| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Thank you.
This has been a rather awful start to the new year.
14 people are dead and many more are injured after an ISIS attack in New Orleans.
There was also a car bomb that exploded out of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
Tonight, we're going to be joined by terrorism expert Seb Gorka.
So you're not going to want to miss it.
I hope you all had a great new year yourselves and perhaps with your loved ones, but this is not a great start.
this is what happens when you have open borders, when you have Democrat weakness and insanity in place.
So we're going to cover all of that.
May even have some time to take some of your questions tonight after we get through with the interview.
But make sure you guys are liking, sharing and subscribing so that you never miss one of these major episodes.
And remember, you can get the show on Apple Podcasts.
You can get it on Spotify if you miss the show here on Rumble.
If you have friends that get their shows, you know, or in podcasts that way, make sure you help.
Get the word out.
Let them know.
Share it with them.
That's how we beat the algorithm.
That's how we get ahead of the insanity.
It's because of you guys that we're able to do this.
So let's make sure everyone who actually wants to hear the truth can get to it.
For all of the top headlines that we'll cover here on the show, also check out my news app, MXM News, like minute by minute, MXM, where you can get the mainstream news without the mainstream bias.
And we'll get into all of the top news in just a moment.
But first, don't forget to also check out some of our great and brave sponsors who have the guts to support a show like this.
First, check out the Birch Gold Group and diversify your savings.
With my father coming back into office, folks, you're going to have a lot more money in your paycheck, and that means you'll have more opportunities to plan for the future.
One way you can do that is by diversifying your portfolio into gold.
For over 20 years, the Birch Gold Group has helped thousands of Americans protect their savings by converting an IRA or 401k into an IRA in physical gold.
To learn more, text Don Jr.
It's really simple.
Text Don Jr., D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898 and claim you're free.
No obligation info kit on goal.
It's free.
What do you have to lose?
Educate yourself.
Learn.
Make the right decision.
So text Don Jr., D-O-N-J-R, to the number 989898. And guys, now let's get into all of the top headlines.
We have some new developments in the New Orleans ISIS attack The FBI is now saying that they're certain the attacker acted alone Really?
Are they right?
This is the same FBI that yesterday Said, after it was known that the attacker had an ISIS flag, said it's not a terrorist attack, right?
This is the same FBI that classified parents that were pissed off at PTA meetings as domestic terrorists.
So let's make sure it's just not someone who was attending a PTA meeting that had somehow been radicalized.
I mean, you'd think the ISIS flag is sort of a giveaway, but who knows these days?
Check this out.
We'll be taking over the investigative lead for this event.
This is not a terrorist event.
What it is right now is their improvised explosive devices that was found and we are working on confirming if this is a viable device or not.
As Chief Kirkpatrick said, we're Yeah.
After seeing that, are you surprised that the New York Post got into the ISIS terrorist house hours before the FBI showed up?
Think about that.
A reporter from a newspaper got to the house, Hours before and was able to get in hours before the FBI. If you've been watching the FBI for the last eight or nine years, you understand that should not be a surprise, but it should scare the hell out of you.
The terrorists also said that he joined ISIS before this past summer.
But the FBI somehow did not have him on their radar.
Again, maybe a little preoccupied, going after people, buying MAGA, swag, and Bibles, sort of like the J6 stuff, right?
Maybe they've been too focused, again, on parents attending school board meetings that just don't want their children being indoctrinated.
FBI Director Christopher Wray also introduced DEI initiatives that push the FBI to pass new recruits who are literally overweight, drug users, or actually just simply fail the entrance exams.
I mean, what's the purpose of an entrance exam if you fail it and you still get in?
I mean, incredible stuff.
Looks like we have our work cut out for us come January 20th, folks.
There is a lot that needs to be fixed.
But seriously, that's all according to a report put out by FBI special agents.
The New Orleans attack is a reminder of how dangerous Biden's open border is.
Do you remember this news report from the summer about how dozens of illegal immigrants linked to an ISIS smuggling network were on the loose?
In case you didn't, here's a refresher.
NBC News has learned more than 50 migrants with potential ties to an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network are at large in America.
Many illegally crossed the border and were released into the U.S. by Border Patrol because there was no information suggesting terror ties at the time.
Now, their whereabouts are unknown, as immigration agents look to arrest them, U.S. officials tell us, saying they're among a group of over 400 migrants DHS identified in the U.S. from Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Moldova, Kyrgyzstan, Georgia, and Russia as subjects of concern because they were brought to the U.S. by an ISIS-affiliated smuggling network.
Imagine how many more they don't know about.
Imagine how many of these cells can just be activated after four years of this porous border.
Throughout this entire failure of a presidency, all we've seen is news of terrorists taking advantage of the open border.
In August, for example, we learned that the Biden administration released 100 illegal immigrants on the terror watch list, literally on it.
They're aware they're on a terror watch list and they let them into the country anyway.
Remember, they did this with 13,000 murderers.
They did it with 16,000 rapists and sex offenders and 600,000 criminals.
What could possibly go wrong?
This is Biden's ICE numbers, not someone else, not guessing.
I imagine those numbers are probably a lot lower than reality, but they know they let in these people to the country.
That seems treasonous.
Not almost treasonous.
That seems treasonous.
What are these terrorists up to right now?
Do we know where they are?
I mean, it's insane.
Meanwhile, there was that bizarre explosion outside of the Trump Hotel in Las Vegas.
Fortunately, no one was killed, but several people were injured.
This stuff is going on, and it's insane.
The alleged attacker is a Green Beret who supposedly shot himself right before the explosion?
I don't know.
It's unclear what the intention of this car bomb was.
He's a Green Beret and would have been able to build a bigger bomb in a non-armored car.
None of this adds up.
Was it just a symbolic suicide?
Hopefully they actually get to the bottom of all of it because it's all very strange, especially that it happened at the same time as the New Orleans attack and they both served on the same army base and they both rented cars from the same company.
Did they know each other?
Were they perhaps radicalized together?
On his way out, Joe Biden is doing nothing to help the country.
Nothing.
In fact, probably doing worse.
Instead, he's actually trying to make sure you pay higher gas prices.
I'm serious.
Check this thing out from Bloomberg.
Quote, President Joe Biden is preparing to issue a decree permanently banning new offshore oil and gas developments in some U.S. coastal waters, locking in difficult to revoke protections for sensitive marine areas during his final weeks in the White House.
Just so we're clear, that means the areas are not all that sensitive.
They've been doing it for years.
There was never an issue.
They got permits, but we're just going to try to lock it in and continue to screw the country as we've been doing for the last four years.
That seems to be the Democrat MO these days.
The move is certain to complicate my father, President-elect Donald Trump's ambitions to drive more domestic energy production.
That's the remainder of the quote.
This is nuts, man.
This is absolutely insane.
Biden, and not Biden, whoever the Democrat powers that be who are his puppet masters, just wants to kneecap the incoming administration.
There's no justification for doing this on their way out.
We'll get into all of that shortly with Sebastian Gorka.
But before we do that, I actually saw something I want to address in the live chat from Kalissa Nia.
Donald, I'm a little disappointed.
I saw a video of you possibly doing drugs.
I was appalled and disgusted.
I saw it on X. Was it a real video?
I find men who do drugs to be weak.
Yeah.
I have a feeling that if I was Hunter Biden, if I was doing drugs, and if I was videoing it, it would probably be a big deal.
I imagine you'd actually see this.
I understand that, according to the left, I'm the biggest cokehead or whatever it is since ever.
They don't, you know, they don't really look to their own.
It's typical Democrat projection.
But I think I know the video you're talking about because I was adjusting an outpout like a zin.
I was adjusting a zin in my mouth.
I'm literally standing next to my father and Elon Musk in front of TV camera.
So just to be clear, not doing coke.
That's not my thing.
Never has been.
Contrary to popular belief and internet lore and Democrat histrionics, it's not my thing.
And I imagine if I was a big drug user, You'd probably hear about it, folks.
You'd probably definitely hear about it before everyone else.
So that video is me literally going like that, adjusting a Zen pouch that slipped out of my lip.
I do do that.
Sorry, not perfect.
I think, you know, in the latter stages of a campaign and all of that, and with all the craziness of there, I get by on adrenaline, testosterone, caffeine, and some nicotine.
So that's about the extent of it, but I'm happy to address it.
So, again, unlike Hunter Biden, where there's hundreds of videos of him doing these things, I'd like to show you, like, show me a real one of me actually doing it that's either not a total lie or, like, I don't know.
I think if I had the guts to do that kind of stuff while on camera next to my father and Elon, it would probably be...
I mean, I'd respect the balls, but that's about it.
Anywho, guys, before we get to Seb Gorka, check out our great sponsors over at Tax Network USA.
We're getting to that season.
Do you guys owe back taxes?
Are your tax returns still unfiled?
Missed the deadline to file for an extension?
Don't get blindsided by the IRS and their heavy-handed tactics.
You could face wage garnishment, frozen bank accounts, or even property seizures if you haven't taken action yet.
So like I always say, I just want you to be prepared.
Tax Network USA has helped thousands of Americans save over a billion dollars in tax debt and has filed over 10,000 tax returns.
So visit TNUSA.com/DonJr for a free consultation.
Again, it's free.
What do you have to lose?
Check it out, make sure you're not overpaying.
You know, we're gonna do what we can to fix the government waste, but the swamp is deep and they will continue to do whatever they can.
They'll probably pledge all these funds to, you know, Ukraine before my father gets in even more than I've already done.
What do you have to lose?
That's TNUSA.com slash DONJR. Check them out.
And with that, joining me now, incoming national security official Seb Gorka.
Seb, good to have you on the show.
How are you doing?
I am delighted.
Thank you for the great honor.
Thanks to everyone at Rumble, Chris and everyone else, and Dan Bongino who got me on Rumble as soon as YouTube canceled me.
Happy New Year to you.
And I'm sorry, the 18 days cannot come fast enough, can they, Don?
No, I was saying we're off to a banger start of 2025. Hopefully we get some of that fixed.
But the real problem with fixing anything is you're still saddled, Seb, with the disasters of the last four years, right?
A porous open borders.
If these cells that may or may...
I'm sure there's a lot more than what we know about and what they've told us.
If they start activating, you could shut the border down now, but there could be thousands of people that are literally terrorists in our country right now.
People who have been radicalized.
You see what's going on on college campus with You know, the Palestinian protests cheering on the murder and rape of people in the streets in Israel still from October 7th of, you know, last year.
I mean, well, two years ago now, but this stuff is insane.
What do you make of all of it?
And what can really be done?
Because it feels like it's the kind of thing they're going to, you know, the media will gladly try to blame on Trump even if they got in Through the poorest Joe Biden border, the weak and sort of castrated FBI that's more focused on DEI initiatives than actually stopping terrorists, etc.
Look, I've been doing this for a quarter of a century.
I've been doing counterterrorism for 25 years.
Thanks to your amazing father, I now get to run it for him in the White House and for Mike Waltz as the National Security Advisor.
But you don't have to do what I've done for a quarter of a century.
Just do the math.
For four years, under Kamala Harris and Joe Biden, and the most wicked man of all in their administration, Alejandro Mayorkas, they've let in, according to their figures, Don, eight million illegals.
If you listen to geniuses like Stephen Miller or warriors like Tom Homan, if you add the gotaways, it's at least double.
Okay, so let's say 15 million illegals.
If one percent of them, just one percent, are Al-Qaeda, ISIS, al-Nusra, our cartel members.
Don, that's divisional size assets that you've let into this country.
So, these people hate America.
They've made it clear they hate America.
I'm just so grateful that your dad is coming back.
And look at this team, from Tom Homan, to Governor Noam, to Kash Patel, to Stephen Miller.
We have the team, but I had one, and it's a little bit jokey, but I said before Christmas, I have one request to the good Lord for Santa Claus and everybody else for Christmas.
Can the Biden administration just do nothing, okay?
You don't have to do pardons for Liz Cheney.
Just nothing.
Do nothing for the next six weeks so that when we come in, we can actually have a safe America again.
Yeah, I mean, this whole thing is scary.
The coincidences seem to be too many, right?
People, you know, radicalized with an ISIS flag.
You have sort of the, some incompetent people say, well, we don't think it's a terrorist attack.
I mean, it's just, you know, An ISIS flag and a bunch of IEDs.
I mean, I guess they're mostly peaceful IEDs.
What do you make of the attack in New Orleans?
I mean, listen, if you have a brain and you've been watching for the last nine years, I'm not sure how you don't at least think about the link between that and what happened in Las Vegas.
What are your first reactions to the news of the terrorist attack in New Orleans?
So, first things first, it could have been prevented and those 15 lives needn't have been lost.
Why?
Because the FBI is just a Gestapo political police force for the Democrats.
They're more interested in nose rings And whether Catholics are going to Latin mass in Richmond, Virginia, than they are in actually stopping the threat.
I played a clip on my radio show today, Don, that you can probably find.
Biden was at a commencement not too long ago, in a cap and gown, blah, blah, blah.
And he actually said, on camera, the number one domestic terror threat to America is white supremacists.
Not jihadis, white supremacists.
Let's not forget the man running the military, Lloyd Austin, the guy who disappeared for a month, took the nuclear suitcase with him or just didn't tell anybody where he was.
This individual had an official stand down of the full military.
He stood down, the Marine Corps, the Army, the Air Force, the Navy, the Coast Guard, and Space Force for weeks.
Why?
Were there North Korean hackers inside our nuclear chain of command?
No, they stood down, the US military, the greatest military the world has ever seen, to hunt for white supremacists.
Not jihadis, not Antifa, not BLM, white supremacists.
So why are we surprised that 15 people died in New Orleans at 3 a.m.
on New Year's Day?
Yeah.
Honestly, I'm just glad it's not significantly worse, as terrible as it is.
When you think about all the potential, when you think about that hatred that those people have for our country, and then they let them in.
I thought it was bad enough when I read about 13,000.
Again, legit.
These are Joe Biden's ICE numbers.
13,000 murderers they let in.
16,000 rapists and sex offenders.
They know they're rapists and sex offenders.
They know they're murderers, and they still, like, what on earth are they thinking?
Like, what civilization can survive that?
This isn't like someone, you know, I don't know, got caught shoplifting when they were 12 and changed their lives around.
I mean, you're a murderer or a rapist.
Like, I draw a pretty hard line there, and they let in 13,000 and 16,000 respectively?
That's insane.
Well, look, it's not insane if you understand who these people are.
Look, you've written about this in Triggered.
You've seen this behind the Iron Curtain when you were a kid, Don.
A couple of years ago on my radio show, I had this epiphany and I realized you've got to delete, you know that bleach bit that Hillary used?
You've got to delete the letter R and the letter D behind the names of Americans, not just politicians, all of us, because it's not about Republicans or Democrats or even conservatives and liberals.
There's only one line that divides us in America today.
Do you love America?
Like your dad does?
Or do you hate it?
Because if you hate America, you would do exactly what the Biden-Harris administration has been doing for 40 years.
You can't love America.
No, I agree.
I agree.
I've said this a bunch of times, and I got, you know, some flag for it.
There's two things.
First of all, like, you can basically tell someone's political allegiance, like if they have an American flag in their yard, you know they're a Republican.
But worse than that, I sort of used the sort of, you know, maybe it was overused until you look at what's actually going on.
You realize, no, it's just factually accurate.
You know, the sort of proverbial Manchurian candidate analogy.
Like, if you were...
Somehow to infiltrate the United States government.
And you were trying to destroy America from within.
What would you do differently than today's Democrat Party?
And the answer to me is nothing.
I don't know if you can think of anything else.
It's like, I literally can't think of anything that they could do that they haven't already done that would slowly destroy and erode the foundation of America better than basically what the Democratic Party, like, they got to be like China's MVP. Look, don't listen to us.
Look at them and listen to what they said.
Remember, just before the inauguration in 2008, what did Obama say?
He said, we are days away from fundamentally changing America.
If I told my wife, who I love, hey, I love you, Katie, but I need to fundamentally change you, I wouldn't be on the couch.
I would literally be in the doghouse with my hounds tonight, okay?
The fact is, you don't change that which you love.
They think America is the problem from the 1619 Project all the way through, you know, wokery in the US military, all the way to, think of this, just forget everything else, forget politics.
Why would you release?
Billions with a B, billions of dollars to a regime in the Middle East that every Friday from the mosque preaches the destruction of the great Satan America.
Who does that?
Who would do that?
Only people who are on the side of those who hate America.
Another one, again, not politics.
When a surveillance balloon Slowly traverses the whole of America, especially loitering over our most sensitive sites, and you wait till it's over the ocean to intercept it, and it's being controlled by our biggest communist enemy, China.
Who does that?
If your dad were in the White House and that balloon was spotted coming over Canada to America, I think we know what would happen before it reached our airspace.
Yeah, well, and then you look at the, you know, the pardons and the commutations that Joe Biden, you know, and numbers that have never been done before in any presidential, but when you release a Chinese national that was arrested for pedophilia for having 47,000, 47,000, I mean, I don't know how, you know, 47,000 images?
Why on earth would you commute or pardon the sentence of that individual?
Unless, of course, the Chinese have more on you, which, again, it's almost implausible to assume at this point that China hasn't somehow infiltrated the Democrat Party almost in its entirety just because they are functioning in a manner that purely benefits China and has put America last.
I mean, you know, Seb, other than sort of the obvious that we're talking about as it relates to the border, you know, these last four years with the open borders, you know, there's the obvious ones, but what are some of the things perhaps we're not necessarily thinking about that has made us so much more susceptible to an attack from ISIS or, you know, any other sort of, you know, radicalized terror group around the world?
So many things, and you mentioned one of them already, and it's called information warfare.
The fact that we have people on the streets of New York, on the campuses of the most exclusive colleges in the world, shout things from the river to the sea or bring the Intifada to America, that's jihadi genocidal language.
And when you have the president of Harvard say, Well, it's kind of contextual whether, you know, the wiping out of all of Israel is genocide.
And let's remember, she was removed from that position, but she still has a professorship at $420,000.
Of course she does.
She also plagiarized all her essays, etc., right?
I mean, you know, minor details.
She could or could not be a checkbox candidate.
Maybe that's why she got there.
But by the way, my alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, had the same thing.
You know, I remember when I was there, you know, quite a while ago now, but 25 years ago, had I said something like that, I'd have been thrown out of school in two seconds, that she can sit before Congress.
I thought Elise Stefanik did an incredible job sort of cross-examining the insanity of what's going on, whether this was, again, not a free speech issue, but just a violation of their basic code of conduct.
And she couldn't say that calling for the rape and murder of young women and children in the streets of Israel is a violation.
I don't know, guys.
These elite institutions don't seem like they're all that elite anymore.
Maybe they hadn't been for a while and they were sort of living off their former glory.
Look, if you don't know what river or which sea or you don't know where Palestine is or the fact that it's not really a country and it was an insult for the Jews invented by the Romans, okay, you're ignorant to that stuff.
But when you're harassing American students, When they want to go across the quad to a class because they're wearing a kipper?
I'm sorry.
That's not a freedom of speech issue.
That is hatred being engendered on our campuses.
Look at the stats, Don.
We have more than a quarter of millennials can't tell you what Auschwitz is.
Why?
Because they want to deny it happened.
They want to say, oh, no, no, no.
And, you know, we have people who are making excuses for Hitler on podcasts.
We have people who are saying, well, that that guy Putin, he's just defending Western civilization.
You know, we have a lot of work to do in more than just four years.
Hopefully, you know, JD gets the next eight years.
But we have to take America back in a way That is very clear in terms of we are the shining city on a hill.
Look, my parents escaped communism.
My dad was liberated from a political prison.
He was there with a life sentence.
This isn't a joke.
Look it up.
Why do people windsurf Over shark infested waters from Cuba to Florida.
There's one America in the world.
And you and I, Americans, we don't have somewhere to run if your father hadn't won the election.
This is, you know, if he hadn't turned his head a quarter of an inch, if he hadn't shown that slide, you know, at the beginning of the speech, not the end of the speech, I'm afraid we would have kissed America goodbye.
Yeah, I guess, doesn't all of this show, you know, whether it's the incompetence, the fact that it happened, the fact that this administration continues to play these sorts of games and or sort of put America last, doesn't it show that we need to get people like Kash Patel and,
frankly, the rest of my father's cabinet I mean, it doesn't show the need for even the Democrats You know,
and hopefully at least the people in their constituency to get this cabinet confirmed immediately, to get these top positions confirmed immediately, because this isn't going to be the last one of these if we don't get after it.
I mean, these people, in my opinion, the vast majority are already going to be here or they'll sneak in between now and January 20th.
It's going to take us a little time to shut down the border.
I think we'll be able to do quite a bit quite quickly.
But, you know, four years of this insanity.
Isn't that everything that America needs to know of why we need to get these people confirmed ASAP? This isn't a political statement.
This is a statement about the republic that we are and our constitution.
Everyone who has an hour after their name on Capitol Hill, Senate or otherwise, Needs to have one number.
I mean, maybe we should do this, Don.
Maybe you and I can go to Kinko's and just get a big laminated number, 77 million, and send it to every Republican senator.
And they can stick it above their door in their fancy offices and be reminded every time they go under the lintel that it wasn't the Electoral College.
It wasn't just every battleground states.
Your dad, four years ago, Broke the record for incumbency votes.
No American, no president got 74 million votes as an incumbent.
Oh, and then what happens?
He busts through that seven weeks ago and gets 77 million.
He gets the popular vote.
He gets to choose his team.
You can advise and pretend you're giving consent, but if we have a balance of powers in America, guess what?
The executive gets to have his people in charge of those departments.
And let me be clear, you know, full disclosure, Cash is a friend of mine.
There is nobody in America more qualified to head and fix the corrupt FBI than Kash Patel.
He's 10 years younger than me.
And his resume is mind-blowing.
From terrorism prosecutor at the DOJ, the chief investigator for Devin Newton's on the Intel Committee.
He had my job.
I even didn't know this.
He was the director, the senior director of counterterrorism for your father when we took out Baghdadi.
He was in the NSC. Oh, then he becomes chief of staff of the whole Pentagon and an acting deputy director of national intelligence.
I'm sorry.
I don't know how he did that.
In 44 years, that man needs to be confirmed with every other choice, including Pete Hegseth, including John Radcliffe, all of them.
Yeah, I mean, it seems like there was definitely a mandate.
I mean, I'm watching when you talk about the mandate and the votes and the 77 million and sort of doing all that.
Even the Democrats are sitting there being like, huh, Where are the eight or nine million votes that Joe Biden got in 2020?
Joe Biden, let's just say, I mean, I don't think anyone's ever referred to Joe Biden as a genius.
He didn't do any kind of campaigning.
Even Democrats are like, huh, maybe it was stolen because they're looking at the chart.
Here's what the numbers are.
It's always like this.
One year, just like this, just for Joe Biden.
I mean, he magically outperformed Obama only in Atlanta, Detroit, Milwaukee, and Philadelphia.
It's like, I I don't know.
That one moment, I mean, short of, you know, the victory speech by your dad, my favorite moment of election night was Anderson Cooper in front of the TV. And the guy walks him through and says, so how many counties did Kamala do better than Joe Biden?
And the expert goes, none.
And Anderson Cooper goes, sorry, what?
None?
You know, the female minority vice president Was beaten by the senile old white guy in every county in America.
I think that tells you everything you need to know about 2020. Right, Don?
Yeah.
Well, I mean, I think it's even worse.
Now I'm watching the media do that.
You know what?
We should have been more honest about Joe Biden and his, you know, dementia, you know, his mental failings.
But now we're going to start being like they're basically setting the stage.
It's not really a mea culpa, folks.
OK, just just watch what they're going to do, because I sort of feel like it's not my first rodeo at this point.
They're doing the sort of fake apology after the fact.
They didn't get what they want, but it's going to be their excuse.
You know, Trump will mispronounce the name of some obscure country in, you know, sub-Saharan Africa that no one's heard of, and like, you know, slightly.
You know, no, no, just, and they'll be like, oh my God, we have to have a conversation about dementia and ages and all, like...
They were never planning on being honest.
They're just planning on using it as the excuse.
Now we're actually going to start doing our jobs.
I mean, it's really sick when you see what's going on.
And like, if you've been watching for the last nine years, you should understand it, especially if you've been paying attention.
Do not trust them as far as you can throw them.
The mainstream lying legacy media have no interest in truth.
Look at Jennifer Rubin last week.
Jennifer Rubin says the MAGA readers.
Ha, ha, ha, contradiction in terms because 77 million Americans don't read.
That's who the mainstream media are.
But let's not give them any tips, Don, because apart from the one guy, the Obama appointee, Van Jones, every single one of them has been saying what for the last six weeks?
Oh, those black men are misogynists.
That's why they didn't vote for Kamala.
Oh, those Hispanics in Stark County, they're uneducated.
That's why they voted for Donald Trump.
Keep digging the hole.
Keep calling Black Americans, Hispanic Americans stupid and women haters because in two years time, It's going to be even more delicious.
Yeah, no, I love it.
I mean, watching some of the postmortems and who cares if you can't afford your groceries?
There are three year olds that need to go through gender affirming care without parental consent.
I'm like, please, please make that your hill to die on.
Kamala Harris is leading in the 2028 polls.
Please, let's make sure She makes a comeback because that guarantees the 12-year runway that I'd love to see, and obviously much longer than that.
But that's where we have a pretty solid bench for right now, in my opinion.
But Seb, what are some of the steps The new administration can take to make America safe again.
Obviously, we have securing the border and deporting, you know, especially the criminals on day one.
I mean, that's number one when it comes to immigration, as far as I'm concerned.
Obviously, you know, there's been a lot of stuff about H-1B right now, but like, honestly, we got to get out rapists, murderers, criminals, like that has to be immediate.
And then you figure out the other details of the other things later, especially so we're not displacing, you know, Hard-working Americans where there is fraud and abuse in the H-1B process.
But what are some of those steps, again, sort of beyond the obvious?
Look, I don't want to steal anybody's thunder.
I'll talk about the things that your dad, Tom Homan, Mike Waltz, incoming National Security Advisor, publicly said in the last 18 months.
So, number one, we have to deport everybody who's a threat to the United States.
And Tom said it.
Your dad raises his hand, and then we are on deck.
We are working.
He's working.
CVP is deployed.
I'll be in the White House.
Mike Waltz will be in the White House, and we'll be doing what needs to be done.
Beyond that, can we just talk about the cartels for a second?
So, before my Newsmax show ended last week, I did an analysis of the fentanyl threat to America.
And I decided to kind of put it in context.
And what I did is, I did the math for every US serviceman who's died in combat since the end of World War II. So, sub 45 to 2024. Okay?
So, that's what?
That's Korea, Vietnam, Gulf I, Gulf II, Afghanistan.
In 70 plus years, 103,000 Americans died in uniform.
103,000 in 75 years.
How many people died in America as a result of the drugs that Harris and Biden let across the border?
100,000 a year.
Yeah, you can find the data.
It is buried on their own website, on the CDC website.
And you can find it if you spend enough time.
In the first year of the Biden administration, mostly as a result of Fenton coming in from Mexico, that is supplied in its precursor form by Communist China.
110,000 Americans died in the 12-month period.
So can we just put that in?
Just for perspective of people, that's two Vietnams Yeah, in one year.
In less than 10% of the time, right?
Vietnam was a while.
We were there for 12, 13 years.
We lost 52, 53,000 Americans in that, maybe a little bit more, but less than half of what we lose annually, just to fentanyl, that we can stop, that's being aided and abetted by the CCP, working alongside the Mexican cartels.
I mean, this is something we can stop.
Maybe not on day one, but we better start on day one because that, I mean, think about that.
Two Vietnams a year in perpetuity and barely anyone even talks about it.
That's insane.
And I'm, you know, we're working on this right now, you know, not going to reveal anything, but this will be taken very seriously and actions, actions will be taken On day one, after your father walks down,
you know, Constitution Ave, Pennsylvania, after the inauguration, when he gets back behind the resolute desk, things will happen immediately that will have an effect on entities that are at war with us right now and killing more than 110,000 Americans every single year, not in South Asia, not in Afghanistan, here in America.
Yeah.
And I mean, I can't think of when you think of, you know, justification for use of military, like, what is, if we use the sort of the nomenclature of, you know, a clear and present danger to the United States?
What is bigger?
I mean, it ain't Ukraine.
We're happy to spend, you know, what, half a trillion dollars there.
I mean, directly to Americans, nothing is to me a greater clear and present danger to the United States than the cartels and the fentanyl trade.
When it comes to the action we will be taking, people need to understand who Donald Trump is and what he did for the first four years of his first presidency.
He's not an isolationist, right?
He doesn't say the world doesn't matter.
And he's not a crazy neocon interventionist.
He realizes that action should be swift and should be lethal when there isn't, as you said, a clear and present danger to our interests.
And one of the things that's going to guide, especially our counter-terrorism policy, if you look at the disasters in Syria, you mentioned October the 7th, is if you want to be a serious friend of ours, If you want to be a member of NATO, if you want to be an Arab nation who's on our side like Jordan, you have to pull your weight.
You have to take up the slack.
The days of we're going to do it for you, then the 82nd Airborne is just a phone call away.
No.
I mean, look at what happened in the first administration.
When we came in, I broke my teeth on NATO issues 30 years ago.
When we came in, less than 20% of NATO were paying their dues.
So you're in a club where you, because you're the big guy, You're paying the dues of two-thirds of the members of that club.
And the president says, hang on, Germany, you got a lot of money.
UK, you got a lot of money.
Spain, Greece, really want to be members of NATO? Well, then pull your weight.
Don't be a deadbeat.
By the time we left the White House, the number had almost hit 70% who were paying their dues.
That's all it's about.
If you want to be a friend of ours, Act like a friend.
It's really that simple.
Yeah, I said it last time.
I got in trouble for saying it, but it stands true, but it'd be 100%.
With friends like some of our NATO allies, who needs enemies?
And by the way, if you're them and they just get away with America being the big, dumb, rich, stupid bastard paying for all of them and they've never had to meet their obligations that they signed on to, yeah, I kind of get it.
Like, hey, if we can get away with it, why not?
Good for them.
I mean, they're smarter than we are.
But enough is enough.
Yeah.
I remember a story, no names in the pack drill, but a very senior general came into the Oval one day to talk to your father about a certain Asian nation that will remain unnamed.
And the president said to the general, so how much do we spend on this country's defense?
And the general said, oh, let me check.
And it was like X billions of US taxpayer money.
And the president said, Why?
They're very rich.
Why are we spending on their defense?
And the general said, the one thing you should not tell your father when he asks you a question, he says, because we've always done that.
Not a good answer.
Whether you're building golden towers in Manhattan or whether you're doing security policy, just because we've always done that is the wrong answer.
You know why.
That's why 77 million Americans said, we want the disruptor back.
We want the guy who's going to clean up the swamp.
So yeah, no more deadbeats.
As my friend Chris Plant said, no more suckling on the US taxpayer teat.
If you want to be our friend, act like one.
Seb, what do you make of the car bomb in Las Vegas?
I mean, you know, it seems clearly like, you know, again, as someone who's not a believer in any kind of coincidence anymore, let alone, you know, two people, same day, rented from the same car company, you know, same military base they worked on.
What do you make of that one?
Look, so I'm going to be cautious here, but I'm going to base my preliminary analyses on my experience of working for more than a decade with the Green Berets.
So I've been a guest instructor at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School that actually qualifies the Green Berets.
And this guy's from 10th Group.
He is a Green Beret.
And something just doesn't sit right here.
You said something similar at the beginning of the episode.
To something a friend of mine just texted me who said, could this be an exquisite suicide?
Possibly.
You know, the car's full of, what, fireworks?
If he really wanted to hurt people, why does he wait until there's nobody around the entrance and people who are injured are very far away from the vehicle?
And look, you're a big gun guy.
You know, we bump into each other at SHOT Show.
This week, this month, we're not going to because we're going to be at the inauguration.
You look at the weapons found in the vehicle.
A, he didn't use them except to kill himself, and he's got a very high-end AR, and he's got a Desert Eagle.
A Desert Eagle is about two grand if you get one of the fancy ones.
What are you doing with these fancy weapons you don't use in the vehicle Could this just be a case of PTSD? I don't know.
But in terms of comparison to New Orleans, where it's a jihadi with a jihadi flag who goes online, swears bayat to ISIS before he does that, and then pulls the gun out after he kills all the people with his vehicle and then starts firing.
You know what?
I want more information.
Yeah, it sounds like a Clinton side more than a...
More than a suicide.
I mean, that's my take.
None of it really makes all that much sense if you're logical, but I guess maybe if you're in that state, it's not, so I don't want to get ahead of it, but man, again, a lot of coincidence to sort of Somehow believe in.
And again, after the last few years, I don't know how we do any of that, except on a sort of a geopolitical front.
Will the fall of Assad now mean that ISIS will take advantage of the situation in Syria?
It feels like, you know, Assad was a really bad guy, but so was Saddam Hussein.
And I'm not sure we did any great favors by, you know, When we do regime change in these countries, it seems to always come back to bite us in the ass.
What do you think of that situation in Syria, and what does it mean for the region?
Well, first things first, if anybody tells you they know What's going to happen?
They're a liar or they're trying to sell you something.
Syria is a non-functioning nation that is fractured, fractured with so many different actors, it's impossible to predict whether it will function at all as a quasi-stable Westphalian nation.
You've got these Quote, unquote, reformed jihadis who've taken over in the center.
You've got Kurds.
You've got Israel that's active.
You've got anti-jihadi Arab militias as well.
I'll just say what I know from my experience.
In 25 years of studying jihadism, there has never been a serious, effective jihadi leader like Jaulani who suddenly becomes a moderate.
Who is happy killing Christians and Jews and apostate Muslims and then suddenly says, oh, I love those Christians and Jews.
Never, ever happened.
And what they've done recently with their government, I think, gives you the light to what's really going on there.
What is the future?
I'll tell you what I would like to see as the future, and I think your father's presidential team would like.
Iran.
Iran has to be weakened.
So Syria was a satrapy.
It was a client nation of Iran.
Iran is a threat to the United States.
You look at what they've been planning with your father, with an assassination attempt and everything else.
We have to do one thing, make it impossible for that piece of real estate To not be leveraged against Americans.
And that's not by deploying the 82nd Airborne, that's primarily by working with our Arab partners in the region.
I'm not going to mention names, but the partners of the region who we've worked with in the past, they are so desperate But January the 20th, they will work together with us to minimize the threat and to protect our interest as well as theirs.
So the one thing to say about Syria, it cannot be a launch pad.
It cannot be a base of operations for jihadi attacks in America.
Yeah.
What can you tell us about your job in the incoming administration and what you're going to be doing there?
Well, this is the dream come true when I got the call from your dad a few weeks ago saying, watch True Social in 30 minutes is going to be an announcement.
So inside the National Security Council working for former Greenberry Mike Waltz, you've got like a dozen directorates, each with a geographical functional mission.
Like, you know, there's an Asia one, there's an intelligence one.
I will be running counterterrorism as senior director for the National Security Council's counterterrorism division and deputy assistant to your father, the president.
So all the stuff that we've been witnessing for the last 24 hours will be stuff that I will be fixing for Your father and for Mike Walton, for all the American people.
Somebody asked me, what is your mission?
And it just kind of came.
There are moments when the big guy upstairs just kind of plugs the USB drive in your head and these words come out.
And I said, I've only got one mission for the next however many years your father needs me.
I want to protect the innocent and bring justice to evildoers.
Period.
End of story.
Well, that's certainly a solid mandate.
So I look forward to seeing all of that, Seb.
I look forward to seeing you in D.C. in a couple of weeks.
January 20th cannot come fast enough, as far as I'm concerned, but thank you for all you do.
Thanks for being here.
Can I say one thing, given whose show I'm on?
Because people don't talk about this enough.
Butler.
I was at Butler the second time, not the first time.
And I play the footage from the first time almost every day on my show.
People need to understand what they witnessed there.
I've worn a military uniform.
I played at soldiers in the British Reserves for a few years.
If I'd been shot in the head, I would have seen the blood of my hand, and I know what I would have done.
Despite having worn a British Army uniform, I would have said, oh my God, I've been shot, and I would have frozen.
What we witnessed with the incoming president was remarkable.
First, taking cover.
Then taking control, control of the Secret Service detail, then telling everyone in the world, it's okay, relax, I'm alive, fight, fight, fight.
That was a lion.
You know that, but I want people watching your show to understand We're saving not just America, but Western civilization, because what we witness there is what a man is and what a warrior is, and people need to understand the catalytic effect of what your dad did that day.
Well, I appreciate it, Seb.
Thank you so much.
Thank you for being here.
Guys, I'm going to take some of your questions now, Seb.
I'll see you in D.C. in a couple of weeks, and good luck with everything, man.
Thank you for all your help.
Well guys, okay, gonna take a couple of your questions here.

Happy belated birthday, Don Jr. Yes, my birthday is New Year's Eve, so I appreciate that.
Thank you.
I'm old as dirt, but I feel really good about what we can do for our country, and most importantly, the legacy we can leave our children.
And so I'm excited about that.
Another year past us, had a great New Year's Eve at Mar-a-Lago.
Surprisingly enough, I complained about this last time.
Not a lot of people giving me political pointers or hints.
I think people are all just really excited about it.
So thank you for the belated birthday wishes.
A year older, but perhaps hopefully also a year wiser.
Let's see.
Fleet Lord Avatar, what did DJT get after getting shot?
His definition of the word hero.
Alex and Alexander, two Greek hosts from geopolitical...
Pundit show called The Duran.
Well, thank you.
I appreciate you calling him a hero.
I think that, I mean, listen, everyone thinks they're going to be a badass in a tough situation.
Not everyone actually ever is.
Most people usually aren't.
And so it's sort of said to get back up and stand and fight in the face of literal gunfire and actually getting hit.
You know, that answers a lot of questions to a lot of people.
I think that was a big part of why we won with such a resounding win and mandate in the popular vote, because Americans understand that's who you want leading them.
Sorry, I probably shouldn't have mentioned the birthday.
Now I'm getting a lot of happy belated birthdays.
Yeah, New Year's Eve is my birthday, so it's sort of a good one.
It was actually a better one when you were a kid, because there was always a party.
Now it's like...
Everyone feels obligated to go out, so it's not really the same thing, but it was a fun night.
I had a good time.
Let's see.
Let's reassure the president will remain safe.
I'm praying for him.
I'm so worried the crazies will try again.
That's MCM. Thank you.
I appreciate that.
I imagine they will.
Uh, Iran and some of the world's biggest terrorists are, you know, actively trying to make sure you're not alive.
Uh, I think that's probably a solid mandate in and of itself, but, uh, also not a great swing thought to have to think about all the time.
So, we'll see.
Uh, Dal76, is there a viable path to delay Trump's inauguration?
What's the likelihood?
Uh, I, you know, listen, I think This was enough of a mandate.
It would just, you know, sort of reconfirm everything we know about the Democrat Party.
I don't ever expect them not to do everything in their arsenal, but this one may have been too big a blowout to do that.
If it was closer and we still won, you know, maybe they try to play some sort of games.
But I imagine a lot of those plans have probably gone by the wayside, but we will see very shortly.
We'll see, I guess, on January 6th.
So let's see.
Bloomberg, the Biden-Harris administration's new oil regulatory committee.
Yep.
Smiley, NSB, I discussed that sort of in the opening monologue, all the stuff that Biden's doing to try to make it harder for us to drill, baby, drill, make it harder for us to have energy independence, make us dependent on regimes like Iran and Venezuela.
But Venezuela, we didn't even recognize.
Iran, the world's leading state sponsor of terror.
You know, Let's not do it here.
I mean, that's Joe Biden's parting gift, other than, you know, again, the open borders and terror cells.
Truly an absolute disaster that this administration left us with.
You know, it's pretty insane.
But, you know, hopefully we get through some of that and, you know, hopefully we can undo some of this insanity.
But, you know, you and I both know it ain't Joe Biden.
This is the Democrat Party.
These are the people, the powers that be in the Democrat Party that want to do these things.
Joe Biden's just the puppet that they'll sign these things.
Like, no one actually thinks that Joe Biden's in this kind of control, I don't think.
I mean, and if they do, they're not very smart.
But, you Will your father consider treason for some of these bastards?
I think his revenge is going to be the success of America.
Getting rid of this insanity, getting rid of wokeism, getting rid of the nonsense.
I don't know that you'd get any of these things through.
To me, some of it's clearly treason, but I think our revenge is going to be focused around doing what's great for our country.
So that's a big one.
Jen Hayes won just an American flag.
That's exactly right.
That's why we're doing it.
You know, it'd be easier to not do these things, but at this point, we have no choice.
We have to save our country.
We have to save Western civilization.
We have to leave our children a country and an identity that they can recognize and be proud of.
So that's a really big one.
On J20, will it be a million or millions?
I don't know.
I hope it's a lot.
There's a big rally that day in D.C. Hopefully people show up for that and partake in this.
I think trying to make it probably less of a celebration than we did even in 16 and more of a, hey, we're doing this, but now it's time to actually get to work.
Don Jr., can you interview Elon Musk?
It would be great.
I'd love to have Elon.
I've gotten to know him during the transition process.
Just, you know, incredible, brilliant mind.
You know, man, if America had 20 Elons, no one would be able to touch us.
So that's really important.
But yeah, maybe I'll have to get him on the show sometime.
Right now, I'd rather him focus on Doge and exposing the insanity.
It's in our God-fearing American 249. Do you feel our military has been compromised?
You know, I think our military leadership certainly has been.
I think they function, you know, not for what's good for our military or winning wars, but so they can have a good off-ramp on a board seat at Raytheon, so they push it into wars we're not going to win and just going to drain our coffers, you know, buying missiles.
And that's their off-ramp, right?
I mean, I think these generals shouldn't be able to serve in these Boards, I think Congress and the people voting on these things shouldn't be able to do it because that's where the swamp gets really swampy.
It's all money that's making these decisions, not logic, not our best interests, etc.
So I think we have to do a lot to do that because DEI, the insanity has taken over the military, mostly at the upper levels.
Once you're a three-star, four-star general, it's not about being a good warfighter anymore.
It's about how well you played the political game.
That's really scary.
And that's something that we got to address.
But guys, I want to thank you guys all.
I want to talk to you very soon.
I hope you all had a very, very happy new year.
I hope 2025. You know, it finishes off a lot better than it started, but hopefully that happens once we get control on January 20th.
Don't forget, guys, like, share, subscribe.
I have a dinner I have to get to.
All was working.
This could be a good one, so I got to head out of here, but make sure you check out our incredible sponsors as well, and I will see you right here on Thursday.
Dallas 76, God bless.
The Trump family, DJT, and all those around them, keep them safe.
Appreciate it, guys.
Have a great evening and I will see you on Thursday.
