THEY KEEP DOING THIS

Ajouté : 2026-06-03

[00:00:00]Imagine waking up tomorrow morning and finding the director of national intelligence.

[00:00:06]The person overseeing America's intelligence community, the person sitting above agencies dealing with China, Russia, Iran, cyber warfare, terrorism, satellites, signals, intelligence, covert threats, foreign spies, nuclear instabilities, and all the other nightmare fuel that keeps serious people awake at night is now a real estate air. No, no kidding. Not a former CIA director, not a military intelligence commander, not some quiet old Cold War bastard who spent 30 years reading intercepted cables in a witnessless room while surviving entirely on coffee and cigarettes. No, a housing finance guy, a Fanny May Freddy Mack guy, real estate capital guy, a dude whose resume screams mortgagebacked securities, not Russian sleep or sell.

[00:00:59]And that is where we are now because Donald Trump just appointed William Py, the director of Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fanny Ma Mack or Fanny May and Freddy Mack to serve as the Yeah. director of national intelligence replace Tulsi Gabbard.

[00:01:18]And if your first reaction was, "Wait, what the hell does a finance guy have to do with national intelligence?"

[00:01:28]Congratulation, your brain still works because that is the question. That's the whole video. How the hell do we go from top intelligence job in America to the guy overseeing mortgage giants?

[00:01:41]This isn't even putting a square peg in a round hole anymore. This is trying to install a garage door opener into a nuclear submarine.

[00:01:51]And somehow everybody is supposed to not along like this is normal. No, it is not normal.

[00:01:57]It is not serious. It's not stable. And it damn sure is not what a serious empire does when the world is on fire.

[00:02:05]Because while this is happening, we're not exactly living through a peaceful golden age. Not like we were sold. Not like we were sold. Iran is escalating.

[00:02:15]Russia is still a problem. China is watching every move. Cyber warfare is becoming normal. AI is moving faster than the government can even understand it.

[00:02:26]Drones are changing the battlefield completely. The Middle East is in a pressure cooker. And our answer is, "Hey man, get me the mortgage guy."

[00:02:36]Brilliant.

[00:02:37]Outstanding. Somewhere in Beijing, an intelligence officer just spit out his tea.

[00:02:44]Right now, let me be clear. This is acting director of national intelligence. That matters. It does. It does because this necessar isn't necessarily a permanent unless he's nominated and confirmed. But acting doesn't mean fake. It doesn't mean ceremonial. Acting doesn't mean pretend office with toy badge. The DNI is supposed to coordinate the intelligence community as a whole. That includes agencies like the CIA, NSA, DIA, NG, NGA, NRO, and the rest of the Alphabet Soup agencies most Americans couldn't name unless they've watched too much Jack Ryan while eating gas station nachos. That is the person helping synthesize threats for the president.

[00:03:29]This is the job where raw intelligence becomes strategic understanding. This is not a side hustle.

[00:03:36]It's not a board seat. This is not a charity live stream where you give away money on Twitter. This is national intelligence. And Trump is basically saying, "Yeah, he runs housing finance.

[00:03:47]Let him watch the spies, too, brother.

[00:03:50]That is insane. That is insane.

[00:03:54]>> Federal housing finance director Bill Py to be acting director of national intelligence to replace Tulsi Gabbard.

[00:04:01]So, President Trump making this surprise announcement today on Truth Social regarding PY, the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chair of mortgage giants Fanny May and Freddy Mack. Here's what the president had to say. I'm appointing the director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fanny May, Freddy Mack, William J. PY to serve as acting director of national intelligence.

[00:04:23]William has a deep experience managing the most sensitive matters in America, the safety and soundness of the markets and over 10 trillion dollars at Fanny May. Freddy Mack, a substantial increase from where it was just 12 months ago.

[00:04:36]During this period, he will remain director.

[00:04:39]>> Yeah, sounds solid. Sounds like he's got a ton of experience >> of the Federal Housing Finance Agency and chairman of Fanny May, Freddy Mack.

[00:04:48]Congratulations to director PY, President Donald J. Trump just shared moments ago here from the president.

[00:04:54]Now, President Trump >> and notice that all all of the administration movements have been been done through true social. It's absolutely insane to me. No like serious press briefing. I just posted on True Social, >> saying there Py will keep his other positions even as he fills in for Gabbard who resigned last month after revealing her husband's cancer diagnosis. If formerly nominated, PY would need to be confirmed by the Senate to hold this position full-time.

[00:05:24]>> They're going to eat him alive when he goes up there.

[00:05:27]>> He has criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell for having not cut >> Yeah, they're going to eat PY alive.

[00:05:36]Really?

[00:05:38]It's absolutely insane. And and I know some of you are going to say, "Jack, you're just you're just attacking Trump again." No, I'm attacking I'm I'm I'm I am attacking on seriousness. There's a difference.

[00:05:57]I supported Trump for years when he was right. I defended him when the media was lying.

[00:06:03]I've been calling out the deep state since day one.

[00:06:07]I've called out the intelligence community every week damn near since I've had a YouTube channel 14 years now.

[00:06:15]I've called out the swamp. But loyalty does not require a labbotomy. And that's a lot what I'm saying because a lot of the Trump supporters, they would just go along with any of this nonsense.

[00:06:28]And let me say this, man. I'm about to the point to start giving high fives to MAGA guys. When I see the red hat, I'm going to give him a high five right in the face because I went and changed my oil today and it cost $200.

[00:06:41]$200 for an oil change.

[00:06:45]Anyway, let's say you're still on that side.

[00:06:49]You're still wearing your red cap. You can support someone and still say this is stupid.

[00:06:53]In fact, if you can't say that, you're not a supporter. You're in a cult. And cults are for weak men, weird commues.

[00:07:01]communes and people who think drinking kale water makes them a prophet. This appointment fits a pattern and that is what bothers me.

[00:07:12]It's not just one weird pick. It's the whole operating system right now.

[00:07:17]Loyalty over expertise.

[00:07:20]TV or social media presence over confidence. Personal allegiance over institutional serious. Who is useful?

[00:07:28]Who is loyal? Who looks good on camera?

[00:07:32]That is what I'm saying for this administration.

[00:07:35]Who will defend the king?

[00:07:38]That seems to be the test. And maybe that works for campaign surrogates.

[00:07:43]Maybe that works for cable news channels. And maybe it works when you're trying to win a media cycle. But intelligence is not a media cycle. And it ain't real estate.

[00:07:55]It ain't social media engagement.

[00:08:00]It is one of the darkest, most serious, most morally complicated parts of our government.

[00:08:06]And when intelligence becomes political theater, countries get blindsided, wars get misread, threats get ignored, bad actors get bolder, and the American people get fed whatever narrative is convenient for that week.

[00:08:20]Now, if you compare this to some of the other uh appointments we've seen, Cash Patel at the FBI, who I highly dislike, by the way, for the record, um but now whether you love Cash or hate Cash, at least Cash lived in that world, he had worked in national security.

[00:08:42]He had worked around intelligence defense. And you can argue whether this was the right guy. I still say he isn't the right guy, but at least he worked in that world. At least the resume was in the same zip code. And yeah, I know that wasn't Cash I mean uh Cash Patel. They I can't tell tell those guys apart.

[00:09:02]Anyway, then let's talk about Dan Dan Bonino, the deputy FBI director. Again, I dislike Dan Banino. May maybe dislike is the wrong word. Maybe detest is the correct word, but at least he had law enforcement and Secret Service experience, this guy. He understands protection at least at the most basic level. He understands investigations at some point.

[00:09:27]But going from podcast warrior to deputy director of the FBI, man, I I'm like still a massive jump.

[00:09:35]This is like saying, "Hey man, I watch a lot of UFC, so go ahead and put me in the cage with Jon Jones."

[00:09:44]Brother, you may understand vi violence conceptually, but now your femur is facing the wrong direction.

[00:09:52]Then let's talk about Elena Haba, who let's let's be honest, guys, got hired for her bus size and not her law degree.

[00:10:00]Okay, just another example. Trump's personal attorney becomes a federal prosecutor in New Jersey. Again, the issue is not that she's a lawyer. The issue is whether she has the depth, the prosecutional experience, and the institutional credibility for that role.

[00:10:17]And courts later question the legality of that appointment.

[00:10:20]We have a pattern here. The resume matters less than the proximity to Trump. The job matters less than loyalty. And now we've taken that same pattern, applied it to national intelligence. That should bother everybody.

[00:10:34]Right-wing, left-wing, independent libertarian, prepper, marine, cop, Navy Seal, truck driver, soccer mom, everyone. Because intelligence is one of those things where if it fails, you don't find out immediately. You find out later and usually after a body count. And that's the ugly truth. Bad intelligence doesn't look bad on day one. On day one, everybody's smiling.

[00:11:00]Everyone releases a statement. Everyone says the appointee is brilliant, tremendous, fantastic, deeply respected, uniquely qualified. All the usual political perfume sprayed over a dead animal. Then six months later, something blows up and suddenly everyone asks, "How did nobody see that coming?" Well, maybe because the people in charge were chosen like contestants on a loyalty game show.

[00:11:25]That's how.

[00:11:27]Now, let's talk about PY specifically.

[00:11:29]PY is not nobody, okay? He's not some random guy Trump found wandering around Maraago asking where the shrimp cocktail was. He is the head of the federal uh housing finance agency. He oversees Fanny May, Freddy Mack, and the federal home loan banks. That is real power.

[00:11:46]That is massive financial machinery.

[00:11:49]Again, Trump even po post even bragged about his 10 trillion dollars at Fanny and Freddy. Fine.

[00:11:56]That's impressive. But managing financial institutions is not the same thing as managing intelligence.

[00:12:01]A man can be very good at one thing and completely out of his depth in another.

[00:12:06]I I don't want my dentist flying me around in a helicopter. I don't want my barber doing my taxes. I'm going to go to prison. And I don't want the mortgage guy overseeing spy agencies like China, Russia, Iran, and every cyber freak on earth that's probing America with it weakness. It's not This is not complicated.

[00:12:26]Now the the defense of PY from the red hats will be well he's a manager he understands sensitive markets he can oversee large systems he's trusted by Trump that'll be the argument again leadership matters management matters and markets are sensitive I can agree housing finance is serious but intelligence isn't just management it's judgment it's threat interpretation it's understanding deception and most importantly understanding our foreign adversaries, the classified collection systems that that they the world they live in. It's knowing the difference between a real signal, a political narrative, and a bureaucratic ass covering. It's knowing when an agency is lying to you.

[00:13:13]It's knowing when the president is hearing what he wants to hear instead of what he needs to hear.

[00:13:19]Think about Joe Kent. Joe Kent, very qualified for his job, lived in the intelligence world, special operations, combat tours, and he got slammed by Donald Trump saying that he was a leaker. But what he was he was not technically leaking. What he was doing is is is exposing that there was a big cover up in the Charlie Kirk murder. There's a big cover up.

[00:13:46]That's what he was leaking. I'm glad he did because they're still covering that junk up. Charlotte Kirk was not some podcaster that got taken out that day in September. No, he was far more than that.

[00:14:05]He managed the political spectrum. He had the ear of the youth.

[00:14:11]He received tons of millions of dollars of donations that he would funnel into various candidates.

[00:14:19]He was a ma massive cog in the machine.

[00:14:23]And because his beliefs didn't align with the narratives of the overlords, he was taken out.

[00:14:30]That's truly what I believe.

[00:14:34]Joe Kent tried to expose that, but he got slammed for it, calling him a leaker. And people who never served a a day in the Boy Scouts trash this man, right?

[00:14:45]Again, PY obviously big position, but it's not the same skill set as overseeing mortgage markets in the world of intelligence, right? The other part nobody wants to talk about is the DNI is supposed to speak truth to power, not flatter power, not flatter power. And that is what we see a lot of flattery going on. It's the whole point. The job is not to walk into the Oval Office and say, "Hey sir, everything that you believe is correct, your enemies are evil and your instincts are perfect and your true social post was strategically brilliant, sir." No, that is not it. The job is to walk in and say, "Mr. President, this is what the intelligence shows whether you like it or not." And that requires independence.

[00:15:27]It requires a spine, credibility.

[00:15:31]It requires a president knowing the person in that chair has earned the right to say uncomfortable things to him. If the only qualification is loyalty, then the system is broken before the briefing starts. Because loyalists don't deliver bad news. They manage bad news. They soften it. They spin it. They turn intelligence into mood lighting. And that's how leaders get isolated from reality. History is packed with this. Kings surrounded themselves with flattery. Dictators surround themselves with yesmen.

[00:16:05]Presidents surround are surrounded by political operators. CEOs surrounded by executives afraid to say, "Hey man, the product sucks, sir."

[00:16:14]Everybody gets smiles, agrees, everybody nods. Then the empire drives off a cliff at full speed while the back seat keeps saying, "Great turn, sir."

[00:16:25]That's what scares me. Not PY personally. I don't know the man. Maybe he's smart, competent, a great manager.

[00:16:34]I don't know. Could be a genius.

[00:16:39]Maybe he reads classified briefings like a demon and somehow becomes Jason Bourne with a Zillow account. Maybe. But that's not the standard. The standard is not can we imagine a world where this might work. It should be is this the best possible person for the most sensitive job in America? And if the answer is no, then why are we doing it? Because the world is too dangerous for fantasy football government. You can't just draft your buddies into critical positions because they were good on TV, loyal online, rich, connected, or useful in political combat. This is not a fantasy league. This is national survival.

[00:17:16]And I know some people will say, well, the intelligence community is corrupt anyway.

[00:17:21]Correct.

[00:17:23]We know that the intelligent community has lied, manipulated, spied, pushed garbage, protected itself. It has done things that should make every American deeply suspicious. But the answer to a corrupt institution is not to replace expertise with amateurs.

[00:17:40]The answer is reform plus competence.

[00:17:44]You need people who can understand the machine well enough to fix it. Not people who walk into the engine room with a hammer because they saw a YouTube short about diesel maintenance.

[00:17:53]That is the difference. You don't fix the CIA by uh appointing your golf buddy. You don't fix the FBI by by turning into a podcast studio. You don't fix the DOJ by installing your personal legal defense team. You fix these places by putting in serious, ruthless, competent people in charge who understand the mission, understand abuse, and have enough backbone to clean house without turning the place into a political revenge factory. That is the standard. and we are drifting away from it. Right? And now let's zoom out. This is happening during one of the most instable m moments in modern history. Iran, Russia, China, AI, drones, cyber attacks, information warfare, domestic instability, the e economy is fragile, global supply chain risk, weaponized migration, cartel networks, terror threats, foreign influence operations.

[00:18:52]This is not the time to experiment with intelligence community like it's a damn startup incubator. This is not Shark Tank for spies. Hi, I'm Bill. I'd like to coordinate 18 intelligence agencies while still running housing finance.

[00:19:06]Mark Cuban is going to hit the buzzer and say I'm out. And that's the part that makes this feel so surreal because it's not like America's bored and looking for side quests. We we have real threats, real enemies, instability, and real consequences. Our leadership class keeps acting like this. Personal decisions are just content drops. Who gets attention? Who gets praised?

[00:19:31]the headlines, who's triggering the lips, who's on in the media cycle.

[00:19:35]Meanwhile, the average American is watching the country feel less serious by the day. And that is the decline nobody wants to name. Decline isn't always collapsed. Decline is when standards quietly disappear. Is when unqualified people get serious jobs because they know the right person.

[00:19:52]Decline is when loyalty replaces confidence. Decline is when institutions become props and everything is becoming a performance.

[00:20:04]Right? It's the most important question is when when the government becomes will he defend the boss instead of can he do the job? And that's where we are. And that should piss people off because we're the ones who pay for it, not the people making these appointments.

[00:20:23]They live behind security. They have private travel. They have money access networks. If something goes wrong, they'll be in a bunker, on a plane, or behind a gate. You'll be at the gas pump wondering why diesel is $7. You'll be watching the news wondering why nobody saw the attack coming.

[00:20:42]You'll be trying to keep your family safe while the people in charge explain how this was unforeseeable.

[00:20:49]It's always unforeseeable after incompetence fails. It's funny how that works.

[00:20:55]So, here's the takeaway.

[00:20:58]A lot of people say, "Oh, you hate on Trump." Well, I mean, man, not I'm not happy, right?

[00:21:06]This isn't about defending the old intelligence community because I'm not.

[00:21:11]This isn't pretending the swamp was doing a beautiful job because they weren't.

[00:21:16]Swamp is real. Corruption is real.

[00:21:19]Politicization is real. But you don't beat politicized intelligence with more politicized intelligence.

[00:21:25]You don't beat incompetence with loyalty appointments.

[00:21:29]And you don't beat the deep state by turning government into a fan club. You beat it with serious men, serious standards, appointments, and accountability.

[00:21:38]And right now, appointing a housing finance official as the director of national intelligence does not look serious. It looks like another sign that America's institutions are becoming per personality extensions of whoever controls them.

[00:21:52]And that's dangerous because the intelligence is not supposed to be or belong to a man. It's supposed to serve the country, right? And the second intelligence serves the man over the country, we are in very dangerous territory. That's the real warning. That's why this matters.

[00:22:11]Not because I'm saying Bill Py is a villain. I don't know the guy, right?

[00:22:15]Not because every Trump pick is automatically bad, although because the pattern is getting louder.

[00:22:24]Loyalty, loyalty over competence, optics over expertise.

[00:22:30]And eventually that bill comes due. It always does. It always does.

[00:22:36]Guys, I want to uh touch on something real quick. Um two two things you know about being prepared especially in this time in the world I don't think things are going to go well. We came out with today for a discounted rate this week the zero protocol.

[00:22:54]The black scout zero protocol is a PDF training system along with videos has videos in there as well. It's going to be on a discounted rate for this week for $29.99. It's going to give you the zero mindset, the zero man to become prepared. It is it is the foundation of all of our training. It's the starting point. And uh I know if you're new to this channel, you may not have lived in this world. This is one that you need to get. It will put you in a better position, better prepared than 99% of the population if you just follow this manual.

[00:23:29]Again, this is the baseline. This is the starting point. This is if you do not live this standard, this zero protocol, then you are not safe. You're not in good standing in the world. So, this week it'll be $29.99 as a PDF with videos. So, um you can download it to your phone, print it out, whatever you want to do. Download the videos or screen record the videos, whatever you want to do. Keep them for backup, however you want to do it. But, uh start training it now. This is not a entertainment book. This is a training manual. Okay? the Black Scout Zero Protocol, Black Scout Survival Readiness System. Um, so this week it'll be that way. Now, that is not the only thing.

[00:24:09]Another thing is I came out with this multi-tool today. Is also on sale this week for $49.99. This is a slimline multi tool you can keep in your pocket.

[00:24:18]Has the deep carry pocket clip. Has a tactical folding blade.

[00:24:23]This is called the Scout utility tool.

[00:24:26]Scissors. You see it on the screen there. all the tools. Has a bit driver here, locking tools for the blade and the uh scissors. Has a titanium glass breaker here so you can escape a vehicle. G10 handles, high quality, slimline. I keep it in my pocket so that way I have a fighting blade on me as well as a tool that I can use. And I've been carrying it, testing it for four months now. And to me, this is like the upgraded version to the Swiss Army knife. is like the best thing that I've created. Um, so anyway, these are on sale this week as well for $49.99. Go grab them. The Scout Utility Tool. Um, I just want you to get get prepared. Keep this in your kit, your purse, whatever, your glove box.

[00:25:10]Keep one of these. Maybe grab a few for the price. Um, but you'll notice that you'll be reaching for this a a lot more than you think. At least I have. So anyway, I wanted to create a tool urban environments, survival environments, and basically the Swiss Army knife is, you know, it doesn't have a pocket clip, but I wanted to create something better than that and for an affordable price. Obviously, can opener, uh, bottle opener, screwdrivers, all that sort of stuff. Um, different cutters, bit driver tools with a flathead and a Phillips. But you'll be reaching for this quite often, so go check it out. I'll put the links in the description, guys. and remember to stay frosty, stay strapped, stay dangerous, and never outsource your survival to people who treat the government like a casting call. It's Black Scout Survival, and I will see you in the next one.

[00:25:58]Black Scout.

[00:25:59]>> Two, three, two.
