=== Spencer Pratt Debate Highlights (02:30) ===

[00:00:00]  Ladies and gentlemen of the interwebs, I have not yet added to the stage the intro video.
[00:00:04]  There it is.
[00:00:05]  You are looking at the next mayor of Los Angeles unless there is severe chicanery afoot.
[00:00:11]  By the way, get in on the markets before they radically change because right now he is at a 20% underdog.
[00:00:16]  Spencer Pratt from Debates last night.
[00:00:19]  There was one reservoir that was out of commission.
[00:00:29]  He is correct.
[00:00:29]  A million years ago, it was for wildfires.
[00:00:36]  You lie!
[00:00:37]  But over the last 30, 40 years, it's been for drinking water.
[00:00:41]  You ain't nothing but a liar!
[00:00:45]  He talked about the winds.
[00:00:46]  That is just completely inaccurate.
[00:00:48]  No way.
[00:00:49]  This is an hour by hour forecast here, and you can see that over the next couple of hours, we still have some pretty decent gusts.
[00:00:54]  If that were accurate, then the planes would have been able to fly.
[00:01:03]  And so the winds reached close to 100 miles an hour.
[00:01:06]  Nope.
[00:01:07]  And through parts of Pacific Palisades, we've got some got something to the 20 to 30 mile per hour range.
[00:01:13]  And the planes were unable to fly.
[00:01:16]  Well, then, damn, if you don't get to replay this, this is an incredible liar.
[00:01:21]  The devil is there!
[00:01:23]  Bitch, I'm the truth.
[00:01:28]  The devil is there!
[00:01:30]  Bitch, I'm the proof.
[00:01:32]  That's amazing stuff.
[00:01:33]  That is Spencer Pratt.
[00:01:34]  That's a highlight clip from last night's mayoral debate.
[00:01:37]  I want to say it's last night.
[00:01:37]  I'm fairly certain it was last night's mayoral debate.
[00:01:40]  That man must win and not must in the necessity sense.
[00:01:44]  He deserves to win.
[00:01:45]  He's going to win unless there's some serious chicanery.
[00:01:48]  And though we're not talking about it today, I have a guest that we're going to talk about YouTube being an asshole for today's first segment.
[00:01:55]  We were talking before going live, and I'm like, I imagine, you know, like they said Trump had to beat the cheat.
[00:02:00]  He had to beat the margin of cheat in order to ensure victory.
[00:02:03]  And that's why you couldn't just, you know, Be happy with a one point lead or a two point lead because you got to be able to be beyond the margin of the cheat at the federal level.
[00:02:11]  I imagine the margin of the cheat at the state level in California is like threefold or fourfold the national average.
[00:02:19]  So Spencer Pratt has to be polling at like 15% above in order to be able to securely guarantee it, ensure a win, and defeat the chicanery, which will undoubtedly be afoot.

=== Copyright and Demonetization Issues (15:19) ===

[00:02:30]  But whoever's in charge of his social media team, you're doing amazing stuff.
[00:02:35]  I was just told at one point in time.
[00:02:37]  Back when I used to do the car vlogs, to not use the bell sound because it irritates dogs.
[00:02:43]  I have my headphones on, so neither of my dogs were getting irritated by that.
[00:02:47]  People, let me just make sure that we're live before we get going here.
[00:02:52]  I get an email from a man named Dave the Lawyer, and I immediately think it's spam, and I have to do a little bit of a due diligence before responding.
[00:03:00]  And it turns out it's a real man, a real lawyer who lives actually not far from me in this beautiful free state of Florida.
[00:03:08]  Is telling me that he's a victim of the YouTube AI mass demonetization spate.
[00:03:12]  Call it the Bloody Sunday Midnight Massacre, where they go out and they just use AI to detect allegedly AI, not unoriginal, but inauthentic content.
[00:03:22]  And we've seen this spate.
[00:03:23]  We've seen people taking to social media, demanding or what's the word when you beg, basically, begging YouTube to re monetize them because they have just basically killed their business.
[00:03:35]  Dave the lawyer emails me and I'm like, what's the deal?
[00:03:38]  He tells me this is the deal.
[00:03:39]  And I say, we want to bring out a concrete example, put a face to the dehumanizing, deplatforming power of what has become too big to succeed.
[00:03:50]  YouTube, the biggest video hosting platform owned by Google, the biggest search engine on earth, they use their search engines to favor themselves and exploit their own monopoly, and then arbitrarily, capriciously, but most importantly, wrongly, destroy people's lives and livelihoods overnight with the flip of a switch, leaving them to.
[00:04:11]  Jump on other social media platforms demanding, begging, clamoring for some mass support to get them back to where they were.
[00:04:18]  So, without further ado, we're going to bring on a man whose name is Dave the Lawyer.
[00:04:24]  Hold on, I'm bringing him this way.
[00:04:26]  How goes the battle?
[00:04:27]  Well, let me just say, I wouldn't characterize myself as a victim, but there has been something of a falling out between the partnership.
[00:04:34]  You know, me and YouTube and a gazillion other creators seem to have, yeah, overnight just hit with it.
[00:04:41]  Yeah, it's amazing.
[00:04:43]  First of all, what's amazing is that the niche that is LawTube is a beautiful, blossoming, burgeoning niche, but one that exists basically at the whims of a platform that can snuff it out overnight.
[00:04:55]  How long, first of all, you are still a practicing attorney.
[00:04:58]  We were talking about it earlier, but.
[00:04:59]  Give everybody the 30,000 foot overview for those who are meeting you for the first time.
[00:05:03]  Sure.
[00:05:04]  I practice constitutional, civil, and administrative law.
[00:05:06]  No blood and guts.
[00:05:07]  I like to keep it nice and boring, but it actually translates really well.
[00:05:10]  You know, there's a ton of stuff to cover if you want to cover it on social media.
[00:05:13]  You got a lot of folks who cover the celebrity divorce hearings and all kinds of stuff.
[00:05:18]  The Afro man hearing was a great one.
[00:05:21]  But there was a gap in the judiciary, you know, in Congress, in Washington, D.C., the Senate, and the House.
[00:05:26]  There's a ton of good stuff happening there.
[00:05:28]  But there was sort of a.
[00:05:30]  You know, mainstream media, I feel like sometimes they would glaze over the oversight hearings.
[00:05:35]  You would tell them, they would tell you what they saw, but they wouldn't give you the actual sound bites.
[00:05:40]  You know, Schumer apologized today for advocating for violence around Supreme Court Justices' homes, but you don't actually hear Schumer say the apology.
[00:05:47]  Did he apologize?
[00:05:47]  I don't know.
[00:05:48]  So I thought, let's go here and let's do that.
[00:05:52]  Started competing with people like C SPAN.
[00:05:54]  I don't think they're monetized, but Forbes Breaking News definitely is.
[00:05:57]  And I considered them my competition.
[00:05:59]  All of a sudden, the AP started striking me for public domain stuff.
[00:06:03]  And then all of a sudden, bam.
[00:06:05]  Hit with inauthentic content.
[00:06:07]  You've been doing this for a few years.
[00:06:08]  And first of all, I want to highlight you're up to 480,000 subs, which is kind of amazing.
[00:06:13]  And you've been doing it for a few years.
[00:06:16]  You established this community, which is pretty massive.
[00:06:20]  Tell me about the striking by other platforms for content.
[00:06:25]  This has happened to me, not a strike so much as demonetization or claim.
[00:06:30]  They say claim it and block it in certain areas.
[00:06:33]  And I end up just clipping out the segments because A, I'm not working for somebody else.
[00:06:37]  And B, You can fight it in certain circumstances, as I've done and said it's public.
[00:06:41]  It's either fair use and piss off, and typically they drop the claim, but sometimes it's just not worth it.
[00:06:47]  What happened in your situation?
[00:06:49]  So, I had several AP claims come up against me, and these are all public domain hearings.
[00:06:55]  They don't own it.
[00:06:56]  And it's specifically the AP UK.
[00:06:58]  I'm not sure why it was coming from there.
[00:07:00]  I use public domain music from the YouTube platform, like Beethoven mostly.
[00:07:04]  These guys are long dead, and their music is way into the public domain.
[00:07:08]  So, there's no dispute there.
[00:07:10]  You know, I feel like maybe they were complaining about me.
[00:07:13]  Maybe I got swept up in a wave of that AI just moderate moderation.
[00:07:18]  But it hasn't been a successful appeal yet, which is a little embarrassing for me.
[00:07:23]  But we're going to move towards it, looks like maybe arbitration.
[00:07:28]  Yeah, that's amazing.
[00:07:28]  No, I've actually never had an unsuccessful appeal or contestation.
[00:07:33]  And sometimes I say, like, okay, if it's 15 seconds, I'm going to clip it.
[00:07:36]  I'm not even going to get into the argument as to whether or not it's sufficiently de minimis use.
[00:07:40]  So, you build up this channel, you're still a practicing attorney.
[00:07:43]  I don't care about the financial side of it, but it's a monetized channel and you've got good numbers.
[00:07:47]  And then what happens?
[00:07:48]  Because I'm going to bring this one up.
[00:07:50]  We've got one in our locals community and it's Francis Chalton.
[00:07:52]  I've got to increase my screen because I can't read that.
[00:07:55]  Fucking AI fake shit videos are everywhere on YouTube.
[00:07:58]  And I mean, everywhere.
[00:07:59]  If you're a notorious, infamous, or famous person, there are channels that run AI crap of the individuals.
[00:08:06]  I don't know if it's with their authorization and I suspect it's not, but they're using AI to call.
[00:08:11]  Actual long term channels, AI.
[00:08:13]  It's wild.
[00:08:14]  It should be investigated as fraud.
[00:08:15]  They are stealing money from creators.
[00:08:17]  Easy win for the DOJ.
[00:08:19]  That's from Francis Charton.
[00:08:20]  Francis, thank you.
[00:08:21]  Tell us what happened with you.
[00:08:24]  Sure.
[00:08:24]  Well, I mean, so these videos are not AI.
[00:08:26]  I have definitely played with the AI thumbnail generation, but that's kind of new for my channel.
[00:08:31]  These are clips from hearings, and I tend to clip them.
[00:08:34]  You know, the hearings, I like them because they're very structured.
[00:08:38]  They get five minutes with the witness, and you can start when the chairman tosses it to the person who's going to ask the questions and end it when their time expires.
[00:08:46]  It's a perfect clippable thing.
[00:08:48]  You don't need to add AI.
[00:08:49]  Although I've seen the AI channel, the baby channels, where you have the baby Trump or baby John Kennedy.
[00:08:55]  Those are funny.
[00:08:55]  I like them.
[00:08:56]  But this is, I thought, would be informational, be educational.
[00:09:00]  And that's how I present it.
[00:09:02]  When I was early on, I was rushing myself and I would cut dead space.
[00:09:08]  But now I just let it breathe.
[00:09:10]  I would let it breathe just so there's no question.
[00:09:12]  I'm not editing this stuff deceptively at all because that is part of what they will call inauthentic content.
[00:09:18]  I think before it was inauthentic content, this is July 2025, they called it like mass produced spam content.
[00:09:25]  There's been some changes.
[00:09:27]  And it's a little bit of a rabbit hole.
[00:09:28]  You can start with the YouTube terms of service.
[00:09:30]  That doesn't spell out what's going on here.
[00:09:32]  You go to the community guidelines, which is referenced in the terms of service, and you get a little bit more of an answer.
[00:09:37]  Although inauthentic content has not been added to those specific community guidelines that I'm referencing.
[00:09:43]  And then that's not the only governing piece of work that's in charge.
[00:09:49]  The master service agreement for Google is where you get your arbitration.
[00:09:55]  And then all of it's governed by the state of California, which is.
[00:09:58]  Has its own problems.
[00:09:59]  Now, the bulk of your stuff is it strictly snip and clip or is there your own commentary and analysis?
[00:10:05]  Sure.
[00:10:06]  Go for it.
[00:10:07]  Yeah, I do most of that on the live streams themselves and mostly in the chat because if you're talking over somebody and it's a live stream, you can't hear anything.
[00:10:17]  And so I'll do a lot of my commentary in a chat.
[00:10:20]  I'll do a lot of educational, filling the gaps.
[00:10:23]  I'll use Westlaw to answer questions people have about the specific policies that come up.
[00:10:27]  And not everything is always educational.
[00:10:29]  Sometimes it's Jerry Springer on steroids, depending on the witness and the person asking questions.
[00:10:34]  But it's, yeah, there's definitely my presence is there, and sometimes it's not there.
[00:10:40]  But if they want me to be on the channel, they got to say that, you know?
[00:10:43]  No, but that's the question also is, you know, I can imagine there's, first of all, the AI generated thumbnails, horse crap if that's the basis for it.
[00:10:52]  If the recycling clips is going to be the pretext, well, first of all, that's all that Associated Press does.
[00:10:59]  I mean, I say not that's not all.
[00:11:01]  That is a legitimate form of clipping, synthesizing, and especially when it's public domain, that's what it's there for.
[00:11:08]  And so now, if the idea is to bypass, to impede on copyright law where something becomes public domain and it's everybody's new, then they're going to say, well, if you published public domain stuff, then it's inauthentic or unoriginal content and we're going to strike you for it.
[00:11:23]  That's a way of empowering copyright over that which does not any longer have copyright.
[00:11:28]  And so you had a channel now for a few years and they just overnight demonetize it.
[00:11:31]  And as we were talking about earlier, I noticed you haven't posted in a few weeks.
[00:11:36]  I mean, in terms of the practice, I presume you also use the channel for branding, for publicity, for your own practice of law.
[00:11:44]  Absolutely.
[00:11:45]  Absolutely.
[00:11:46]  Yes.
[00:11:47]  And so you have now been demonetized.
[00:11:50]  What was the reason they gave?
[00:11:51]  I don't know if I saw a screenshot of the explanation.
[00:11:54]  They started with inauthentic content.
[00:11:56]  It kind of changed a little bit over the course of the support.
[00:12:01]  They just kind of said you're not in compliance with YouTube's partnership policy.
[00:12:05]  Program and they left it very vague.
[00:12:08]  They don't ever tell you exactly what you've done wrong.
[00:12:11]  It's almost like they have a directive not to.
[00:12:14]  So it's a little bit of a question mark, but I think you kind of nailed it.
[00:12:19]  You have, you know, the AP and Forbes breaking news, they're able to clip things to death, and there's almost no curation.
[00:12:25]  It's almost just everything, right?
[00:12:26]  They'll clip everything and then just put it out there.
[00:12:29]  I've tried to keep it to either the most important moment in the judiciary of any given day or the funniest moment, just depends what wins.
[00:12:38]  And somehow, you know, this has gotten caught up in their net.
[00:12:42]  Yeah.
[00:12:44]  And I want people to understand this because people will say, well, okay, if you're using AI, like, Some people use an AI voice if they've got enough content of their own, and it's AI generated voices.
[00:12:53]  I don't know how they can detect that, but okay.
[00:12:55]  Some people are going to say, AI, even of your own likeness and image, I can understand it.
[00:12:59]  Other people are going to say, copyright violation, I can understand that.
[00:13:03]  And others are going to say, well, if all it is is cutting segments from public domain stuff, why would YouTube let a channel monetize that?
[00:13:12]  The flip side is the capricious demonetization once they've already gotten you on the channel, once they've gotten you on the platform, once they've made Whatever money they're making off of you.
[00:13:23]  And I wonder if they still run ads on the stuff that they demonetize, because I'm fairly certain that was one of the changes, which was they took the opportunity to run ads even on content which was not monetized.
[00:13:35]  I haven't caught them yet.
[00:13:36]  I checked before we started just to make sure.
[00:13:38]  Keep an eye out for that.
[00:13:40]  Some people might say, well, if you're not adding anything to it, well, then whatever.
[00:13:44]  The flip side to that, however, is that this is a way of bypassing or empowering expired copyright law or non existent copyright ownership.
[00:13:53]  And For the betterment, for the privilege and the financial and narrative control of legacy mainstream media.
[00:14:01]  Question people are asking in the chat is now that you have a sustainable injury, have you thought about taking action as a lawyer?
[00:14:07]  Well, so I am all about alternative dispute resolution.
[00:14:11]  I think the justice system has some major problems here in America.
[00:14:15]  You know, if you watch enough of these hearings, it's constantly asked is it systemically racist?
[00:14:19]  Is it systemically racist?
[00:14:20]  And I don't think it's systemically racist.
[00:14:22]  But I do think there are aspects of it that are systemically racist.
[00:14:24]  Broken.
[00:14:25]  It can cost $100,000 pre litigation and half a million just to get through discovery.
[00:14:30]  That is a symptom.
[00:14:31]  And by the way, wages are stagnant, not lawyer wages necessarily, but everybody else's.
[00:14:36]  So, how do you even survive in that kind of system?
[00:14:39]  Lawyers need lawyers that can't even afford.
[00:14:41]  Sometimes, have you?
[00:14:43]  I've always said, like someone in the chat said, you know, you could just self censor and make money like other people.
[00:14:48]  I jokingly, when during COVID called COVID my Sharon Osiris, it was more of a joke than anything else.
[00:14:54]  And I've never, I mean, if you call that self censoring, then maybe, you know, maybe I'm guilty of that, but I've never run.
[00:14:59]  Into a cognizable or litigatable prejudice that YouTube has caused me.
[00:15:06]  They've demonetized some videos, and I'm fairly certain it's abusive, but I've floated some legal theories here.
[00:15:13]  To the extent you're monetizing your channel, you're no longer a consumer.
[00:15:17]  Have you ever contemplated any unfair business practices?
[00:15:19]  It's governed by California law, and they've got the UNRWA law out there.
[00:15:24]  Have you thought about any unfair business practices in terms of going after them or trying to get state attorney generals involved?
[00:15:30]  I haven't gotten to that point yet.
[00:15:32]  I did a little bit of research, and it seems like creators have a very uphill battle.
[00:15:37]  Like I said, the Google master service agreement controls, and then that's where we get arbitration from, which I'm not against.
[00:15:44]  And I get where people are coming from.
[00:15:46]  You want to jump to class action.
[00:15:48]  But is that always the place to start?
[00:15:50]  And especially if I'm just trying to be a creator on my own, I don't want to have a bad partnership relationship with them.
[00:15:57]  Do I want to sue them right away?
[00:15:59]  These are the things.
[00:16:01]  Thoughts that are running through my mind at the time.
[00:16:04]  But I will say this because of the COVID self censoring thing, I did take a hit during COVID.
[00:16:07]  And this was a big problem for my channel because they wouldn't give me my plaque, which they sent me a week before they demonetized me.
[00:16:14]  So, they had some sort of review.
[00:16:17]  So, during COVID, I ran a hearing.
[00:16:19]  It was between a Senate, and by the way, I switched to Senate because it's more rare on YouTube that the House natively uploads all their stuff to YouTube.
[00:16:27]  So, I've concentrated on the Senate over the years because it is not as common to find on YouTube.
[00:16:33]  So, it was a Senate hearing.
[00:16:34]  Ron Johnson's asking questions of Director Redfield, the former CDC director.
[00:16:39]  He's a doctor.
[00:16:40]  And they're talking about how the shot was supposed to stay local, and it didn't stay local in the arm, and it went all over the body.
[00:16:45]  And that clip was a World Health Organization centric strike that I got for my channel.
[00:16:51]  And I suffered that strike for about a year.
[00:16:53]  I was applying because I had passed 100,000 subs for that plaque.
[00:16:58]  And there was nope, not yet.
[00:16:59]  You have a strike from the X, Y, and Z, and not yet.
[00:17:03]  And so just a week before the inauthentic content hit, I put in the application because it's about the time I'm like, okay, it's been over a year.
[00:17:10]  Maybe I can get this plaque.
[00:17:12]  I apply.
[00:17:13]  They didn't give it to me automatically.
[00:17:14]  So I had to escalate it through support.
[00:17:17]  They have human eyes, assumingly, looking at the channel and say, okay, yeah, this is legit.
[00:17:21]  Let's give them a plaque.
[00:17:23]  So it's totally mixed signals.
[00:17:25]  Totally mixed signals.
[00:17:26]  Now, you mentioned it.
[00:17:27]  You actually reminded me, I did get one strike with Dr. Francis Christian.
[00:17:31]  I did a street interview.
[00:17:32]  He was a COVID doctor, an actual doctor, talking about his actual medical expertise.
[00:17:37]  And they gave me a strike for medical disinformation.
[00:17:41]  I made a video at the time jokingly doing their Orwellian re education program.
[00:17:47]  And But no, I say I've been reading the book.
[00:17:49]  I forgot about that one.

=== Escalating Channel Monetization (09:57) ===

[00:17:50]  No, that's the other one.
[00:17:53]  When I saw the questions to that, I was like, this isn't about knowledge.
[00:17:56]  This is about programming.
[00:17:59]  And I've had a bunch of doctors on, Jessica Rose.
[00:18:01]  I've had a bunch of COVID victims on.
[00:18:05]  So I don't know if I fly under the radar or if I weigh my words better.
[00:18:08]  And I haven't been swept up in this AI demonetization either.
[00:18:12]  I'm half expecting it to happen because I've noticed other algorithmic trends or what I attribute to algorithmic trends.
[00:18:18]  Uh, going on on YouTube, so now you file an appeal and you haven't heard any answer, or was it like an instantaneous confirmation?
[00:18:24]  It wasn't instant, it seemed like it was going up.
[00:18:27]  I contacted my liaison and she was, you know, fighting for me.
[00:18:31]  Uh, but at the end, the policy teams apparently said no, and which is also strange because less than a year this is a few months ago, I'm in the creator program.
[00:18:40]  We have the weekly meetings you can get into to learn more about your niche, how to grow your channel.
[00:18:44]  How long have you been in that program?
[00:18:45]  Sorry, I don't cut you off.
[00:18:46]  How long have you been in that program?
[00:18:47]  About a year, about a year, or maybe more.
[00:18:49]  And I've had some great success.
[00:18:51]  And I went to the one the policy team was on, and I made sure to ask a question.
[00:18:56]  Hey, specifically about the COVID stuff, has the landscape changed?
[00:19:00]  And they said, yeah, our policies have changed around this.
[00:19:04]  You know, we're not going to get, you know, strikes.
[00:19:06]  And I wonder, no strikes, but is there maybe a small room effect happening that's possible?
[00:19:10]  But they said, and they said this, we've seen your channel, we like your channel too.
[00:19:15]  So it's just kind of like everything's going well until it wasn't.
[00:19:19]  And they've never mentioned anything about inauthentic content at any point you attended.
[00:19:23]  It's funny.
[00:19:23]  At one point, I had an agent or whatever they call them.
[00:19:27]  They were removed from my channel for reasons that I didn't care to explore and didn't care for at the time.
[00:19:32]  Never attended any one of those meetings, never did anything.
[00:19:34]  But that's so that's wild that they know you.
[00:19:37]  You have a real human of a channel manager, whatever they want to call it.
[00:19:41]  Do you still have that person?
[00:19:42]  Yeah, I'm still invited to stuff and she's great, you know, and I appreciate the relationship and how she fought for me.
[00:19:48]  But at the end of the day, I think it was above her head.
[00:19:51]  Yeah.
[00:19:51]  Well, was it above her head or is there no head above?
[00:19:53]  Like, did you ask her, are there actual humans above you looking at this?
[00:19:57]  I didn't ask.
[00:19:57]  I didn't ask yet.
[00:19:58]  Dude, you got that.
[00:19:59]  It has to be the next question.
[00:20:00]  I think they know, and they probably will not tell you, it's all automated.
[00:20:04]  Like, they probably, from their own perspective, can't even get in touch with a human above them or to get any human response from it to get confirmation one way or the other.
[00:20:13]  That's, well, okay, that's wild.
[00:20:15]  What are you, I noticed you seem to have started something on Rumble.
[00:20:18]  Have you started a Dave the Lawyer on Rumble?
[00:20:20]  I'm working on it.
[00:20:22]  It's definitely, I was hoping to strike up a conversation with you about Rumble and have a little bit of a love fest about why I should go over there.
[00:20:28]  And I'm excited because they're just, you know, down the street from me, actually.
[00:20:31]  This is it, correct?
[00:20:33]  This is not a replica channel.
[00:20:35]  Yeah, that is my channel.
[00:20:36]  And as soon as they give me the API key to bulk upload, it's on.
[00:20:42]  Yeah, that I know that.
[00:20:44]  They're working on it.
[00:20:44]  Mario's working on it.
[00:20:45]  We'll talk about that afterwards.
[00:20:46]  Yeah, no, it's true.
[00:20:47]  I see.
[00:20:49]  There are criticisms or complaints people come from YouTube and they want everything to be exactly like YouTube on Rumble.
[00:20:57]  If things take time, especially when you're dealing with a company that has the monopoly of the video database, it has the monopoly of the video Google search engine, and it'll take time.
[00:21:07]  I think it's going to happen.
[00:21:10]  Let me ask you this another question.
[00:21:12]  Do I want to see if there's another tip question in here?
[00:21:14]  So, you haven't uploaded since you're going to let them break you.
[00:21:17]  And I say that tongue in cheek.
[00:21:19]  Have you taken to X for something of the campaign that other people have successfully waged on X?
[00:21:25]  Right, I did.
[00:21:26]  And so I waged that campaign, and they got into the DMs and they're like, okay, we escalated and your liaison's involved.
[00:21:33]  But then when it came back as a negative, I kind of scrubbed it off my feet.
[00:21:37]  I mean, like I said, it's a little embarrassing being an attorney and losing an appeal.
[00:21:41]  If I can scrub it from the internet, I'm going to scrub it from the internet.
[00:21:46]  Oh, you got to monetize on that failure.
[00:21:49]  And then it only turns into an even bigger success when you lose three times in a row and then you finally get it.
[00:21:55]  With my video with Alex Jones, when they gave me a strike, they removed the video for hate speech.
[00:22:00]  And it was nothing more than an analysis of his deposition in the context of, I think it was the Connecticut Sandy Hook.
[00:22:06]  Sure.
[00:22:07]  And I appealed it, lost.
[00:22:08]  They took it.
[00:22:09]  I said, this is borderline defamation.
[00:22:10]  When people go to that video now, it's a dead link and it says remove for violating the terms of service for hate speech.
[00:22:15]  Yeah.
[00:22:17]  I have since gotten a little more foul mouthed.
[00:22:19]  But then I ultimately won.
[00:22:20]  It came back and it was monetized.
[00:22:22]  And that was the two biggest haha to everybody.
[00:22:25]  So, what is your short term plan in terms of what you've built there?
[00:22:28]  Because you still got a big asset.
[00:22:30]  And I presume you can't give up at 481,000 subs.
[00:22:33]  No, look, it's a 90 day window, right?
[00:22:35]  It's like a cooling off period.
[00:22:36]  They didn't shut me out of the program.
[00:22:37]  They said in 90 days, you can reapply.
[00:22:39]  And if I come back in 90 days, I was disrupting Forbes Breaking News and C SPAN and the like.
[00:22:46]  They're in for it now because now I'm going to have.
[00:22:49]  A fire lit under me.
[00:22:50]  I'm going to really take it to them.
[00:22:51]  They thought they were being disrupted before.
[00:22:53]  They're really going to suffer now.
[00:22:55]  So it is.
[00:22:57]  And I'm not saying this like I don't wish that I should have a problem so that I have a cognizable or litigious claim.
[00:23:03]  People should need to make the claims for unfair business practices, unjust enrichment, deceptive commercial practices, and whatever state you're in.
[00:23:11]  And sure, I mean, I've never read the terms of certain, well, I haven't, not never, I haven't read them recently.
[00:23:16]  I presume there's a mandatory arbitration clause.
[00:23:19]  Yes.
[00:23:20]  Yes.
[00:23:21]  But what they had with Patreon was a way to get around it.
[00:23:24]  If everybody files arbitration claims, that was going to be a financial drain that itself caused people to rethink things.
[00:23:32]  This is your ex handle.
[00:23:34]  You're a practicing attorney.
[00:23:36]  So the no bloods, no guts.
[00:23:39]  Are you solo or are you at a firm?
[00:23:41]  I'm solo.
[00:23:42]  And this is, you know, YouTube is great because it allows me to operate on contingency, essentially, which is, you know, like I said, there's a lot of things that are broken about the justice system.
[00:23:51]  The way that lawyers bill.
[00:23:53]  It's kind of gotten out of hand in a lot of ways.
[00:23:55]  And I've really appreciated YouTube for picking up the slack and allowing me to operate in that way.
[00:24:02]  It's not kind of out of hand.
[00:24:03]  I mean, it's like lawyers can't afford lawyers.
[00:24:06]  At some point, AI is going to temper down the hourly rate of lawyers, I think, if it gets there.
[00:24:10]  But the practice of law has changed a lot in the past, you know, since the 60s, 70s, and 80s.
[00:24:16]  It was almost practiced like the way Lincoln was practicing it.
[00:24:19]  And then all of a sudden, this explosion of technology, computers, the CD, and now the internet, now AI.
[00:24:25]  Well, yeah.
[00:24:25]  And Zoom hearings was kind of novel just a few years ago.
[00:24:28]  Now it's.
[00:24:29]  Well, COVID sort of radically changed that.
[00:24:32]  Jacqueline says unjust enrichment, 1,000%.
[00:24:34]  There are a great many claims unjust enrichment, deceptive business practices, parasitism.
[00:24:40]  That's not recognized under US law, but some Canadians might be listening, and we have this concept of parasitic behavior under Canadian law.
[00:24:48]  They lure people in, they get them to build their homes, and then they basically evict them and appropriate their property.
[00:24:55]  The property being the audience, they got the eyeballs already.
[00:24:57]  And right now, they are doing it to benefit, strengthen, give the upper hand back to legacy media, because when they were demonetizing the Epstein crap, Fox News, CBC, CNN, CNN, That's the Canadian one, CNN, MSNBC.
[00:25:15]  They were monetizing all of their Epstein coverage.
[00:25:17]  And so it's not just that they demonetize it and deter people from covering it.
[00:25:22]  They have an incentive to promote the content that they monetize.
[00:25:25]  And so they promote the ones that they don't demonetize.
[00:25:27]  And so it's a corrupt, self fulfilling, narrative controlling prophecy.
[00:25:32]  And right now, Lord knows what they're doing.
[00:25:34]  I think it's just an AI glitch that they're going to work out.
[00:25:35]  But you got innocent people like you caught up in the crosshairs.
[00:25:39]  Yeah.
[00:25:39]  I'm hoping the same thing.
[00:25:41]  And you're absolutely right.
[00:25:42]  It does seem like that.
[00:25:43]  My conspiracy.
[00:25:45]  Brain will think, you know, while their earnings report was just posted, it was the quarterly.
[00:25:48]  It was phenomenal for them.
[00:25:50]  So good for them.
[00:25:50]  But hey, who knows?
[00:25:52]  Who knows?
[00:25:53]  It's a lot of moving parts.
[00:25:55]  I want everybody to know because I think everybody loves a military man.
[00:25:57]  You did mention that you were in, you served.
[00:25:59]  Did you serve?
[00:26:00]  I was in the reserves after I left West Point after my first year there.
[00:26:04]  And did you, we were talking about this beforehand, but what did you say that you wanted to do?
[00:26:08]  Was it not the JAG?
[00:26:11]  What did you want to do initially before getting into law or with the practice of law?
[00:26:16]  Oh, I mean, I was into politics before that, and I had an interest in elections, even and their security around them.
[00:26:25]  And so I had actually found some major vulnerabilities in Florida's election systems.
[00:26:31]  This is the state level and the local level.
[00:26:33]  Started local, and then we found it the state later.
[00:26:37]  But I ended up getting in trouble for that.
[00:26:39]  And that was at the very beginning of my law school career.
[00:26:42]  Before I even started law school, I started law school, and then on the weekends, I'd have to drive myself to jail.
[00:26:47]  So, and this is all because a woman, You know, was definitely dropping the ball when it came to elections.
[00:26:55]  Amazing stuff.
[00:26:55]  Where can people find you?
[00:26:56]  I'm going to put them all up afterwards.
[00:26:58]  I showed your X account.
[00:26:59]  You're on X, you're on Commit Tube, you're starting up on Rumble.
[00:27:02]  And what can people do?
[00:27:03]  Is there a tweet out there that people can amplify?
[00:27:05]  And what can people do to follow you?
[00:27:06]  Oh, I took it that, you know, the one that they would want to amplify for the YouTube support is not there anymore.
[00:27:11]  But anything they can do, they want to subscribe to the YouTube channel is helpful.
[00:27:15]  They want to subscribe on X. Everything's helpful.
[00:27:17]  You know, I'm very eager to come back.
[00:27:19]  And when I do, oh boy, it's going to be.
[00:27:22]  From a practice perspective, what is the bulk of your practice?
[00:27:24]  Uh, you're dealing with individuals and walk ins and people, you have a website, I'm slaying dragons, okay?
[00:27:31]  So, um, it's civil, a lot of dragons out there, Dave.
[00:27:33]  There are, and that's what I love doing.
[00:27:35]  And YouTube helps me do that, and that's what I love to do.
[00:27:38]  You know, there's institutions out there that need to be, you know, the courtroom doors need to be open, they need to be dragged in, they need to pay something because they don't change their behavior on their own, typically.

=== Freshwater Fish Parasite Risks (04:53) ===

[00:27:47]  So, amazing stuff.
[00:27:49]  Well, I say, I wish you luck.
[00:27:51]  I would have told you not to delete your tweet, you might have actually deleted.
[00:27:55]  Not only exonerating something, you might have deleted something that you might have wanted to invoke in the future to show the arbitrariness and capriciousness.
[00:28:01]  But whatever, what's done is done.
[00:28:03]  Dave, people can find you on X.
[00:28:05]  It is Dave the Lawyer X. Dave the Lawyer X, not to be confused with Dave the Lawyer, which was the first account I fell upon.
[00:28:12]  Sure.
[00:28:12]  And also keep an eye out for Rumble because that's coming.
[00:28:15]  Okay, no, I'll email you.
[00:28:17]  We'll talk offline afterwards and figure that out.
[00:28:19]  Excellent.
[00:28:20]  Dave, we'll do a follow up and see.
[00:28:22]  I say having to wait 90 days is insult to injury.
[00:28:24]  And then you reapply, like, hey, take me back, you abusive spouse.
[00:28:28]  Forget that.
[00:28:29]  I would have been tooth and nail.
[00:28:32]  Even when they demonetized a few of my videos, I put it on.
[00:28:35]  Ultra super duper mega blast, but it's done.
[00:28:38]  I really appreciate it, Viva.
[00:28:39]  This has been tremendous for me.
[00:28:40]  Thank you so much.
[00:28:41]  It's great.
[00:28:42]  All right, man.
[00:28:42]  Go for it.
[00:28:43]  And I will see you.
[00:28:44]  We'll be in touch.
[00:28:44]  Excellent.
[00:28:45]  We'll be in touch.
[00:28:46]  Godspeed.
[00:28:46]  Be well.
[00:28:47]  Now, what I got to do, one thing before we keep going here I've got to do the thank our sponsor for today's show, which I almost forgot, and it's the Wellness Company.
[00:28:55]  Hold on a second, peeps.
[00:28:56]  I want to bring this up here.
[00:28:57]  I got to, oh, yeah, it's right here.
[00:28:59]  I got to go share screen.
[00:29:01]  Oh, I'm looking.
[00:29:01]  I haven't eaten lunch yet.
[00:29:02]  So now it's looking extra super duper delicious, but we're going to have to remember everything about.
[00:29:10]  The potential risk for parasites in sushi.
[00:29:13]  Hold up, people.
[00:29:14]  Let me do this right here.
[00:29:15]  You're watching this, the wellness company.
[00:29:17]  Everybody, America loves sushi.
[00:29:19]  Over the last two decades, raw fish consumption has exploded.
[00:29:22]  Sushi bars are everywhere.
[00:29:23]  Grocery stores and gas stations sell it.
[00:29:25]  Don't get grocery stores or gas stations sushi for obvious reasons.
[00:29:29]  Millions of people eat raw fish weekly, but there's a hidden risk people never talk about.
[00:29:34]  At least if you don't have a neurotic mother, you don't talk about it.
[00:29:37]  Parasites, peeps.
[00:29:38]  Salmon is one of the most popular fish worldwide, but it naturally contains more than 70 parasites.
[00:29:42]  Incidentally, that's why they flash freeze.
[00:29:44]  Salmon and tuna, and you should not have sushi that is not flash frozen.
[00:29:47]  Set that aside.
[00:29:47]  It kills the parasites.
[00:29:48]  There's another way to do it.
[00:29:49]  Most parasites are tiny, nearly impossible to see, and they're making their way into the human body.
[00:29:54]  Once inside, parasites can hide for years while frequently laying eggs before any symptoms appear.
[00:29:58]  That is why many physicians are raising awareness about parasite exposure.
[00:30:02]  Dr. Peter McCullough, one of the OGs of COVID, recommends doing a parasite cleanse at least once a year.
[00:30:08]  As a preventative measure, the wellness company offers a hard to access parasite cleanse prescription, USA compounded ivermectin and mabendazole.
[00:30:16]  Ivermectin paralyzes the parasite's nervous system while mabendazole starves them out.
[00:30:21]  Each capsule contains 25 milligrams of ivermectin, 250 milligrams of mabendazole, lab tested for quality.
[00:30:27]  You can get yours now at a budget friendly 45 day capsule that costs $250 less, giving you a 21 day parasite cleanse cycle.
[00:30:35]  Same formulas as the original, just smaller quantities.
[00:30:39]  Go to twc.healthviva.
[00:30:41]  Use promo code VIVA to get 35 bucks off, free shipping.
[00:30:45]  And it's only for USA residents, by the way.
[00:30:48]  And you can go to the link.
[00:30:49]  It's in the description and it will be the pinned comment when we are done.
[00:30:52]  It's an amazing thing.
[00:30:53]  So, one of my, you all know this, one of my, I say best, my favorite clients was a, well, he is still Chef Antonio Park.
[00:31:03]  Antonio Park, if you ever get to Montreal, go to Park Restaurant.
[00:31:06]  We did a bunch of videos where he broke down a tuna, massive tuna.
[00:31:09]  And you understood that the reason why they flash freeze fish is to kill any parasites that are in it.
[00:31:14]  And you understand also that very rarely do you actually do freshwater, um, Sushi, like, I don't know, raw freshwater, not necessarily trout, which, you know, well, trout are still freshwater.
[00:31:25]  I don't think they go into brackish salmon.
[00:31:27]  You can do because they're typically saltwater.
[00:31:30]  Freshwater fish are notorious for parasites.
[00:31:31]  That's why you cook the living heck out of it, or at least cook it properly.
[00:31:35]  But that's why you don't find freshwater sushi because it's potentially and typically parasite ridden.
[00:31:42]  And so now you know, and knowing is half the battle.
[00:31:45]  And speaking of knowing, by the way, we're going to have Kyle Seraphim come in.
[00:31:49]  The man knows too much, and now he has become the object.
[00:31:52]  Of a hit piece that is four years in the making.
[00:31:56]  You know, I'm just going to let him talk about himself.
[00:31:59]  Kyle, I'm bringing you in right now.
[00:32:02]  Boom.
[00:32:02]  Shakalaka.
[00:32:03]  Let's bring this up here.
[00:32:04]  All right, sir.
[00:32:05]  How goes the battle?
[00:32:08]  No, oh, you're still unmute yourself.
[00:32:12]  They've muted him.
[00:32:13]  There you go.
[00:32:13]  I'm going to mute you.
[00:32:14]  All right, fair enough.
[00:32:15]  The battle goes, and you look very crispy with your new camera.
[00:32:17]  Well done.
[00:32:18]  Why, thank you.
[00:32:19]  Hold on.
[00:32:19]  Let me see what I do.
[00:32:20]  I look so the lighting, it's.
[00:32:23]  I just think you look younger, and I don't like it.
[00:32:25]  Oh, that I've shaved my beard.
[00:32:26]  No, I don't like it.
[00:32:27]  I'm growing your beard for you right now.
[00:32:29]  Well, I'll take it.
[00:32:30]  It's been a day and I can already see a little bit of shade.
[00:32:33]  So it'll be back in a bit.
[00:32:34]  I had to do it.
[00:32:35]  It's like if you don't exfoliate, you get.
[00:32:37]  Plus, I wanted some sunlight.
[00:32:38]  When I shaved, Kyle, it was like a white line here.

=== FOIA Recordings Revealed (15:59) ===

[00:32:41]  Oh, I'm sure.
[00:32:42]  Like bare ass white face.
[00:32:44]  Yeah, it's baby skin.
[00:32:45]  My wife is very worried about parasites all the time, by the way.
[00:32:48]  It's like we caught a fish.
[00:32:51]  It was called the needlefish off the pier.
[00:32:53]  And we decided to try to do a catch and cook just because it looked weird.
[00:32:57]  Everybody on the internet said the flesh is blue.
[00:33:00]  It was parasite ridden.
[00:33:02]  Like, I didn't even feed it to my dog afterwards.
[00:33:04]  We cut it.
[00:33:05]  We cut it.
[00:33:05]  The flesh was blue.
[00:33:06]  They're disgusting looking fish.
[00:33:07]  And it had these white parasites all throughout the flesh.
[00:33:10]  And so, apparently, slow swimming fish are notoriously more parasite ridden.
[00:33:16]  And faster swimming fish don't have parasites as much, which is why tuna typically don't get the parasites.
[00:33:20]  Yeah.
[00:33:20]  I only eat apex predators in the ocean.
[00:33:22]  Yeah.
[00:33:22]  Well, but then the problem with apex predators is sharks and people.
[00:33:25]  But then you start getting the mercury buildup in the apex predators.
[00:33:28]  I'm fine with that.
[00:33:28]  I don't do it enough.
[00:33:29]  It's not common to me.
[00:33:31]  Kyle, what does it feel like?
[00:33:33]  When you read what is objectively a hit piece, objectively intended to spread, and I'm not biased.
[00:33:39]  I straight up laughed out loud.
[00:33:41]  You laugh out loud, but then you are also saying.
[00:33:44]  Oh, yeah, it's also infuriating because it's so stupid.
[00:33:47]  But it's legitimately hilarious because it's self discrediting.
[00:33:50]  It's a piece that was one, I knew it was coming.
[00:33:52]  Two, they've been working on this for months.
[00:33:55]  And maybe three, probably the biggest piece of it is the FBI bent over backwards to accommodate this.
[00:34:00]  You mentioned the government is behind the hit piece.
[00:34:03]  They asked for shooting review records for 10 years in the state of New Mexico from the FBI, which loathed to give you anything of any time, anytime you go to FOIA.
[00:34:12]  I currently have an active FOIA lawsuit that dates from the same time that these guys probably did their FOIA, which was right about the time we started talking about Brian Cole Jr. and the pipe bomb case.
[00:34:22]  So this all came out of the same moment.
[00:34:24]  Like they hit me up and they're like, hey, we'd like to get a comment from you about this BS we're going to write.
[00:34:28]  So I started laughing about that.
[00:34:29]  And in that time, they were able to get 10 years worth of shooting review records out of New Mexico.
[00:34:35]  And they completely buried the lead of the best part of the story.
[00:34:38]  The best part of the story is in those shooting reviews they got, where they were looking for me, they actually found that an FBI agent shot himself in the foot and is still an FBI agent.
[00:34:46]  And another FBI agent was cleaning her gun and shot her neighbor's house.
[00:34:50]  And she's still an FBI agent.
[00:34:51]  And they had no questions about that.
[00:34:52]  They always just wanted to know about me shooting some dude's target that was right next to mine.
[00:34:57]  I'm going to bring up the article in one second.
[00:34:59]  But I've never said the government was in on it.
[00:35:02]  I just said I would have had some follow up questions.
[00:35:04]  Wait, wasn't that your title?
[00:35:07]  Government hit piece.
[00:35:09]  Oh, yeah.
[00:35:12]  That is my title.
[00:35:12]  That is your title.
[00:35:15]  Then I bury the lead.
[00:35:17]  I wasn't.
[00:35:19]  It's freaking.
[00:35:20]  Kash Patel asked John Solomon, his buddy.
[00:35:23]  John Solomon and Kash Patel are there.
[00:35:27]  First of all, I know John Solomon because of Kash Patel.
[00:35:29]  That's how I got connected.
[00:35:30]  I know Kash Patel because of Dan Bongino, whose show I went on.
[00:35:34]  So that's how I'm connected to these people anyway.
[00:35:36]  And the funniest thing is for me, Is that I knew what was happening when it was happening.
[00:35:42]  The reason these guys are connected and you know they're connected, it's open source.
[00:35:45]  You can literally search Kash Patel, John Solomon.
[00:35:48]  They were the two named representatives that Donald Trump ordained to be able to deal with his presidential archives at the National Archives.
[00:35:56]  And their names, their email addresses, and their phone numbers are listed in a presidential document from Donald Trump's archives from his first term.
[00:36:03]  Like they're boys.
[00:36:05]  They work together.
[00:36:07]  He's a political activist, he's not a reporter.
[00:36:09]  Let me play this because this is where it sort of becomes kind of clear something's happening behind the scenes.
[00:36:16]  Let me add the context.
[00:36:17]  This is during your stream.
[00:36:18]  You're breaking down the article for those who don't yet know where we're going.
[00:36:22]  This is an article in Just the News that is now suggesting that Kyle Seraph and you. were fired from the FBI, not because of whistleblowing, ratting out stuff from the old FBI admin, but because of an incident on a firing range.
[00:36:36]  We're going to get into the absurdity of it and the timing, which illustrates the absurdity in a second.
[00:36:42]  But you recorded the conversation that you had with the other guy who's the co author.
[00:36:47]  What's his name?
[00:36:47]  Yeah, Stephen Richards.
[00:36:48]  Stephen, may I ask you the, I'll ask you, you can decline to answer.
[00:36:52]  You recorded the conversation.
[00:36:53]  Did he know that you were recording it?
[00:36:55]  I'm in Texas.
[00:36:55]  It's a one party state.
[00:36:57]  And then the other question was, I mean, I presume he's recording it, which is also the, Deemed consent.
[00:37:01]  It's a default setting for people who are doing that.
[00:37:03]  I have no idea whether he did or didn't.
[00:37:04]  I hope he did because that's what you should do if you're recording and you want to get things right.
[00:37:08]  Usually you just say, Hey, I'd like to record this.
[00:37:11]  If I'm calling someone to do an interview, I used to do it in the FBI all the time.
[00:37:14]  Even if I had one party and I didn't need their permission, I would always tell them, I'd like to record this for both of our, you know, and I'll send you a copy of it.
[00:37:21]  This is a standard thing you do in law enforcement.
[00:37:23]  If reporters call me and they're from, say, I don't know, the New York Times, which happened, I literally got on the, had a New York Times reporter call me and she said, I'm calling from the New York Times.
[00:37:32]  I'm so and so, whatever her name was.
[00:37:33]  And she goes, I just want you to know, I don't consent to being recorded.
[00:37:37]  And it's like, nobody gives a shit.
[00:37:38]  I'm in Texas.
[00:37:39]  You called me.
[00:37:40]  That doesn't matter.
[00:37:40]  Legally, I can record it.
[00:37:41]  I don't have to tell you.
[00:37:42]  And I did.
[00:37:42]  I recorded it.
[00:37:43]  And then the only reason I keep it is if you misquote me or you drastically do something out of context, which is, of course, what happened here, then I have the recording and I know you're a clown.
[00:37:53]  Well, let's play this now that you have the context and the very interesting words used by the individual who calls you to ask you some questions.
[00:38:01]  You obviously got my message there.
[00:38:05]  We were pointed to this.
[00:38:07]  Older testimony about your security clearance suspension.
[00:38:13]  Now, you paused it there to get this is Steve Friend's reaction to this.
[00:38:17]  Right.
[00:38:17]  I immediately, like, holy shit.
[00:38:19]  I mean, you better come back to that.
[00:38:21]  Steve didn't get the right answer right the first time.
[00:38:22]  I don't think he picked up on the we were pointed to this testimony from.
[00:38:27]  I mean, in real time, I mean, listen, I knew I was going into something, I knew what he was doing.
[00:38:31]  I used to do this for a living, David.
[00:38:33]  Like, this is what I used to do call people, ask them questions, know what I was trying to get to.
[00:38:38]  When someone calls me up and says we were pointed, I'm keying in on every single dumb thing that you say that gives me insight into what your purpose is.
[00:38:45]  And your purpose is not, it's not honorable.
[00:38:48]  No, but he's like, my issue is I probably wouldn't have been able to shut my mouth and hold off.
[00:38:53]  We were pointed.
[00:38:54]  I would have immediately said, stop to think, sorry, who pointed you?
[00:38:56]  What are you talking about?
[00:38:58]  Who did it?
[00:38:58]  When did they do it?
[00:38:59]  Under what circumstances?
[00:39:00]  But he tells you we were pointed and then goes on to ask you these questions about the testimony or the FOIA.
[00:39:07]  So tell me what they did to get documents to write this hit piece on you.
[00:39:10]  They asked Kash Patel to expedite a FOIA or somebody at the FBI expedited a FOIA for 10 years worth of shooting review.
[00:39:17]  This is coming from them.
[00:39:18]  Like, I don't know if that's the case.
[00:39:20]  Like, for all I know, they didn't FOIA it at all and someone just sent it over from the bureau.
[00:39:23]  But the claim was that he made to me is that, and they claim it in the piece, that they FOIA'd 10 years, 2015 to 2025, of all incidents involving FBI agents shooting their firearms, which resulted in 20 documents and 15 different instances.
[00:39:37]  And of those 15 instances, two of them involved an agent either shooting themselves or shooting at a neighbor's house.
[00:39:44]  And only one of them they thought matched the fact pattern that resulted in my termination.
[00:39:50]  The funny thing is, is that the incident that they have, and this is what I told the reporter, I was like, well, it doesn't actually match because I wasn't doing a firearms qualification, number one.
[00:39:59]  The last time I qualified was on March 4th, 2022.
[00:40:02]  That was my wife's birthday.
[00:40:04]  I know it for a fact.
[00:40:05]  That's the last time I qualified.
[00:40:06]  And you only qualify once a quarter, you don't do a qualification again.
[00:40:10]  So I wouldn't have been qualifying in April, but I was doing firearms training sometime.
[00:40:13]  And I'm sure this is what it was.
[00:40:14]  They just got the facts wrong.
[00:40:16]  So here we are.
[00:40:18]  They show me this thing and they're like, I've got the documents too.
[00:40:20]  I've got the stuff they got from, I don't know if, You want to present it?
[00:40:23]  Bring whatever you want to.
[00:40:24]  I don't even think you need my authorization to bring it up on your end.
[00:40:27]  Yeah, I don't even know how.
[00:40:28]  Let me see.
[00:40:29]  But anyway, long and short of it is, I knew what they were trying to get done.
[00:40:31]  They have this like silly thing, and I'll show you on the actual document here.
[00:40:35]  Let's see.
[00:40:36]  Is this, do you present it now that you can see it?
[00:40:37]  Let me see here.
[00:40:38]  I think, add to stage.
[00:40:40]  Look at this.
[00:40:40]  Okay, go for it.
[00:40:41]  Okay, so should I, can I zoom this in for you?
[00:40:43]  Before we even do one thing here, when were you dismissed from the FBI?
[00:40:48]  My last day that I was in the building was April the 18th of 2022.
[00:40:53]  It was the day after Easter.
[00:40:56]  April 2022.
[00:40:57]  When did this incident on the firing on the shooting range take place?
[00:41:02]  Apparently, it took place on 4 1 2022.
[00:41:06]  So that would have been two weeks prior.
[00:41:08]  April 1st, 2022.
[00:41:09]  That's what they're claiming.
[00:41:10]  Okay.
[00:41:11]  So this is the document from it.
[00:41:12]  And here's the best part they scanned this in backwards.
[00:41:14]  So the date that it was determined, like what was going on.
[00:41:17]  So this is called the shooting incident review group.
[00:41:19]  This is their electronic communication filing it.
[00:41:22]  Raul Buhonda was the head of the field office where I worked.
[00:41:25]  I don't know anybody else's name in this.
[00:41:26]  I don't recognize any of them, but it doesn't make a difference.
[00:41:29]  The date that they apparently came up with an answer to what the shooting incident review group voted on was July 28th of 2023, which was like a year and a half after my last day.
[00:41:44]  Just so we're clear of this.
[00:41:45]  And it says the date of the incident was 4 1, 2022.
[00:41:49]  So here's where it gets really funny.
[00:41:51]  They cite in the piece that we were all safely holstered up, according to congressional testimony of a Chris Ray appointed executive assistant director of human resources, who was known.
[00:42:00]  Commonly, as Drunk Jenny, to people who worked with her because she was known to maybe imbibe while she was at work.
[00:42:06]  That's what I've been told by a number of sources.
[00:42:08]  So, allegedly, she was a drinker on the job during COVID.
[00:42:13]  Doesn't not square.
[00:42:14]  I met her like one or two times.
[00:42:15]  And when I did, she was an utterly unserious person.
[00:42:18]  She sat down with like 15 male FBI agents, military veterans, long term investigators, people who had previous experience in law enforcement.
[00:42:25]  And she said, I want to get to know you guys.
[00:42:27]  You know, you work for my division, my branch.
[00:42:30]  So, maybe we could go around the table and you guys could all introduce yourself and tell me your favorite dessert.
[00:42:35]  To a bunch of fucking men with beards.
[00:42:39]  I was like, this is not a serious lady.
[00:42:41]  I also published hundreds of pages of her emails, which basically read like a drunken wine mom's blog.
[00:42:48]  And she was very injured.
[00:42:49]  She was injured by that, personally offended that she didn't realize that the things that she wrote in a public forum to FBI employees might be subject to scrutiny by the public at some point in time.
[00:42:59]  So, anyway, 4 1 S A blank.
[00:43:02]  I assume this is Kyle Seraphim, but that's what they're claiming.
[00:43:05]  Intentionally discharged one round from his FBI issued carbine, colt pattern carbine in an unsafe manner while participating in a quarterly firearms qualification.
[00:43:13]  So, right off bat, I didn't participate in a quarterly firearms qualification on 4 1 2022, but this was written.
[00:43:21]  But this is important because it is either inaccurately written about me or it was probably written about me and was probably wrong, David.
[00:43:27]  Like, this is the sloppiness of the FBI.
[00:43:31]  There were no injuries as a result of the discharge.
[00:43:33]  The shooting incident review was delegated to the Albuquerque field office by acting chief inspector, whoever this guy is.
[00:43:39]  SA blank declined to provide a signed sworn statement.
[00:43:41]  ERT, so no evidence was collected at the scene, and no other law enforcement agencies were involved.
[00:43:47]  Well, the last time that I shot with the FBI, the HSI was the one that was running the range.
[00:43:51]  It was an HSI instructor.
[00:43:53]  Yeah.
[00:43:54]  So, Homeland Security Investigations, they're federal agents.
[00:43:57]  We had an HSI Rangemaster or Range Officer.
[00:44:00]  So, I don't, you know, that's another law enforcement agency.
[00:44:02]  Anyway, those, they're in the details.
[00:44:04]  If this is me, then those things are wrong, which is why I told Solomon's guy, I'm like, hey, it sounds incorrect, dude, for whatever it's worth.
[00:44:12]  We're going to go to the other part here.
[00:44:13]  Yeah.
[00:44:13]  Let me see what happens if I try to bring up something at the same time.
[00:44:16]  We're going to test out the, Capacity.
[00:44:18]  See, I get Trump, but I'll bring mine on in a second.
[00:44:20]  I just want everybody to see the article.
[00:44:21]  Yeah, we'll do the article in a second.
[00:44:23]  It's funny.
[00:44:24]  This is the headline of the article.
[00:44:25]  Ex FBI agent turned podcaster intentionally, in quotes, and unsafely, in quotes, fired gun before he was ousted, memos.
[00:44:34]  Yeah, these aren't memos, by the way.
[00:44:36]  These are electronic communications and these are shooting incident review findings, allegedly.
[00:44:40]  I mean, that's what they claim that this thing is.
[00:44:42]  So that's not a memo.
[00:44:43]  Let me just get clear on this.
[00:44:44]  And by the way, like someone says, you know, Viva, you're biased.
[00:44:48]  I'm like, I'm not biased.
[00:44:49]  I've heard you tell this story before.
[00:44:50]  I know.
[00:44:51]  What you say was the incident.
[00:44:52]  And yeah, so does anyone else, by the way, when you read the story.
[00:44:55]  The story is like completely illogical.
[00:44:56]  I've shared this with a bunch of different firearms people.
[00:44:58]  They all think it's funny.
[00:44:59]  No, I mean, I've heard some people say, look, shooting at someone else's target on a firing range is not the best idea, but it's by no means dangerous and certainly not something that you'd get fired over or the result in criminal misconduct.
[00:45:11]  So I got a DM today from a retired cop, and he said that he used to work with a guy who was like basically functionally blind, and then he was killed in the line of duty.
[00:45:20]  And whenever he would shoot next to him, They had a 20 round qualification for their shooting qual in the state of Rhode Island.
[00:45:26]  And he would end up with 22 rounds on his target, and the guy next to him would end up with 18 because the guy would shoot his target.
[00:45:33]  It happens all the time.
[00:45:34]  It happens at Quantico, it happens on purpose and on accident.
[00:45:36]  Well, that's what I was going to say it can happen on accident if you, I don't know, you have to be a bad shot or pull a trigger or sneeze or something when you're shooting.
[00:45:43]  It can happen by accident.
[00:45:44]  You're shooting down a firing range.
[00:45:46]  The Berman is in the back.
[00:45:47]  You're not firing in any dangerous manner whatsoever.
[00:45:52]  Certainly not.
[00:45:53]  Firing down a what's declared to be a cold range with the instructor going to repair a target and you decide to fire diagonal across.
[00:46:01]  You say none of it happened.
[00:46:02]  Yeah, none of it happened.
[00:46:03]  I mean, I'll tell you what happened.
[00:46:04]  I shot a guy's target to my left.
[00:46:05]  It was four feet to the left of my target.
[00:46:07]  They were peeped, like we were shooting.
[00:46:09]  It wasn't my turn.
[00:46:10]  And I shot his target intentionally with a rifle from seven yards, which is basically like poking it.
[00:46:15]  So I shot exactly where I intended and I intended to shoot it.
[00:46:19]  Now, whether they like that or not, I don't really care.
[00:46:21]  Here's the best part you can read this, you can hear how bad of a and how big of a deal it was.
[00:46:25]  This is why it's funny.
[00:46:26]  To me.
[00:46:27]  So on 4 1, Blank was participating in quarterly firearms call.
[00:46:30]  That's false.
[00:46:31]  During one of the training events, he fired his weapon at the target.
[00:46:34]  Blank, I don't know, while firearms instructor was in front of the firing alarm.
[00:46:37]  That's false.
[00:46:37]  It's just false.
[00:46:38]  It didn't happen.
[00:46:39]  Fired his weapon intentionally in an unsafe manner.
[00:46:41]  Also not true.
[00:46:42]  All shooters and firearms instructor present were interviewed.
[00:46:44]  That's hilarious to me.
[00:46:46]  The fact that they got people to say it.
[00:46:47]  Here's the best part, though.
[00:46:48]  This wasn't investigated until two weeks after the thing happened.
[00:46:53]  It came because of an email from the SSRA who called a special agent into his office to address the matter.
[00:46:59]  The SSRA is my former boss.
[00:47:02]  Well, what does the SSRA stand for?
[00:47:03]  That's the senior special resident agents or the senior supervisory resident agents, the lead guy.
[00:47:11]  He's like the number one of equals in a small satellite office of the FBI.
[00:47:16]  The funny thing is, this is the same guy that had just told me that he was really glad that I got removed from his squad because I was being a pain in his ass because I wasn't going to take the COVID shots.
[00:47:25]  He thought that I was a problem for refusing to swab with the nasal tests.
[00:47:28]  So, this was a problem for him.
[00:47:30]  And he kicked me off his squad and sent me somewhere else.
[00:47:32]  And then he brought in this dude who, if I'm guessing right, I mean, I kind of know what the story would have been.
[00:47:37]  There was this guy that was on our squad that wore medical exam gloves and a duck build COVID mask and Home Depot knee pads while we were shooting on that day.
[00:47:50]  And we were outdoors in the desert, like 20 miles from anything.
[00:47:54]  And he was like donned up and secured, like in protective gear, because he was terrified of COVID, because he was a complete fucking idiot.
[00:48:00]  Well, that is actually something in someone I would be afraid to be near with a firearm.
[00:48:03]  Super, super incapable of anything.
[00:48:06]  He was like kind of autistic y, but kind of like the retard version, not the cool version.
[00:48:10]  And then on top of that, even more fun.
[00:48:12]  He was the agent that bragged during this time period about testifying against Coy Griffin, who was a J Sixer at Cowboys for Trump.
[00:48:19]  And he was the guy that was brought in from the Los Cruces Field or whatever it is, resident agency, the satellite office, to testify against Coy.
[00:48:28]  So this all actually, like, it's all kind of fun, little weird stuff.
[00:48:33]  Like, it was a tiny little office.
[00:48:34]  It's like, it's not very complex.
[00:48:36]  You're dismissed on April 22nd of.
[00:48:39]  No, I was dismissed on the 18th.

=== Body Cam Badge Removal (15:30) ===

[00:48:41]  The 18th of that year, correct?
[00:48:42]  So this.
[00:48:43]  Yeah, this is.
[00:48:45]  Shooting review, but before they even concluded it, because they didn't conclude this for 14 months, 15 months.
[00:48:51]  They opened it two weeks after the incident.
[00:48:54]  Is it on the day or roughly?
[00:48:56]  Same day that they took my badge and my gun.
[00:48:57]  I was already out the door.
[00:48:58]  Okay.
[00:48:58]  So they opened this.
[00:48:59]  Same day you're out.
[00:49:01]  There's no findings or anything.
[00:49:02]  And you say that there had been no findings for 14 months.
[00:49:06]  Bring us to the 14 months ahead when there's a finding.
[00:49:08]  What are the findings that happened for 14 months?
[00:49:09]  So bring it here.
[00:49:10]  I'll tell you, here's the observations.
[00:49:11]  That's what they have.
[00:49:11]  It's actually on the page.
[00:49:12]  Okay.
[00:49:13]  By June 22nd of 2023.
[00:49:17]  So literally a year and change later.
[00:49:20]  This is what they concluded.
[00:49:22]  They evaluated the application of deadly force.
[00:49:24]  The shooting incident was determined to be intentional and unsafe during a training exercise, and therefore, deadly force was not assessed.
[00:49:31]  Like I shot a freaking paper target.
[00:49:33]  So that's pretty funny.
[00:49:36]  Agent blank failed to adhere to the Cardinal safety rules, resulting in an avoidable, unsafe, intentional discharge in violation of the firearms policy guide.
[00:49:44]  And so then they list the firearms policy guide's safety rules, and they are treat all firearms as if they're loaded, keep your finger off the trigger unless you intend to press it, and the FBI uses don't point.
[00:49:53]  Your firearm at anyone unless you're justified.
[00:49:55]  So there's nothing in the firearms rules that says in shooting range, if you can't shoot, yeah.
[00:50:01]  Okay.
[00:50:01]  Okay.
[00:50:01]  So the inspection division assessed that Agent blank intentionally and unsafely discharged his weapon when another agent was in front of him on the firing line at the range.
[00:50:11]  Except that's not true.
[00:50:13]  It just didn't happen.
[00:50:14]  Well, yeah.
[00:50:14]  And the reason why you know that is because I'm not in prison right now for shooting at another agent.
[00:50:20]  Well, but I'm just not.
[00:50:21]  They didn't tackle me, they didn't take the gun.
[00:50:23]  I went home with my freaking guns that day.
[00:50:26]  I went home and I went back to work the next day.
[00:50:28]  Nobody said, holy crap, Seraphim can't be.
[00:50:30]  They didn't like in the call.
[00:50:31]  I was like, what do you think they did?
[00:50:33]  You think I shot while some other guy was downrange?
[00:50:35]  And they were like, that stinker, Kyle.
[00:50:37]  You want to know the crazy thing, David?
[00:50:38]  After this all went down, this is the best part.
[00:50:41]  I actually left that range pissed off because while we were there, after this little moment, by the way, this resulted in one of my guys who was my friend sitting next to me, he gave me a dirty look because I shot his target and I ruined his perfect group.
[00:50:52]  That's literally the outcome of this.
[00:50:54]  Then the guy running the range, Stopped and another guy stepped up and started working drills.
[00:51:00]  And the drill they did for anybody who's a firearms person, you'll understand how ridiculous it is.
[00:51:04]  They took their weapons, which they had not cleared, and they were doing room entries using cones to simulate like a doorway.
[00:51:13]  And they sent guys into the doorway, and one guy turned to the right, which was downrange, and the other guy turned to the left and pointed his freaking weapons at our trucks, which were all pointed there.
[00:51:23]  And I was like, yo, can I get a ceasefire?
[00:51:24]  Because I'm out of here.
[00:51:25]  And I left.
[00:51:26]  I was like, this is unsafe.
[00:51:27]  This is stupidly dangerous.
[00:51:29]  None of you guys should be doing this.
[00:51:30]  This is not a tactics instruction.
[00:51:32]  I'm out.
[00:51:32]  And I literally left the range at that.
[00:51:34]  And after this, that's when they decided they were going to come at me, which is even funnier.
[00:51:37]  Now, just read the finding again.
[00:51:39]  Okay, hold on.
[00:51:40]  Let me tell you what they decided they were going to do.
[00:51:42]  There's punishment in here.
[00:51:43]  You'll like this.
[00:51:45]  They assessed that I intentionally and unsafely discharged my weapon when another agent was in front of me.
[00:51:49]  Okay, instruction number one The special agent in charge of the Albuquerque field office will ensure that Agent blank receives remedial training, including a specific to safe handling of weapons.
[00:52:00]  But you've been out of the FBI for a year now.
[00:52:02]  Over a year when they decided to do that, yes.
[00:52:05]  Are you sure they're not just talking about somebody else in this document?
[00:52:08]  Dude, they could be.
[00:52:08]  I don't know, but this is what Justin News wrote about.
[00:52:10]  This is the basis.
[00:52:12]  Just go back to the.
[00:52:13]  This is it.
[00:52:13]  This is the entirety of it.
[00:52:15]  No, scroll up, scroll up.
[00:52:16]  Intentionally fired with someone in front of him.
[00:52:18]  Read it again.
[00:52:18]  And I want to then go back to something else.
[00:52:20]  Yeah, inspection.
[00:52:20]  This is INSD.
[00:52:22]  So, inspection division assessed agent blank intentionally and unsafely discharged his weapon when another agent was in front of him on the firing line at the range.
[00:52:29]  Now, go back up to the top where it said that there was no risk of.
[00:52:35]  The shooting incident reviewed it.
[00:52:36]  There were no injuries as a result of the discharge.
[00:52:39]  Okay, so it said that there were no injuries as a result.
[00:52:42]  Did it say that there was no risk to others?
[00:52:44]  I thought it said intentionally discharged in an unsafe manner.
[00:52:48]  Yep, that's it.
[00:52:49]  While participating in quarterly firearms qualifications.
[00:52:52]  Okay, so no one was injured.
[00:52:54]  It didn't say that no one was placed at risk.
[00:52:56]  Okay, I thought.
[00:52:57]  Now, here's the other part of it.
[00:52:58]  There you go.
[00:53:00]  Because someone's going to say, someone who doesn't want to believe you or someone who doesn't believe you is just going to say, Oh, I don't really care.
[00:53:04]  That's the funniest thing.
[00:53:05]  Like, this is the best that they have.
[00:53:07]  Four years later, this is Chris Ray's FBI.
[00:53:10]  This is Chris Ray's executives.
[00:53:12]  This is Chris Ray's people who they promoted, including the special agent in charge.
[00:53:17]  And this is after I've already done two things.
[00:53:19]  I've already gone to Congress and pointed out that they were improperly investigating parents at school board meetings by this point, which I did in October the year before.
[00:53:28]  And I also told them in November that I would not take the COVID shot under any circumstances, nor would I test for COVID if I didn't show symptoms.
[00:53:36]  And they kicked me out of the office.
[00:53:37]  So I was on unpaid leave from November 23rd.
[00:53:41]  All the way up until March 4th, when I came back and did my first shooting.
[00:53:44]  This is my first qualification.
[00:53:45]  So I come back and I call on March 4th.
[00:53:47]  And then a month later, after I'm already on the shit list and I'm already like waiting for them to fire me, which is what I was waiting for, I'm sitting on a squad by that point in time.
[00:53:55]  On March 4th, they kicked me off my squad.
[00:53:57]  So on March 7th, when I showed up, they literally put me at a desk in the corner by myself and I was assigned no work for a full month.
[00:54:05]  So I sat at this desk for a month and then I had an opportunity to go shoot like some, you know, some rifle qualls in the desert or some rifle shooting.
[00:54:11]  So, I'm like, oh, I'll go shoot rifles today.
[00:54:13]  Like, I'm not doing shit.
[00:54:14]  I'm literally sitting here looking at a whiteboard, wondering, like, what to do next next to the copy machine and, like, waving at the intel people as they come and they make photocopies and, you know, watch CNN.
[00:54:24]  So, like, that's what I did for a full month.
[00:54:25]  And so I knew they were already coming at me.
[00:54:27]  Like, you know, the fact that they decided to do this is super funny four years later.
[00:54:31]  This document is redacted when it comes to just the news or Solomon.
[00:54:35]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:54:35]  I guess it was.
[00:54:36]  Yes, sir.
[00:54:37]  I'm still alive.
[00:54:42]  Dangers of broadcasting from home.
[00:54:44]  It's redacted by the time it gets to Solomon and the other guy at Justice.
[00:54:49]  So they've never seen an unredacted version.
[00:54:51]  But apparently not.
[00:54:52]  But they're somehow able to like line up all the people that hated me at the office to get statements from them, which means cash helped them.
[00:54:58]  But my question is they are identifying you based on this document.
[00:55:02]  Why on earth did they not at least unredact your name so that we could definitively know that you are the one named in this document?
[00:55:09]  Because they can't, because the FBI gave it to them this way.
[00:55:11]  There's no way to do that.
[00:55:12]  Unless the FBI.
[00:55:12]  How do they know it's you?
[00:55:14]  They just decided it was out of the 15 different shooting incidents.
[00:55:16]  This is the only one that matched the fact pattern.
[00:55:18]  And to be fair, this is pretty close to the fact pattern, except that it's still wrong.
[00:55:22]  And here's how you know it's wrong they cited congressional testimony from an FBI executive in the piece.
[00:55:27]  And that's the funniest part of it.
[00:55:28]  Because the story that was testified to Congress, the thing that we were pointed to, which he says in the call, is Jennifer Moore saying a different version of this.
[00:55:37]  What they said there is that I fired one round in an unsafe manner from my carbine, which is a rifle.
[00:55:42]  It's like an AR 15.
[00:55:43]  What Jennifer Moore said is we were shooting.
[00:55:46]  They told us to make safe, which means that we drop the magazine, we pull back the chamber, we look at an empty chamber, we show it to a firearms instructor or a range master.
[00:55:55]  Then we drop the slide on an empty slide and we holster up.
[00:55:59]  And that's what she said happened.
[00:56:01]  And then someone said, going down range, went down range.
[00:56:03]  And at that point, per Jennifer Moore in sworn testimony, may or may not have been drinking, I apparently then drew my weapon, loaded a new magazine, racked the slide, and fired around and then laughed about it.
[00:56:15]  So that's the story that was told to Congress under oath.
[00:56:18]  That is not the story that showed up in the report a year later.
[00:56:21]  And neither of them are true.
[00:56:23]  They're just not because I'd be in handcuffs.
[00:56:25]  Well, and I don't have it.
[00:56:27]  Some people say maybe you wouldn't be in handcuffs, but I've been to a few firing ranges.
[00:56:34]  If it had happened that someone fired downrange after it was declared cold and there was an individual on the range, I mean, you may or may not have gotten arrested.
[00:56:43]  People there would have flipped a conniption fit where it would have been a violation of the fundamental rule of a firing range that would have resulted in maybe not arrest, but an incident that would have been documented.
[00:56:57]  If that happened in real life, I'm not walking out of there with my firearms intact on my person with a federal agent badge and credentials.
[00:57:03]  There's no way.
[00:57:04]  They're not letting someone who does, who intentionally fires around at somebody else downrange.
[00:57:09]  That's insane.
[00:57:10]  It just doesn't happen.
[00:57:11]  Like at the very minimum, they would have put me on an investigative, you know, they would have put me on an investigative suspension and they would have investigated.
[00:57:17]  Nobody was called out to the range.
[00:57:19]  Nobody collected the brass.
[00:57:21]  Nobody gave a shit until four days later when they decided to try to jam me up.
[00:57:24]  Yeah.
[00:57:24]  And let me just breathe.
[00:57:25]  And by the way, during this time, the supervisor who, the SSRA that was mentioned in this document, he was under investigation already because I called the inspection division and said, hey, my boss pulled some body cam footage of me.
[00:57:37]  Where I didn't do anything wrong, and he's showing it around the office, and he has no investigative purpose.
[00:57:42]  This was like a goofy thing where he walked around.
[00:57:45]  I have him in writing in a sign sworn statement said he thought I was acting like an asshole.
[00:57:50]  His words.
[00:57:51]  That's what he actually said under oath.
[00:57:53]  And so he was showing people body cam footage of me talking to a cop.
[00:57:56]  And at the end of it, the top's like, hey, brother, okay, yeah.
[00:57:58]  And I'm like, yeah, we're on the same team.
[00:57:59]  And he was like, hey, can you wait till I drive out of here?
[00:58:01]  I go, yeah, no problem.
[00:58:02]  And he drives off.
[00:58:03]  And he goes, 10 8, no report.
[00:58:05]  It's just, it's the all this is the dumbest thing.
[00:58:08]  As Jess, who does 3D custom parts, said, He's like, if this is the best they've got, this is the dumbest thing that I've ever seen.
[00:58:16]  I sent it to several FBI agents who knew me, who worked in the office with me, and they all laughed.
[00:58:20]  Scroll back up to the top.
[00:58:21]  And just to highlight again, this investigation was opened the day that you were put on administrative leave.
[00:58:26]  Yeah.
[00:58:26]  Well, you got to go to this other document here.
[00:58:28]  So I've got this one too.
[00:58:29]  This is the document that shows that.
[00:58:31]  So this is the executive summary.
[00:58:33]  And so here's what it says.
[00:58:35]  It's a really bad type.
[00:58:36]  So on four, oh, why is that not coming up?
[00:58:38]  Do I have to present it?
[00:58:39]  Yeah.
[00:58:40]  Let me kick this one from the thing.
[00:58:41]  Okay.
[00:58:41]  Now share screen with.
[00:58:43]  Oh, you might have to get out of your.
[00:58:45]  I just share it again, don't I?
[00:58:45]  Okay.
[00:58:46]  No, you got it.
[00:58:46]  Oh, no.
[00:58:48]  Remove.
[00:58:49]  I'll do it.
[00:58:49]  Add.
[00:58:50]  Yeah, you got to kick yours.
[00:58:51]  Okay, I kicked it, and then I have to.
[00:58:53]  Now bring another one back up.
[00:58:54]  This is this.
[00:58:55]  Because, I mean, the timing is not something that can be ignored, they basically eat you.
[00:58:59]  Yeah, yeah.
[00:58:59]  No, you can't.
[00:59:00]  Okay, so here you go.
[00:59:01]  So here it is, and then we can present it.
[00:59:03]  You present it.
[00:59:04]  All right, so at approximately 9 15 a.m., SA Special Agent blank discharged a rifle and one rifle, unsafe manner, cult pattern, participating in quarterly firearms.
[00:59:13]  We've already disputed this.
[00:59:15]  This was delegated to the Shooting Incident Review on 4 18, 2022.
[00:59:19]  That was my last day in the office.
[00:59:22]  That's when they decided to investigate it.
[00:59:23]  Yeah.
[00:59:23]  Okay.
[00:59:24]  That's what's, I mean, timing wise, can't be a coincidence.
[00:59:28]  And look at this inspection was not notified.
[00:59:29]  Put it back up for a second.
[00:59:30]  Yeah, hold on a second.
[00:59:31]  I can't.
[00:59:31]  There's something here.
[00:59:32]  No, add to stage.
[00:59:33]  Okay, here we go.
[00:59:33]  Can you see this where I'm highlighting it?
[00:59:35]  Inspection was not notified of the intentional discharge until 418, 2022.
[00:59:39]  That was the last day that I was.
[00:59:40]  That's when they already took my badge on my gun by then.
[00:59:42]  No, but and also what reeks of evidence related to the intentional discharge was not collected.
[00:59:48]  The weapon was collected and found to be serviceable and functioned in normal operating order.
[00:59:52]  There were no anomalies or unauthorized modifications.
[00:59:56]  In your stream, you talked about it like it was a stupid bad game of broken telephone where Kyle shot the target next to his target.
[01:00:03]  Oh, Kyle shot diagonal.
[01:00:05]  Oh, Kyle put people at risk.
[01:00:07]  The question is I want to say it's a manufacturer out of whole cloth type situation.
[01:00:13]  This is how not a big deal it is.
[01:00:14]  Look, I mean, this is the executive summary.
[01:00:16]  So put that back up for one second.
[01:00:17]  The bottom line, which we're blocking it.
[01:00:19]  I don't know if you can show it, but here.
[01:00:20]  Let me see if I can check what I can do now.
[01:00:22]  We can move this.
[01:00:23]  Oh, very cool.
[01:00:23]  Okay, so look at this.
[01:00:24]  Inspection division assessed that SA.
[01:00:26]  You know, blank.
[01:00:27]  Apparently, Seraphim fired intentionally in an unsafe manner.
[01:00:29]  That's what it is.
[01:00:30]  So, what's the result?
[01:00:31]  Instruction The Albuquerque special agent in charge will ensure that Seraphim receives remedial training consistent with the firearms policy guide.
[01:00:38]  When was this drafted, though?
[01:00:40]  When was this document drafted?
[01:00:42]  This document is about an intentional discharge, but this is the last document.
[01:00:47]  So, this would have been the executive summary after they already came to the end of it.
[01:00:50]  Yeah, this is 14 months later.
[01:00:52]  Yeah, that's what they came up with.
[01:00:54]  In which they're saying, we opened the investigation the day he was dismissed.
[01:00:59]  And afterwards, for convenient timing.
[01:01:01]  It occurred two weeks earlier.
[01:01:02]  There was no incident report prepared the day of, and nothing was done the day of.
[01:01:06]  We just do it two weeks later after he's been.
[01:01:09]  Do you know, like hour wise, if this memo was prepared after you're already out?
[01:01:15]  Oh, I don't know.
[01:01:16]  But so I went into the office.
[01:01:17]  This is funny.
[01:01:18]  On the 18th, this is actually worth knowing.
[01:01:19]  On the 18th of April, my last day in the FBI, I drove into the office.
[01:01:25]  And as I was driving in, I got a phone call from the equal opportunity employment investigator from FBI headquarters who was investigating, I think at that point, 12 or 13 different individually itemized retaliation claims that I had about what they'd done with me.
[01:01:40]  And there were a bunch of them.
[01:01:40]  It was like including things like putting me in a corner by myself, literally putting me in the corner.
[01:01:44]  I kid you not.
[01:01:46]  All the dumb things that were going on.
[01:01:47]  And so she's doing an interview.
[01:01:48]  And we did a science warrant statement interview, which took well over two hours for me to tell my story.
[01:01:52]  It resulted in like a 22 page document that she types up.
[01:01:55]  So all of that happens.
[01:01:57]  And so that's probably like first thing in the morning on the 18th that goes from like, I don't know, 0800 until 10 o'clock.
[01:02:02]  Then I drove into the office.
[01:02:04]  And the boss that's mentioned there, that SSRA, he and I had a mutual friend, and our mutual friend's wife had just committed suicide just before Easter.
[01:02:13]  And he didn't know.
[01:02:15]  My former boss didn't know.
[01:02:16]  And so I went and I got my new boss, and I'm like, hey, would you come with me?
[01:02:19]  I'm going to go knock on Rick's door and I'm going to talk to him.
[01:02:21]  And I want to let him know because I don't want him to step on an emotional landmine.
[01:02:24]  The guy that was our friend was our firearms dealer.
[01:02:26]  He was a guy that ran a home FFL, and I was a big buyer, and so was my boss.
[01:02:30]  So my boss actually introduced me to the guy, and I became close with him because I bought firearms.
[01:02:34]  Had guns show up like every two weeks.
[01:02:36]  So I go into the guy's office and I go, Hey, look, I know there's some personal garbage between us, whatever it is, but this is way more important.
[01:02:41]  And I want to let you know, you know, Elaine's not with us and this is what happened and this is the story.
[01:02:44]  And I don't want you to go in there and fall on an emotional landmine and wreck our friend.
[01:02:48]  You know, I spent nights with him already and we spent a bunch of time with him and he's wrecked and you should probably give him a call.
[01:02:54]  And he's like, I'm really glad you did that.
[01:02:55]  And while I'm sitting in that office and it's probably like 11 o'clock in the morning, then the special agent in charge, Raul Buhanda, who's mentioned there, and the ASAC, who ended up taking my badge and my gun, they showed up.
[01:03:06]  Unannounced.
[01:03:06]  They'd been driving for three hours from Albuquerque to sneak up on me.
[01:03:10]  So I have two hours of like telling my story to an EEO investigator at headquarters who are investigating the FBI for malfeasance.
[01:03:17]  Then I tell my boss that we have a mutual friend who lost a wife.
[01:03:20]  And then they go in there and they put me in the conference room and they took my badge and my gun, not for this, but because I was quote unquote unprofessional with a police officer on body cam, which wasn't being investigated by the FBI at that moment.
[01:03:33]  They had literally opened an investigation on Good Friday, which was, I think, the 15th, like April 15th.
[01:03:39]  And then we had Holy Saturday, the 16th.
[01:03:42]  Easter Sunday was the 17th of 2022.
[01:03:45]  And then on the 18th, while I'm in there in the morning, they'd already determined that I needed to lose my security clearance and I was going to be walked out of the building for freaking ever in like.
[01:03:54]  Over Easter weekend, which I told it to a judge in federal court about two weeks ago.
[01:03:58]  I had to tell my story.
[01:04:00]  And the judge is like, oh, because once you hear the story that they did an investigation for one day and determined that I was gone forever, we already know what they were doing.
[01:04:09]  Like it was really obvious up front.

=== Mike Davis Investigation Details (15:11) ===

[01:04:11]  And in fact, if you're interested, because I think your audience will get bored of the kind of stupidity of this, the body cam footage is actually really funny.
[01:04:18]  And I played it this morning on my podcast, but you can find it on Rumble and it's quite good.
[01:04:23]  Where can I find it?
[01:04:24]  So it's called.
[01:04:25]  Go to Rumble and search for Sonoma, S O N O M A, Ranch, new word, R A N C H, Sonoma Ranch.
[01:04:33]  It should be the only one that pops up with my name.
[01:04:35]  And it's literally.
[01:04:37]  Bodycam Feb9.
[01:04:38]  That's it.
[01:04:38]  This is.
[01:04:39]  Okay, so February 9th bodycam was literally the reason why I was actually suspended.
[01:04:43]  And Just the News is trying to act like something else is going on.
[01:04:45]  And I think it's kind of.
[01:04:47]  We're going to play that.
[01:04:48]  We're going to play that during the after show party because we've got to finish the article first.
[01:04:52]  Okay, yeah.
[01:04:52]  The article's funny because it contradicts itself, obviously.
[01:04:55]  Well, let me just highlight another interesting admission.
[01:04:58]  The guy you're talking to, I keep forgetting his name, doesn't matter.
[01:05:00]  Seems like a nice guy.
[01:05:01]  Like, he seems like he's begrudgingly being compelled to do this.
[01:05:05]  Oh, yeah, Steven.
[01:05:06]  I don't have any animus towards Steven other than he's like a lackey for John Solomon, and John Solomon's a punk.
[01:05:11]  I mean, John Solomon is like a.
[01:05:12]  Yeah, John is.
[01:05:13]  Listen to what he says here.
[01:05:15]  I felt bad.
[01:05:15]  This is Kyle.
[01:05:16]  Hey, this has been from Eastern News.
[01:05:19]  Hey, Steven.
[01:05:20]  Hey.
[01:05:21]  Sounds defeated already.
[01:05:22]  Yeah, he was.
[01:05:22]  All right, what can I do for you?
[01:05:25]  Yeah, so you obviously got my message there.
[01:05:31]  And would it be fair to say that John is your editor, or is there somebody else?
[01:05:34]  Yeah, John is my editor.
[01:05:37]  Okay.
[01:05:37]  So, John trying to do like kind of a propaganda piece on behalf of Kash Patel because I'm, you know, pointing out all the inadequacies that the guy does as a director should be kind of embarrassing.
[01:05:46]  It's going to be a little bit silly, but you guys cover whatever you got to cover.
[01:05:50]  This is not fruitful ground for whatever kind of hit piece Cash is hoping for.
[01:05:55]  Yeah.
[01:05:56]  Just so you and I know what we're both doing here, just so we're both on the same page, when I see that, I know exactly what you're writing.
[01:06:01]  Yeah.
[01:06:02]  I'm aware loosely of the background again.
[01:06:05]  I'm.
[01:06:06]  A reporter that is sometimes told what to write about.
[01:06:10]  Take that as you will.
[01:06:12]  I mean, that's as clear an admission of what he's being compelled to do as you can possibly get.
[01:06:17]  I mean, that's, and again, I probably would have interrupted them and, like, okay, so you're being told to do, who's telling you to do this?
[01:06:23]  It's going to be John Solomon.
[01:06:24]  Who's telling him to do this and why?
[01:06:26]  And so the piece, the article itself goes, it's a lengthy, like, you know, baffle them with bullshit article, which I'm not going to bring the entire thing up, but it just goes on forever.
[01:06:35]  And the crux of the, Hit piece is that you allegedly, based on this story, which is total bunk, I believe it to be bunk because it just doesn't.
[01:06:44]  Yeah, because I'm not in jail.
[01:06:45]  I mean, that shot downrange after they declared a cold range, which means you're not, the guns are not just down, they're ammo free.
[01:06:54]  Like there's nothing in them.
[01:06:55]  They're clear.
[01:06:56]  So cold.
[01:06:57]  And you fired downrange with an instructor there.
[01:07:00]  I don't know.
[01:07:01]  And here's the thing that's not even, that's literally not even the claim that's made in the shooting inspection division report.
[01:07:06]  They don't even make the claim that John Solomon does.
[01:07:08]  He's actually, he's basing it off Jennifer Moore's testimony.
[01:07:11]  Which is debunked because we were using rifles.
[01:07:13]  If you believe that that shooting incident review is what they're talking about, there's no holster system for a rifle.
[01:07:17]  Although someone did show me one on X earlier today, and now I kind of want to see if I can find a holster for a rifle because that sounds kind of cool.
[01:07:24]  During testimony before the House Judiciary Committee more than two years ago, two years ago, and they're being told to put this piece up today.
[01:07:31]  So that also raises some red flags.
[01:07:33]  Former FBI Executive Assistant Director of Human Resources, Jennifer Lee Moore, told lawmakers that Seraphim's security clearance suspension stemmed from violations of the safe weapons handling policy, threatening behavior, and unauthorized release of sensitive information.
[01:07:46]  That's called whistleblowing.
[01:07:48]  This is what people don't understand how they blend in the lie with truth.
[01:07:53]  They throw in three things.
[01:07:54]  It was one of three things.
[01:07:55]  It was either one that didn't happen, two that didn't happen, or three that did happen.
[01:07:59]  And therefore, although they use an and conjunction, not an or.
[01:08:02]  Yeah, it should be an or.
[01:08:03]  It should be an or.
[01:08:04]  So here's a great example of it.
[01:08:05]  In one of the documents that I got, the claim the FBI made that said that I was acting inappropriate while I was on duty is that there were allegations that I had used racist, sexist, and or homophobic language in the office.
[01:08:19]  And I have no idea what that would be because I was pretty cautious about what I said there because I work for the FBI and everyone there is a bunch of pussies and they're all like thin skinned and scared.
[01:08:27]  And I'm saying that now because I can speak freely because I don't work for those clowns.
[01:08:30]  But I worked with like enormously fat women named Candy who would be like 400 pounds and eating gross amounts of food.
[01:08:37]  And then they're like, they walk up to you and they look at you angrily because you just got off the treadmill because there was a freaking office gym.
[01:08:43]  And our job included fitness because theoretically we might have to fight somebody.
[01:08:47]  I worked on an Indian reservation 100 miles away from any office.
[01:08:50]  So it was like, I was always surrounded.
[01:08:52]  I was surrounded by people who were mad that Kyle Rittenhouse was acquitted in my office.
[01:08:57]  The problem is people are going to look at your Twitter feed today and say, Yeah, I'm an asshole now.
[01:09:01]  There's no question.
[01:09:01]  I'm sick of these people.
[01:09:02]  I think they're all clowns.
[01:09:04]  And I have no interest in self centering because I work for me.
[01:09:06]  Like, who's going to fire me now, David?
[01:09:08]  No one.
[01:09:08]  Nobody.
[01:09:09]  Nobody.
[01:09:09]  Exactly.
[01:09:10]  So like, but how many people actually think those things in their job?
[01:09:13]  Like somebody walks by and you're like, that guy's an asshole.
[01:09:15]  You're like, that guy's a complete coward.
[01:09:17]  And you would never say it because you're afraid of losing your job.
[01:09:20]  I was polite like anybody else is polite at a job, but I was still a guy who was a former enlisted Air Force medic who's had people die in my hands.
[01:09:28]  Okay.
[01:09:28]  I've worked in law enforcement.
[01:09:30]  So everything about that involves like a little bit more thicker skin.
[01:09:33]  I mean, I have nasty people.
[01:09:34]  I've gotten in fights with homeless people while I was on surveillance to pretend to be a homeless guy arguing about whether there were caves underneath the street we were on because that's a thing you might have to do.
[01:09:44]  So I lived, you know, I lived a life that is not about gentleness and I don't care about being nice and I'm not inappropriate.
[01:09:50]  When I don't need to be, but I'm on X. X is like a shit posting website.
[01:09:54]  So, yeah, I'm not nice there at all.
[01:09:55]  I have no interest in being nice to like boomer retards who send all this stuff out there.
[01:09:59]  I read your post, and even in the post you did, the responses to it were like, blah, And I'm like, you're wrong.
[01:10:05]  And they're like, well, I'm sorry.
[01:10:06]  I didn't read it right.
[01:10:07]  I didn't.
[01:10:08]  Beaver should be more clear.
[01:10:09]  No, idiot.
[01:10:09]  I couldn't have been more clear.
[01:10:11]  Yeah, exactly.
[01:10:12]  Let me read Moore's testimony.
[01:10:14]  In his specific case, the mishandling of the weapon was what they were at the fire range.
[01:10:18]  Firearms instructor had called for the line to be holstered and safe, Moore said, describing the incident as central to the Suspension.
[01:10:25]  So central, you were already suspended before they did the investigation.
[01:10:28]  That's right.
[01:10:28]  Yeah, no, it was totally unrelated to the suspension.
[01:10:30]  Everybody's holsters safe.
[01:10:31]  The fire instructor then announces that he is moving forward to fix a broken target.
[01:10:36]  As he moved forward, Kyle Seraphim pulled his gun, shot across the range diagonal in front, in front of the firearms instructor as he moved to fix the target, and shot the target he was going to fix.
[01:10:47]  Right.
[01:10:49]  That's the, like, I want anybody.
[01:10:52]  She was, where was she?
[01:10:53]  I say positionally and physically at the time you were at the range that day.
[01:10:58]  Oh, she was in Washington, D.C.
[01:11:01]  Okay.
[01:11:02]  She was a senior.
[01:11:03]  She was like the number four person in the FBI.
[01:11:05]  It went like this Chris Ray, Paula Bate, whoever the ADD was, and then her.
[01:11:12]  She was the number four position in the FBI at the Hoover building on the day this happened.
[01:11:17]  And I was in the middle of the desert, like 25 miles from anything in New Mexico on White Sands Missile Range.
[01:11:23]  Like, it's the dumbest thing.
[01:11:25]  She has no idea what happened because she wasn't there.
[01:11:27]  Neither was anybody else.
[01:11:28]  There was not a single supervisor there.
[01:11:31]  There wasn't a single person other than a GS 13.
[01:11:33]  We were all GS 13 FBI frontline agents.
[01:11:36]  And we weren't even running drills with an FBI instructor running it.
[01:11:40]  It was a freaking HSI guy, which is another federal agency.
[01:11:43]  And I hit what I aimed at, I hit the target.
[01:11:46]  Did you speak to Solomon in the context of this article?
[01:11:49]  No, I have not spoken to him in the context of this.
[01:11:51]  I only spoke to that Steven Gardner guy.
[01:11:52]  He was the one who was running point.
[01:11:54]  Steven, I mean, for whatever reason, John Solomon put his name on it.
[01:11:56]  But no, no, it's they certainly sent a guy who really, you can listen to him, seems like he didn't want to be doing what he was doing.
[01:12:04]  Oh, I felt bad.
[01:12:04]  Why do you think that they're doing this now, timing wise?
[01:12:08]  I think Cash is under fire and I think he looks stupid.
[01:12:11]  And for some reason, like this, look, this all got launched in October and I think they're sticking to their guns.
[01:12:15]  They probably would have let it go if we're being.
[01:12:16]  Fair about it, but I called them out on my show about two weeks ago and I did a whole anatomy of what this hit piece was going to look like because I got bored of waiting for them to drop it.
[01:12:24]  So I just thought it was funny.
[01:12:26]  I just thought it was funny that they were like holding it over the head and that they hadn't followed up on it because I kept waiting for them to do it.
[01:12:32]  I'm like, when are you going to do this stupid piece?
[01:12:34]  I knew about it in January, you know, like, and so like I post a little bit and then I was like, you know what?
[01:12:39]  I'm sick of holding on to this tape.
[01:12:40]  I'm going to put it together.
[01:12:41]  I'm going to play it for Steve Friend and we're going to laugh on a Friday because it's funny.
[01:12:44]  It's funny when you realize how fake these people are and how driven by like a desired outcome.
[01:12:52]  This all started because I was pointing out that the inadequacies of the FBI director regarding the pipe bomb.
[01:12:57]  By the way, October was just after what?
[01:13:01]  September?
[01:13:02]  What happened in September?
[01:13:03]  Charlie Kirk was killed, and Kash Patel was in a bad spot where he realized that his pilot was one of the lead guys on Arctic Frost andor the Mar a Lago squad.
[01:13:14]  So we pointed out that Kash Patel didn't even know who was flying the plane that he was in.
[01:13:17]  And when that happened, like he was seriously butthurt.
[01:13:20]  Then Charlie Kirk gets killed.
[01:13:21]  Then he goes out and he says, We got the guy.
[01:13:23]  Oops, we got the wrong guy.
[01:13:24]  So I'm pointing out that he's inadequate in that.
[01:13:26]  I had friends that were working out of the Utah field office and people that were involved in that investigation.
[01:13:31]  And they're like, Hey, this dude is literally scream crying while trying to figure out what he's going to tweet because he's afraid of losing his job.
[01:13:38]  And so during that backdrop, that's when Cash reaches out to his buddy John.
[01:13:42]  I'm supposing here, this is my analysis.
[01:13:45]  And I assume that's when they asked him to do it because that's when this came up.
[01:13:48]  And so it's like, I'm just hurting your feelings because your buddy is a clown.
[01:13:52]  And he has no business doing this job.
[01:13:53]  And that was before the alcohol story from the Atlantic and the story about the bottle where you're not allowed to put your freaking name and the FBI seal on a bottle.
[01:14:03]  We'll talk about that on the other side here.
[01:14:05]  I want to bring up where I brought up the article and someone said, and it was, who said this is aging badly and it hasn't even been a day?
[01:14:16]  I mean, what's the, it was Phil Kennedy who said to God that, you know, this article is aging poorly and it hasn't even been a day.
[01:14:23]  Look, who's into it?
[01:14:24]  Julie Kelly's really into it.
[01:14:25]  She's super excited.
[01:14:26]  Mike Davis is really like scumbags are into it.
[01:14:29]  Well, that's I noticed Julie Kelly, and I was going to get involved, but I like again, there's some fights that they're they're they don't go anywhere.
[01:14:35]  But Julie Kelly is reposting Mike Davis, reposting the article, yes.
[01:14:40]  And I don't, and this is the disinformation laundering.
[01:14:43]  People are not even going to read the article, they're going to read the headline.
[01:14:46]  Then someone reacts to the headline, Mike Davis, who has a good track record of uh posting and reposting this type of crap.
[01:14:53]  And then Julie Kelly reposts Mike Davis, and now people are going to think.
[01:14:56]  Oh, you weren't actually fired for whistleblowing, even though if you read the article, it was item three of the three they listed.
[01:15:03]  You were fired for a dangerous discharge of a firearm based on a complaint that was initiated after you were already out that took 14 months to produce results.
[01:15:13]  The conclusions of which were retraining as though you're still employed, and they're not going to know jack shit.
[01:15:19]  And they're just going to go off tweets and retweets on this fucking platform that is good for spreading information and good for spreading propaganda.
[01:15:26]  It is.
[01:15:26]  Yeah.
[01:15:27]  Here's the thing I knew about this thing for a long time.
[01:15:29]  Guys like, I won't say names because I don't want to throw people on the bus, but there's people who are political operatives.
[01:15:34]  That were telling me they were hearing this, people that run in the sort of DOJ, FBI intel circle.
[01:15:38]  So, the people that report on that and the people that influence policy from behind the scenes, people that have, you know, like nonprofits and so on, kind of like the good versions of Mike Davis.
[01:15:47]  There's other guys out there doing that kind of work and are kind of influence types.
[01:15:51]  You know, they were telling me, like, hey, I heard you shot a guy.
[01:15:54]  I heard about that in like June last year.
[01:15:55]  I was like, what?
[01:15:57]  I'm like, I shot a guy.
[01:15:58]  I kind of want to know this story.
[01:15:59]  It sounds kind of funny.
[01:16:01]  Here's the thing I haven't lost any of my gun rights.
[01:16:03]  I just bought a suppressor a couple of days ago.
[01:16:05]  I just went out and built like this crazy submachine gun thing.
[01:16:07]  I showed you a video of me shooting a brand new 22 pistol at the range.
[01:16:10]  Guys, I shoot Iron Sights revolvers at 100 yards, you know, on 12 by 12 steel.
[01:16:16]  I don't miss at seven yards with a carbine.
[01:16:19]  You know, I can do that all day.
[01:16:20]  And the only reason why I shot that guy's target is because he was going too slow.
[01:16:23]  We were supposed to be ripping out splits like under a quarter of a second, which is kind of where you end up when you start working the trigger fast.
[01:16:29]  I know how long it takes me to shoot follow up rounds with a carbine.
[01:16:32]  I can do it between 0.16 and 0.2 seconds if I'm moving quickly.
[01:16:36]  He was doing it like 0.7.
[01:16:39]  Like he was taking almost a second because he was lining up trying to get the same little grape size group.
[01:16:44]  And so on the third time, he was like, bang, bang.
[01:16:47]  And I'm like, dude, bang.
[01:16:48]  And I shot with him and I shot his target.
[01:16:51]  And like there was one round missing.
[01:16:52]  This is a classic like professionals screwing with another professional who's trying to make a perfect target.
[01:16:58]  I had someone do that.
[01:16:59]  I had an instructor do that while I was at Quantico to one of my classmates who was one of the few female agents who was epically capable with a high end gun.
[01:17:07]  She was scary accurate.
[01:17:08]  She would shoot a group like this.
[01:17:09]  That you wouldn't even be able to tell how many rounds they just all be in the middle.
[01:17:13]  She was stupid, good.
[01:17:14]  And so the instructors would stand next to her on the firing line.
[01:17:16]  And when the string of fire would come up and the targets would face, because they would go and they would turn towards you, one of the instructors would draw a weapon.
[01:17:23]  And while everyone was firing, they would shoot one round out.
[01:17:26]  So her group wasn't perfect just to screw with her.
[01:17:29]  Like it's a thing amongst professionals to be able to do that.
[01:17:31]  So when I told them, like I was dicking around on the range, I said I was dicking around with one of my friends.
[01:17:36]  I was literally just messing with him.
[01:17:37]  But they took that out of context too, which is also great.
[01:17:39]  No, and that's amazing.
[01:17:40]  And then someone says, well, he admitted.
[01:17:41]  To dicking around.
[01:17:42]  I did.
[01:17:43]  Yeah, I did.
[01:17:43]  I'll dick around on the range.
[01:17:44]  I was dicking around yesterday and I shot a freaking.
[01:17:46]  I shot a.22 revolver that I'd never shot before.
[01:17:49]  And the second round hits a 12 by 12 steel at 100 yards.
[01:17:51]  Dicking around.
[01:17:53]  Oh, man.
[01:17:54]  Okay, hold on.
[01:17:54]  We're going to do one thing here.
[01:17:55]  I just want to bring up King of Biltongs in the house who brought up a rumble rant.
[01:17:59]  It says, Turn up the flavor with Perry Perry Biltong, mild heat, big flavor, 50% protein to keep you going.
[01:18:05]  Try the full Perry Perry range at BiltongUSA.com.
[01:18:09]  Code VIVA for 10% off.
[01:18:11]  Kyle, I think I got some questions.
[01:18:13]  I hate the fact that it goes back to that as the default.
[01:18:15]  Yeah.
[01:18:16]  Maybe there's a way to get it.
[01:18:17]  So, anyways, over in our locals, I want to bring this up and see.
[01:18:21]  You have a few more minutes?
[01:18:22]  Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[01:18:23]  I want to pick your brains on the whiskey bottle.
[01:18:26]  But I want to get the tipped questions while we're live here.
[01:18:30]  Yep.
[01:18:30]  Is this one going to be it here?
[01:18:32]  All right.
[01:18:32]  Tipped.
[01:18:33]  We got Rustang says, Breanna Morello, Viva, have you talked to Brianna recently?
[01:18:37]  Is Fauci going to get off absolutely unscathed?
[01:18:39]  He got a pardon.
[01:18:41]  Yeah, he's getting off.
[01:18:42]  He's not, of course, he's not getting off.
[01:18:43]  Hey, lawyer up.
[01:18:44]  What are you talking about?
[01:18:44]  Lawyer up.
[01:18:45]  Justice is coming.
[01:18:46]  TikTok or whatever.
[01:18:47]  The statute of limitations was up.
[01:18:49]  He got pardoned to prosecute Fauci.
[01:18:51]  It's up on May 11th.
[01:18:52]  We're just a few days away.
[01:18:52]  Will the DOJ?
[01:18:53]  No, because he got a pardon.
[01:18:55]  So states should be going after him.
[01:18:57]  Maybe they should be forcing him to testify to see if he's going to lie under oath again.
[01:19:00]  But yeah, he got off scot free when he got the auto pen pardon from Biden.
[01:19:04]  Brianna Morella told me, It took them months to put this together.
[01:19:08]  LOL, I'm wheezing about the hit piece.
[01:19:13]  That was like, that was completely unbidden.
[01:19:15]  She sent me the piece like I hadn't seen it already.
[01:19:17]  I had like three or four other people, Gateway Pundit, a couple others reached out, and they're like, What is this dog shit?

=== Fauci Pardon Statute Limits (03:02) ===

[01:19:22]  I didn't realize that I hadn't brought up the actual chat.
[01:19:24]  Yeah, you should bring up the chat.
[01:19:25]  Mi scusi.
[01:19:26]  For fuck's sake, says Francis, you have to live record your whole life now.
[01:19:30]  Is that where we are?
[01:19:30]  Yep.
[01:19:32]  I'm looking for my camera.
[01:19:33]  You got to get ring cams in your house so that nobody pretends to get injured or nobody pretends that you improperly touched them.
[01:19:42]  Or you just don't have anybody over.
[01:19:43]  I just don't have anybody over.
[01:19:44]  That's the other.
[01:19:44]  Well, it's impossible not to have people over, but what if Kyle didn't have some bros with him?
[01:19:50]  So this was the comment from a Rustang.
[01:19:52]  All right.
[01:19:52]  So here's what we're going to do, peeps.
[01:19:54]  We're going to go raid.
[01:19:56]  You're so small, Kyle.
[01:19:58]  I often feel that way.
[01:19:59]  And I think I'm slightly bigger than you.
[01:20:00]  Yeah, you are.
[01:20:01]  You're 5'8, right?
[01:20:02]  What do you weigh?
[01:20:03]  Hold on.
[01:20:03]  I was thinking about this earlier.
[01:20:04]  I weigh 158.
[01:20:05]  Okay.
[01:20:06]  You weigh 158.
[01:20:07]  That's my sprinting weight.
[01:20:08]  I'm like 180.
[01:20:09]  Yeah.
[01:20:10]  Well, do you know what?
[01:20:10]  I'm a lot thicker than you.
[01:20:12]  So when I run, I hate life a little bit.
[01:20:14]  Do you know what your body fat percentage is?
[01:20:15]  It's higher than it ought to be right now.
[01:20:19]  I had a scale which was pretty accurate and it was between eight and nine percent and hasn't really changed since then.
[01:20:23]  Oh, yeah.
[01:20:24]  I'm probably in the low teens, I'm sure.
[01:20:26]  I'm heavier than I want to be, but I'm more muscular than I used to be, but I'm still like, I have way extra.
[01:20:30]  I probably have 15 or 20 pounds I could shed and be.
[01:20:33]  Super lean and scary.
[01:20:34]  It's easy enough to do it, but you know, it's easy enough to lose.
[01:20:37]  I'm still like, I'm a dad and I'm married to the same woman for coming up on 15 years.
[01:20:41]  So, like, we're, you know, we're both, we might be coasting a little bit, but I PT like four days a week.
[01:20:46]  And I'm, you know, I'm making sure I don't end up like John Solomon, but at the same time, what do you do for cardio?
[01:20:52]  First of all, we're going to go raid redacted, then we're going to go to the after party.
[01:20:54]  That's fine.
[01:20:55]  What do you do for cardio?
[01:20:57]  I get on a bike with a heart rate monitor and I run targeted heart rate for like 30 minutes, three, four times a week.
[01:21:03]  And then I also treadmill run, I do pace work.
[01:21:06]  I do speed miles, like fart lick type stuff where I'm changing the speed quite a bit.
[01:21:10]  I do, you know, fart lick.
[01:21:12]  Yeah.
[01:21:13]  It's a speed play.
[01:21:13]  It's a Swedish term that runners use for changing speed, like playing with the look it up.
[01:21:18]  Never, never.
[01:21:19]  I'm not looking up fart lick.
[01:21:20]  I know what I'm talking about.
[01:21:21]  No, look up fart lick.
[01:21:22]  I mean, it's not spelled the way you think it is, but yeah, I do like fart lick training and then, and then I do a lot of like high intensity training.
[01:21:31]  So I'll do circuits of like nasty weights and then I do some powerlifting too.
[01:21:35]  So I just do bench, squat, and deadlifts, like one each day of the week if I can.
[01:21:39]  The biking, what's your heart rate when you're on a bike?
[01:21:41]  What do you get?
[01:21:42]  So, I can get my heart rate into the 180s on a bike because I push it.
[01:21:48]  When I'm running, I'll get it into the 190s if I'm so inclined.
[01:21:51]  I try to actually keep it in sort of the zone three, zone four.
[01:21:56]  So, I generally try to keep my heart rate between like 140 and 165 kind of deal.
[01:22:02]  But I like leave a puddle of sweat when I'm on a bike.
[01:22:05]  Like, I'm not just like pedaling along.
[01:22:08]  And have you had an echocardiogram recently?
[01:22:11]  Your heart's good?
[01:22:12]  I have not, but I have a long history of running super high heart rates with physical activity.
[01:22:20]  Like, I can sustain like 175 and have a conversation with you.

=== Citizen Kane Review Challenge (00:56) ===

[01:22:24]  Okay.
[01:22:25]  This sounds like a challenge.
[01:22:26]  Okay.
[01:22:26]  We're going to go over there.
[01:22:27]  I'll get on a bike and I'll show you the heart rate monitor some days.
[01:22:31]  To get that high on a bike, that's what I find kind of impressive.
[01:22:33]  Because, like, the one thing about bikes is it's nice, but it's not, it's usually low.
[01:22:38]  Yeah.
[01:22:38]  I jam it.
[01:22:39]  It's a little lower than jogging.
[01:22:40]  All right.
[01:22:40]  We're going to go an update.
[01:22:41]  We're going to go to locals.
[01:22:41]  We're going to watch that video.
[01:22:42]  We're going to talk about the Patel Bourbon.
[01:22:44]  And whatever else comes up.
[01:22:46]  And everybody else who's not coming, see you later.
[01:22:48]  Oh, shoot.
[01:22:48]  Seven o'clock tonight, people.
[01:22:50]  Lord Buckley, we're reviewing Citizen Kane.
[01:22:54]  Have you seen Citizen Kane, Kyle?
[01:22:57]  Not in 25 years.
[01:22:58]  So, this gentleman named Lord Buckley and I, we do a movie review.
[01:23:03]  Totally, it's not even apolitical, it's anti political.
[01:23:05]  No, it's just the absence of politics.
[01:23:08]  And tonight, hell or high water, we're going to be doing it.
[01:23:12]  This is the playbook button.
[01:23:14]  We're doing, oh, I didn't see it.
[01:23:15]  It's not showing it.
[01:23:15]  We're doing Citizen Kane reviews.
[01:23:18]  I heard your music and I was like, I know this.
[01:23:20]  This is the end of Viva.
