gun grabber and she was accused of grabbing a man's genitals.

So she's a genital and gun grabber.

That's kind of interesting.

Here she is talking about a gun restriction that was going on.

And I was following this as we became public.

I think this was in 2023.

I got involved with some folks in New Mexico.

The results of restricting your freedoms are predictable.

The people who don't follow the law are going to continue to do it, which is the argument that we all make.

Let's be consistent about the argument.

Here's Governor Lugen saying things that are funny and predictable a few weeks later.

Kind of like Segway here.

So, effective immediately, no person other than a law enforcement officer shall possess A firearm, either openly or concealed in Albuquerque in Bernalillo County.

Really.

Think that criminals are going to hear this message and not carry a gun in Albuquerque on the streets?

For 30 days, no.

One week later, since the week I declared an emergency, we've seen 296 shots fired in Albuquerque.

In Berlin County.

Violent crime moved through the city that resulted in a gun injury, 2 car hijackings and a kidnapping with suspects not yet in custody.

Great success.

How do you, how do you, how do you make that proclamation and then go out and say, oh, and by the way, I don't predict that it's going to help and it didn't help.

And criminals did criminal things.

That's crazy and wild.

So the fact that that person went out there with a straight face and told you things that are so ridiculous, like they are completely divorced from the previous reality that they lived in.

They don't even have to address it, right?

And that continues to be the position that we see on the political left.

They are not ideologically consistent.

I'm going to show you another little thing about a woman whose name is Rana Farhar.

She's a global economic analyst, and she is a writer.

And she starts talking about fascism and the way that businesses worked in the 1930s.

What's funny is none of these people see the irony in the way that everybody jumped in line and complied with the government.

I don't know that they know what the word fascism means, but we cannot be historically ignorant and we also should be ideologically consistent.

If you have beliefs, the beliefs are that you cannot legislate people to do the right thing.

We can only assign punishment.

We cannot go out there and do pre crime.

That's not possible.

We can only find people that have done it, and then we can do enough harsh penalties and lock people up so they're out of the population if they're dangerous and they don't get to come back in if they are.

And if they're not dangerous, then they get to be released.

You're never going to be able to stop people from doing the thing that's in the human heart.

That's the understanding.

That's why not only do the rights come from God, but also we have this, this original sin.

If you're a Christian that you believe in that man has a propensity to do harm to others, to himself, to those around him, to society, and so on.

Listen to this woman making the argument that nobody did anything to stop Adolf Hitler in the 30s and 40s and that's why we're really worried about businesses today.

She completely ignores the fact that during the COVID insanity and during her probably preferred President Joe Biden, the government made mandates on private businesses through OSHA and others and leaned heavily on using the force of government to get private buy in.

And they all did.

Because businesses do what's good for business, and it's not good to get on the wrong side of the government.

This is why it's actually kind of hard to find an attorney that wants to go out right now.

We've got a couple of calls into various people who might represent me in the case of Cash Patel's girlfriend, who wants to sue me over something.

Because nobody wants to get on the wrong side of the FBI director.

That should not be.

Our government should not be allowed to be doing things like this.

And if they're afraid of getting on the wrong side of a man, that tells me that they know that they'll do the wrong thing with the power they have.

This woman sort of admits it without even understanding how funny the irony is.

And we'll go into the quick definition of fascism, and then we'll go into a last thing because I'll show you what it looks like.

If you don't have the ability to defend yourself, if you don't have inalienable rights, then your job is to just roll over and die.

This is exactly what happened in the 30s and 40s.

And one thing that I am.

Very, very concerned about as someone that covers business.

You look back at history, business was silent in the 30s and 40s.

Business was, didn't speak out in Europe, often, didn't speak out in the US against fascism, against the breaking of the rule of law.

And they came to regret it.

And I see a lot of parallels today.

I I just don't know what fascism is, which is when the government makes certain incentives and leans aggressively on and controls what private industry does and basically rewards those that comply.

You know, kind of like what we saw under Joe Biden's administration when they made these OSHA mandates over COVID.

So all this stuff for me goes back to the same localized original scent.

Yeah.

Does it go back to 1913?

For sure.

Does it go back to 19 O eight?

I think it does.

I think that being completely undermine, like our entire foundation of the Republic has been undermined to the point where it's not the thing that we found it.

But it's amazing to me that these people don't even see the parallels.

They immediately want to go to Hitler because it's Donald Trump and he's doing tariffs and tariffs are bad and tariffs are like fascism.

Meanwhile, they have absolutely no problem when the same thing happened on the other end.

And the result of it, if you actually just comply non-stop with the government, eventually the government tells you that if someone comes in to kill you, you should hide and hope they don't get you.

And this is a a guy.

He's the I think a police chief or a regional chief in York, which apparently is part of Canadia.

The snow Mexicans.

This is a snow Mexican position.

This is not what Americans do nor is it what we should do.

This is a warning for those of you that live in this country.

In the unlikely event that you find yourself the victim of a home invasion, we are urging citizens not to take matters into their own hands.

While we don't want homeowners to feel power powerless, we urge you to call 911 and do everything you can to keep yourself and loved ones safe until police arrive and be the best witness possible.

This could mean locking yourself in a room away from the perpetrators, hiding, fleeing the home, but don't engage unless absolutely necessary.

But as it stands, we know the best defense for most people is to comply.

As you've just heard a number of safety recommendations.

In the unlikely event that you find yourself the victim of a home invasion, we are urging citizens not to take matters into their own hands.

I wanted to play that one more time for you.

Don't take matters into your own hands.

Just let other people decide.

Give up your agency, surrender it, and then pray for mercy from some rando person that broke into your home and has already shown a propensity for not complying with the law.

It's the same argument that was made by Governor Lucian.

We're going to take the guns away and the people who abide by the law are going to abide by it, and the people who don't, don't.

What a weird, weird moment.

Amy Coney Barrett is running around promoting a book saying that this country is not in a constitutional crisis.

This is a head story from NBC and I agree with her.

We are not in a crisis because that would mean that we have an acute problem.

We do not have an acute problem.

We have a chronic problem.

We have a chronic problem of people not understanding history, not understanding where this Republic came from, not understanding what civics are, not understanding how the law works or what is designed to do.

And certainly they seem to not understand that when countries fall away from God and they start declaring that law is their religion.

Historically, you can look at biblical text and find that countries that fall away from their core beliefs tend to have significant problems.

And it would be no shock to find out that we have crazy corruption and it's just because people don't even know their own history.

I assume that's what was the problem for the for the ancient Israelites as they were walking around.

Maybe they had forgotten that when they screwed up, it actually went really, really badly for them and our nation.

The further away it gets from the original principles and the understanding and principles that are God based, you end up having some serious issues.

We're getting there.

Somebody asked me yesterday, like, where do you see this going?

I see this going into whatever the 4th or 5th iteration of America is, and it won't look like today's.

I hope that it's not particularly violent for too long, but I do think it won't be good.

The proper answer to someone breaking into your home and deciding that they are going to take your things and that they are not going to ask permission.

If they're not going to beg you, they're not going to appeal to your humanity.

They're going to use force against you for most people in America, because most people that are gun owners now are owning either a 9mm handgun or they own a an AR pattern rifle.

The right answer is most likely three to five rounds of 9mm right in the center of the of mass.

That's the right answer.

Just put it right in the middle of mass and make them stop.

And if you're a better shot, maybe you're putting 55 grain to 77 grain, you know, bonded copper and lead into the tea box and shut them down.

Because you can't come into my house and take my things.

This is where my family lives.

These are my kids stuff.

You don't even get rights to take my kids stuffed animals.

You come into this home, I assume you're willing to do violence because you've already entered a place that you know you don't belong.

So why are you on the street in the 1st place?

I'm just going to say I, I'll have to let God judge me on that one because I'm going to defend the people that I'm responsible for.

I think you should too.

The government's not tasked with doing it.

They do a very, very imperfect job.

They do a pretty awful job actually at the end of the day.

And now I'm going to have a discussion in our our chat about whether or not we should have shotguns or handguns or rifles.

The right answer, the right gun for you is the gun that you have when you need it.

So make those decisions, whatever that looks like.

If you live in a place where they won't let you do it, consider why do you live in a place where you have inalienable rights that have been alienated by your state and then go somewhere else.

I'm going to keep telling you guys, I don't understand people that live in places where you cannot defend your own life and your own property and your own freedom and your own offspring.

No one else is going to do it for you.

I've been in the the mechanisms of government.

I've cleaned up people from shootings as a paramedic and I have responded to things as a investigator.

Law enforcement comes after the fact.

That's their job.

They're not supposed to stop active crimes, even though they act like they do.

They say serve and protect what they really ought to do.

What their real job is, is to investigate and enforce laws that have been broken.

And that's hard for most people to understand.

So don't give up your agency, protect yourself.

That's the end of today's program.

I do have something fun for you, so I will remind you one more time.

Check us out over on locals.

A lot of you guys have been doing that and it's really, really inspiring.

I appreciate you.

You can follow me on X at Kyle Serafin and you can give us on YouTube.

It's Kyle.

It's what is it.youtube.com slash at Kyle Serafin.

If you've never tried Spotify and you're used to listening on another app, consider using Spotify.

I just had a couple of converts yesterday.

It's Kyle serifandshow.com.

It'll take you right there.

You can do the website, but being able to listen with the lock screen on apparently is a big feature that you can use and I like it and it doesn't cost you anything extra.

You don't have to be a premium member.

The second thing is, is that you can flip between audio and video.

So when I say look at Trump's face in today's episode, you can push switch to video.

It'll pop up the video, stream it for a short time, you can go back to audio.

Maybe you want to do it when you're at a stoplight if you're driving in your commute or something.

Having that ability to switch back and forth, it's really neat and I don't know anyone else that's doing that functionality.

YouTube has an imperfect version of it.

Spotify is really where it's at for that.

And I didn't ever use Spotify until I started hosting there, so I also didn't know.

But I'm going to make the pitch for them and I appreciate them.

They host us for free.

For whatever it's worth.

If you're listening after the fact, Spotify does video and audio both cost you nothing.

You don't have to pay to be a member of it.

It's like it's a free app as well.

So check them out if you have not already.

And they have all the same stuff.

There it is.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, let's do a palate cleanse.

We're going to the weekend.

You guys remember when things used to be like more sensible and we could just see what the hell was going on?

We didn't have gender confusion ideology, so does Jim Breuer.

This guy was in one of my favorite movies as a dumb kid and and here it is.

This is like the guy from Half Baked.

When I grew up in the 80s, you knew what was going on here.

I'll tell you right now, I'll watch your reaction.

Every generation is programmed and then they try to deprogram years later.

I grew up here, everyone knew a gender just by the earring they had and what ear it was in.

I'm a knucklehead, but I was a real knucklehead back there.

I'll tell you exactly what it had on, OK.

I had a dangling cross earring.

Left ear, left ear.

That was the left.

Yeah.

I know who you are.

I see.

I see the holes still in there.

And that was to let gay people know.

Look, you can look, but you can't touch.

Left side means I'm really into chicks with my dangling earring.

The cross means I'm a little religious.

Just say.

And then if you were gay, you put it in your right ear to let everyone know, hey man, I'm gay.

Which threw me off like, Oh my God, Larry's gay.

How did you not know?

He's a good football player?

I didn't know he could play kickball and we gay.

I trust him.

I didn't know.

And if you had an earring in both ears, you're like, whoa, I don't know what earring to.

There's more to it, but yeah, life used to be a little bit more simple.

I don't think people are abiding by those rules anymore.

I see earrings all over the place, I see tattoos, I see nose piercings, I see face piercings and and tattoos that I can't understand.

I don't get it anymore.

So maybe I'm just like an old fogey, but I, I do understand what Jim Brewer's talking about.

It used to be better.

All right, I hope you guys have a good weekend.

I hope you guys have a a nice one.

We're also got a pretty big interview.

I dropped three hours of of more conversation with retired Supervisory Special Agent Bill Taylor, including some evidence that you guys are going to want to hear that FBI senior executives involved themselves in perjury, committed perjury on the stand.

We cannot have law enforcement that doesn't follow the rules.

And I think you're going to find that the same information that I've been sharing with you is something that someone I didn't know while we worked in the Bureau.

It's the same thing that he saw.

All you got to do is find yourself on the wrong side of things.

And you get to experience what Gerardo Boyle did, you get to experience with Steve Friend or Marcus Allen or myself or anybody else.

You get kicked out of the fraternity.

And, and I think Bill Taylor's voice is sane and sober and he's exactly the same thing that you thought an FBI agent would sound like reasonable, understands that he's not always going to be an agent and understands that the government is limited in its scope and it's supposed to be involved in fair process.

And that wasn't the case.

So that's what we got coming up on this Sunday.

And if you're over on locals, you'll get it on Saturday.

It's already uploaded.

So look forward to seeing you guys for that as well.

God bless you have a fantastic and a safe weekend.

And I'll see you guys on the other side.
