Just on those lines, what is the Taliban?
Are they now our frenemy?
Are they our adversary?
Are they our enemy?
What are they?
Well, it's hard to put a label on it, in part because we have yet to see what they are going to be now that they are in physical control of Afghanistan.
Are they a frenemy?
Are you a serious individual?
I'm Sebastian Gawker, this is America First.
Let me answer that question for you, Mr. Jake Sullivan, National Security Advisor to the man who bears the title President of the United States.
They are our deadliest enemy.
They are Islamic fundamentalists who gave safe harbour to Osama bin Laden when he planned the September the 11th attacks against the United States, the largest mass casualty event on US soil in modern history.
The Soviet Union did not achieve what bin Laden achieved with the assistance of the Taliban.
These are individuals who believe in the fundamental Islamic code of Sharia, that all infidels, you included, Jake Sullivan, if you are a Christian, a Jew, an atheist, or even a Muslim who disagrees with them, should be subjected Or should be killed?
Should be enslaved?
Or should die?
And just in case you missed it because you were too busy drinking your soy lattes...
There is footage from Kabul of your new buddies who you're undecided upon holding a mock funeral with flag-bedecked caskets.
What kind of caskets?
What kind of flags?
Our flags.
The flags of the United States and our allies.
Flags of the UK, of France and even, just to round it out a little bit as military shorthand, the NATO flag.
To mock.
To mock, not just you, you pathetic excuse for a man.
And your boss, the senile, decrepit coward in the White House?
Or is he back on vacation?
But to mock, to disrespect our dead.
The warfighters, more than 2,000 of whom, died in that benighted, accursed hellhole that is Afghanistan.
The warfighters
13 of whom died in Kabul under quote-unquote Taliban control because you advised, yes you, because you're the national security advisor, advised your boss we didn't need Bagram airport, we didn't need an airfield that's safe outside of Kabul with two runways and more acreage than any other airbase in the whole theater.
We'll go to The airport in the middle of Kabul surrounded by four million people and we'll have the Taliban secure it.
The real caskets that came home to Dover Air Force Base in our flag.
That sincere transmission of their remains during which what happened Your decrepit husk of a boss looked at his watch.
A solemn ceremony during which he had verbal diarrhea as he spoke to the mothers, the fathers, the widows of the marines, the corpsmen, the staff sergeant, killed, blown up by, oh, Frenemies?
And he bloviated about his dead son who died of brain cancer?
As if that made him a hero?
As if that made him a gold star father simply because his son had served in theatre but then died of natural causes?
He spoke about his son, not the 13 men and women who died needlessly.
Because of his decisions that you advised him to take.
And you dare, you dare to stand there on cable television and tell us, we don't know who the Taliban are.
We are days away, eight days away from the 20th anniversary Of September the 11th.
And you, you pathetic excuse of a nobody, have made us more dangerous than we have ever been in those 20 years.
The Taliban were a backward, unsophisticated group of yokels 20 years ago.
Now they have $80 billion worth of equipment.
They're actually flying our Blackhawks.
Oh, they won't be able to use them.
There's no need to disable them.
Not that transporting them to China or Russia for reverse engineering isn't a threat.
And they're flying them right now.
Right now.
I wonder who's helping them do that.
Somebody else who you don't know?
Whether they're our enemy or not?
Let's ask an Afghan what he thinks.
Somebody who worked for us as an interpreter about how you are doing and what he thinks of America under Biden.
Cut six.
I have been in dire contact in this situation, hopelessness, and I've been reaching out to our congressional delegation and senator's office, but there's no way yet, because we are hoping things get better, but it's not.
And the borders are closed right now, and the embassies are closed.
They cannot get anywhere, because if they go outside, they will get...
Exposed to outside threats.
They're still waiting to see if they can find a light Resource to get out and I'm working my my best here as well to see if I can get them out If not the US because they made a promise and they not kept it They made.
We made a promise.
And we didn't keep it.
And it wasn't some successful evacuation.
God bless Jim Carafano.
What has he just tweeted?
I've reposted it immediately.
Very simple.
As a former colonel in the US Army, he knows the difference.
Afghanistan was a retreat, not a withdrawal.
Why?
Because it was done while the US was in contact with the enemy.
Our men and women had been killed, had been blown up.
That's contact with the enemy.
And we left.
That's a retreat, not a withdrawal.
And stunningly, stunningly, just breaking news, just in case you want to understand just how much they hate you from Reuters.
The United States has now made a commitment to help build the border between Afghanistan and the Central Asian Republic of Tajikistan into which Afghan refugees are flooding.
Think of that!
Just stop for a second!
Stop the world!
You, dear listener, our friends, are helping to pay to secure the border between the Taliban's controlled Afghanistan and Tajikistan to stop millions of refugees from escaping the Taliban.
The Jake Sullivan doesn't know whether they're nice guys or not, but they've kept our southern border open.
You, you are paying!
To build a border between Tajikistan and Afghanistan to stop illegals.
But not on the Mexico-US border.
This is truly treason.
I'm Sebastian Gorka, former strategist to President Trump, member of the National Security Education Board, and this is America First.
Hey, Boyle said he's connected.
He's not hearing anything.
Okay, yeah, I know.
I'm pulling it up now.
Alright, cool.
Yeah, he's on two, so I'll pull up two.
What's he connected to?
Rex of Cob.
Yeah, 2 is the one that we were usually doing.
He's not on here.
Okay, I was just on 3.
I tell you, my coffee tastes good from our America First mugs.
Look at that mug.
Is it ceramic or what's it made of?
Of course it's ceramic.
What do you think it is?
It's made in America!
With the eagle on the bottom.
Bottoms up and then you get shoved off.
Oh, can you pick up three?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
America first, please.
No, I know.
I know.
Mikes are on.
Thank you.
Worried.
Can we put him up a bit?
Yeah, he's all the way up.
You're a little quieter on our end.
Can you track it up a bit on the output?
By the way, I'm not hearing his audio over here on the TriCaster.
Yeah, it wasn't, uh, it wasn't sending.
How's that?
Is that any better?
Yes, we hear you.
I hear you now on my end.
Yeah, as much as you can go up, because you're all the way up on our board.
Okay, I think that's as high as it goes, so.
Okay.
I have it turned all the way, so.
Alright, I'll make sure you're all the way up.
First hold, please.
What was your one to say?
55 seconds.
Okay.
Yeah, we have nothing here.
Other than this.
This is a B segment.
Yeah, I just wanted to make sure we didn't have any.
Other stuff.
Looks good.
I've got this queued up ready to go.
We've got... Come in with cut 8.
Cut 8.
Copy that.
Protestors.
Standing by.
Standing by.
Coming in with cut 8.
Any liners, John, or no?
I'm gonna go with a Deep Voice Dave.
Okay, copy that.
All right.
Making sense out of today's news, here's Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Let's go.
Ladies, and I use that word loosely, because I don't want to misgender them.
That would be awful, wouldn't it?
Protesting the Texas bill that is a law.
It is incredible because the Supreme Court refused to block it in a 5-4 vote.
As we open this show, one of our colleagues very excitedly sent us the text message that he was on a conference call with President Trump talking life, culture of life issues, and the President was very excited about the news coming out of the Supreme Court.
Let's talk to somebody who had a long discussion with my former boss.
He is the Washington political editor for the influential, the most influential conservative website out there.
It is Breitbart.com, and he's Matt Boyle.
Matt, welcome back to America First.
Dr. Gorka, always a pleasure to be here.
Thanks for having me.
All right, let me just take a sip first.
This is my first coffee from our new America First mugs, made in America, and it tastes delightful.
I love that.
We should make everything in America, don't you think?
We should, and every product on our website is made in America from the coolest hoodies that we have with the stars and stripes inside the hood.
Guys, check it out.
America First products at SebGorkerStore.com.
Matt can choose whatever he wants because he's been such a stalwart supporter of the site.
Go to SebGorkerStore.com, check it out, Matt, and tell us what you want.
In the meantime, let's talk about these amazing exclusive interviews that you have published with President Trump.
I love...
Explain the headline.
When you sent this to me today, I just said, wow, what a killer headline.
Exclusive Donald Trump quote, the only reason you have a Republican Party is because the Democrats have horrible policies.
Talk to us about your meeting with President Trump.
Yeah, well, look, I spent close to two hours.
And it's cognitive issues.
So we'll just say there's a lot coming out on that one.
He has a lot to say more about Afghanistan and all sorts of other friends.
But this particular story that you're talking about, we put out earlier this week.
It's President Trump talking about the establishment Republicans.
He rips into Lindsey Graham, who's been voting to approve all these leftist Democrat appointed judges to the federal judiciary.
By the way, when we're seeing the U.S. Supreme Court do a move like we saw last night with this whole Texas abortion law, this is why judges are so important in what President Trump did on this.
And, in fact, the last time I talked to President Trump before this one was in the Oval Office in August last year while he was still president.
And that was one of the big things.
He gave me a card that laid out how many judges he had gotten through, Supreme Court justices.
And this was before, of course, Amy Coney Barrett.
So President Trump getting three justices on the Supreme Court, huge deal, but also all these other judges that they confirmed up and down the federal judiciary.
Now Lindsey Graham and the Republican establishment are totally selling out to the Democrats on this.
So President Trump was in total disbelief and shock that Lindsey Graham, who goes on Hannity every night, By the way, he refuses to go on Tucker Carlson's show.
If Lindsey Graham was a real conservative, he'd go on Tucker Carlson's show.
I saw it and I immediately congratulated Tucker.
I texted him today.
The monologue in which he utterly eviscerated Lindsey Graham was superb.
With video footage over the last 20 years about how this man has flip-flopped and promised so much and delivered nothing.
This is an old conversation for us, Matt.
We'll talk about your interview with the President in a moment.
But this, for me, is the biggest obstacle.
The left's going to be the left.
The Democrat Party has become the most radical it has ever been since it created the KKK.
But the GOP just hasn't learned the significance of what happened in 2016.
And it sounds like, to me, President Trump agrees with that assessment.
Yeah, look, and that's the point, is that President Trump was zoning in on all these establishment Republicans, whether it be Lindsey Graham, he had a lot to say about him, he had a lot to say about Mitch McConnell, Mitt Romney, he calls them Little Ben Sass, right, like Little Ben Sass, all these other characters, so I highly encourage people to go read it, but here's the point, is that the big picture is, these establishment Republicans, whether it's those ones or other ones in the House, or governors out there, certain ones,
They don't understand that we are in a war here with this radical left that you speak of there for what kind of a country we want to have.
This is a culture war.
It's a political war.
There are two visions and only one will succeed.
Either our vision or their vision.
There is no compromise with people like this.
These Republicans need to start acting like it.
Right, like President Trump gets it.
And by the way, and that was the other thing, President Trump did praise a lot of Republicans during this interview, too.
He spoke very highly of Senator Hawley, of Senator Hagerty, and several other Republicans around the country, but those two in particular he was very pleased with.
But all I'm saying is that there are a lot of Republicans who do get it, who do understand that we're in a war, and they are fighting it.
But the problem is these establishment Republicans don't seem to get it.
They need to wake the hell up and realize that if the left wins, they're going to crush us all.
And when a Mitch McConnell goes on the record in the last 24 hours to say that Biden will not be impeached because of Afghanistan, Then we have real problems, Matt.
Well, look, here's the thing.
Realistically, I get it.
McConnell's technically telling the truth there in that you don't have the votes for him.
You don't help him by saying it.
Right.
There's no reason to rush out there and defend him in the press, right?
Beat the crap out of him.
Say he should resign.
But don't literally go out and do Biden's defense work for him.
Let the White House do that.
That's their job, not the Republicans' job.
The Republicans' job right now is to hold this administration accountable And to offer a real serious alternative and to get back to the majorities and get President Trump, or if he runs again in 2024, back in the White House.
And if he doesn't, get another Republican like him into the White House.
That's the Republicans' job right now.
The Republicans' job is to win this war.
Their job is not to go out there and do Joe Biden's public relations work for him.
And you're 100% right about that.
Now, technically, at the same time, they don't have the votes for impeachment.
We would face the same problem the Democrats did when they were coming after Trump.
Didn't stop them!
Didn't stop them, but you need 67 votes.
So here's the thing, right?
If we're going to go through the impeachment process, you want to have the votes to do it.
So what we want to do is we want to be going out there and forcing the Democrats to break with Biden as much as possible.
And then we don't want to cause a backlash.
I think that their impeachments backlashed against them in the election, right?
Like, I do think that President Trump got You know, 11 million more votes in large part because of the fact that he was under siege all the time by the left.
And that's another thing we talked about.
There'll be more on that stuff that comes out later in the week.
Are you seeing on that question of peeling off Democrats, because I'm not seeing anything, you know, even AOC's defending Biden's decision to surrender Kabul.
Are you seeing any signs of Democrats going wobbly on Biden?
There are a few.
There definitely are a few.
And I know that the Democrats in battleground districts in the House races and Senate races out there next year are having a real tough time now that they've seen what happened in Kabul with that terrorist attack, that horrible terrorist attack last Thursday.
So, and they've seen just how badly Joe Biden botched the handling of this.
So, Democrats are having a tough time defending him.
There's no doubt about that.
What Republicans need to do is really bring the heat to them.
They need to force them on the record.
By the way, there's an ongoing debate right now in Congress, in the House, on the NDAA.
It was a big fight happening last night and there were a couple of Republicans who actually put forward amendments to hold the Chinese Communist Party accountable, to hold the President accountable on Afghanistan, etc.
And it was the Republican establishment, again, that undercut it all.
So there were six Republicans last night who voted, and we did a big story about this on Breitbart.
I'll get it to you, Dr. Gorka.
That literally saved the Chinese Communist Party hosting the Olympics next year.
Unbelievable.
We're going to talk about that on the break on our Rumble channel.
Check it out.
Rumble.com slash Seb Gorka.
Come back with the irrepressible Matt Boyle in a moment.
Oh, that's...
So explain what that story to me.
Send it to me, but explain the story.
Yeah, so Michael Waltz from Florida offered an amendment in the NDAA debate that would have cut corporations that fund the International Olympic Committee off from selling their products on military installations like military bases, Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, etc.
until such time as the International Olympic Committee formally moved the 2022 Winter Olympics out of China, where they're hosting them in Beijing right now, to another country.
Six Republicans joined most of the Democrats in opposing the amendment.
One Democrat actually voted for it.
Two other Democrats had voted for it and then they changed their vote after the vote to vote no.
And then if those six Republicans that voted no voted yes on the amendment and those two Democrats didn't change their vote, we would have actually got that into the NDAA and it would have made it into federal law.
So who were the Republicans?
Who were the six?
The six Republicans are... I have them in the story.
Hold on.
They are... Let me get their name.
It's further down in the article.
They are...
Scott, Austin Scott from Georgia, Moore from Utah, Doug Lamborn from Colorado, Vicki Hartzler from Missouri, Rob Whitman from Virginia, and Mike Turner from Ohio.
Even Liz Cheney voted the right way on this one.
Even Liz Cheney voted the right way on this one.
That's despicable.
Yep.
Just totally despicable.
And by the way, Austin Scott from Georgia, of all places, I mean, they're going through their whole battle with Woka Cola over the election.
Oh, I like that.
Woka Cola.
I like that.
Woka Cola.
Yeah.
So, I don't know.
I know plenty of people that will never drink Woka Cola again after what they did to Georgia.
That's where their headquarters is, by the way.
It's in Atlanta.
Atlanta, right.
So, was the boss in a good mood?
He was in great mood.
Yeah, so very fired up.
I mean a lot of things a lot of stuff Yeah, literally it was more than a week ago now.
It was eight days ago that we did the interview, but it's just taken me so long to get through all the material, so it's so much.
And so the next one is going to be about?
The next one just went up.
I texted it to you.
Oh, it already has?
Yep.
So I texted you both the China story I was telling you about and the latest Trump one.
Oh, great.
There's something wrong with Joe.
All right, I'm reposting this right now.
There's something wrong with Joe.
It's incredible how they just... Nobody's talking out against him from the Democrats.
One minute.
Um, can you come in with, uh... Saki, cut 11.
Actually, do I have something now?
I have my pillow.
Can we get my pillow?
And we've got Relief Actor here.
Okay.
Yeah, come in with Saki anyway.
Coming in with cut 11.
Alright, I'm gonna play American Financing, disclaimer.
Copy.
Okay.
Alright, 30 seconds, standby.
Standing by. Standing

He believes that it's a woman's right, it's a woman's body, and it's her choice.
He believes that it's up to a woman to make those decisions, and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor.
I know you've never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant.
Oh, it's because you can't have... Hey, hang on a second!
Men can be pregnant!
Ooh, Saki!
Ooh, transphobe!
We got you there!
Can you put that up there?
Let's put a video up there of Saki the transphobe using that card.
That is too good.
How dare she say a man can't have a baby!
Aren't you shocked, Matt Boyle?
Look, the outrage is unbelievable.
I mean, the entire left should be coming after her for her...
I don't know.
What is it?
Transphobic?
Or what phobic it is?
Transphobia.
No, but Jen Psaki's clearly off message, right?
Like, so... Oh, dear.
She's safe.
I guess they... Here's what this demonstrates, Dr. Gorka.
They lie so much they can't keep their lies straight.
Yes.
It's... Yes.
Exactly.
Bingo.
You got it.
And they're the left, so, you know...
The truth is irrelevant.
We're talking to Matt Boyle.

So he just dropped it.
I haven't even read it because I trust the man so much.
And this is live radio.
He has the third portion of his long interview with President Trump.
So what's the gist of this latest thing?
It has to do with his successor, does it not, Matt?
Yeah, so it has a lot to do with Joe Biden.
So I actually asked President Trump if he runs again in 2024, which a lot of people think that he will, and I happen to think that he's very likely to run again in 2024.
I asked him, would he rather face Joe Biden or Kamala Harris.
And this is in the middle of this whole Afghanistan crisis, and we're seeing Biden's failures on display for the world.
And he said he didn't want to predict too far out in the future, but he also said that he doesn't know if Biden's going to make it that far because he says there's something wrong with him.
There's a lot of other stuff in this interview.
I also asked President Trump what he thought about Kamala Harris absconding off to Asia and Vietnam in the middle of all this.
Usually, by the way, Dr. Gorga, okay, I get it.
Vice presidents travel around the world.
They meet with other government leaders on behalf of the president.
But in the middle of a crisis like we saw in the last several weeks here in Afghanistan, normally a competent vice president would call off their foreign travel And stand by the president's side and help the president, right?
And I think that any, you know, Republican or Democrat, it's not supposed to be a partisan thing.
I mean, vice presidents are supposed to help their boss, right?
They're supposed to help the president.
And Kamala Harris, you know, jetted on out of town over to Vietnam and Singapore, where she was for like a whole week, and then she finally shows back up here.
You know, once things are smoothing out a little bit, but I mean, still not really.
She still hasn't really appeared in public with Joe Biden on this, right?
Like, she hasn't made any public remarks about what's going on in Afghanistan or anything.
So I asked President Trump what he thought about Kamala Harris doing that.
He says, you know what?
She seemed to want to get away, huh?
Who can blame her, right?
And he's kind of like, who can blame her, right?
Biden's such a disaster, even she doesn't want to stand by herself.
Let me ask you about her.
But first things first, it was breaking yesterday that the president has endorsed Sean Parnell, a war veteran from Afghanistan.
He's going to be with us for the whole last hour of the show.
You do not want to miss it.
An in-depth discussion with Sean Parnell running for the Senate from Pennsylvania, just endorsed by President Trump.
We've got a minute left, and I'm curious, Matt, If they get rid of him, if they do the 25th amendment or he quote-unquote resigns and she takes over, what is her relationship with the Democrat machine?
She's not exactly flavor of the month, is Kamala?
No, look, I think Kamala Harris would have a really tough time of things if she were somehow put in there.
Look, she couldn't even make it through the Democrat primary.
She didn't even make it to election day in Iowa.
She dropped out.
People don't really support her that much in the base out there.
It's all fake and it's all donor class and Silicon Valley.
You know, Wall Street money and so on and so forth.
And it's all this like publicly built perception.
But there's no substance behind her at all.
And it's all fake.
And I think she would have a real tough time as president if she ever got there.
That's why they're, I think, going to try to save Biden for as long as they can.
and ride that dead horse as long as they can before they go to the next dead horse.
But, like, look, the thing is, long term, the Democrats are in serious trouble, and we're seeing this in the polling data repeatedly.
I think that people are in for a rude awakening next year in the midterm elections and then beyond that.
Time for us to take you out of the House and the Senate.
And then the White House with our former boss, President Trump, Ruiz.
Read the piece, There's Something Wrong With Joe.
I've just posted Matt's interview with President Trump on our Twitter and our Facebook pages.
Thank you, Matt.

Right.
Is he still on?
Let's check.
Nope.
It's off.
All right.
Something funny I saw yesterday was with the whole, you know, young women dealing with the news about the Supreme Court and the abortion stuff is that I kept seeing things that were, oh, you know, abortion, just because abortion is restricted doesn't mean there'd be less abortion.
It just means less safe abortion.
I said, huh, if only you had the same thought process when you thought about guns and banning guns.
Yes, very good, very good.
It's crazy.
I sort of just looked at it.
Well, it's like the mantra back in 72 or whatever it was that we're only doing Roe v. Wade so abortions can be safe, legal, and rare.
Well, did you see the video of the Idiots in the Mask?
There wasn't My Body, My Choice anymore.
Is that the new chant?
What were they saying?
No bans on My Body or something?
Yeah, have they removed the My Body, My Choice because of the Vaxton?
Oh, that's interesting.
Yeah.
That's why I put it on there.
That's interesting.
Absolutely.
But isn't that what the t-shirts said?
What did the t-shirts say?
They're the old ones.
They're the old ones.
They didn't have time to print new ones.
They didn't have time to change the t-shirts.
Let me check the t-shirts.
But yeah, that's... Just watching that video, I had my own thoughts.
I just, I... Oh my gosh, that video was scary.
I couldn't help but think of something that Milo said way back in the day.
That feminism just makes women ugly.
It's just like, you look at the ones with the purple hair... Where is Milo?
He's kind of disappeared.
He just, I think YouTube just banned him actually, which I'm surprised they... I thought they banned him years ago, didn't they?
He was still on YouTube for a long time.
He was banned from Twitter way back in the day.
But he was still on YouTube doing a show and then they recently banned him from YouTube.
Where is Ten from, Geoff?
He's on the phone.
America First, what's your name?
Did you ask me something?
Where's 10 from?
Is that yesterday?
No, it's today.
He's at the virtual roundtable discussion.
And he just kind of loses it?
Yeah, he stutters a bunch, then he does a verse, a Catholic verse, or he says, my Catholic, and then he's just like, ah, my mind's going blank.
What the hell's going on here?
Oh my God!
He's saying the quiet part out loud.
You know the song, they put the chair in the air?
I'm going to tee that up, guys.
All right, American Financing here, and Relief Factor.
All right, what are you going to say?
All right.
All right, standing by.
Seconds, stand by.
Standing by.
Hi, this is President Trump and Sebastian is really this is President Trump and Sebastian is really a friend of mine.

We have one line left open.
Let's get to as many of them as we can.
But first, a cut from today from the man who thinks he's the president.
This is at some virtual event where you can see just how mentally incompetent this man is.
Cut 10.
And so, I asked if that psalm, that hymn in the Catholic Church, and it says, May he lift you up on eagles' wings, and bear you on the breath of dawn, and let the light shine upon you, etc., and hold you in the palm of his hand.
And they played, and my mind's going blank now, what's the song that is played where everybody is on the chair, everybody, you know, I can't remember it, anyway.
And that's the song that was played.
So, you know, I don't know what the hell's going on here.
Clearly you don't.
What's the song when everybody's standing on the chairs?
That man can start a nuclear war.
You do understand that, right?
That man has a military aide who is always within 30 feet of him with the nuclear football.
And he can initiate nuclear war.
But it's the song with everybody standing on the chairs.
Yeah.
80 million votes.
Right.
Let's go to your calls.
Let's go to Bob, Line 1, Florida.
Welcome aboard, Bob.
Welcome, Dr. Gorka.
What nobody's talking about is that the President committed a criminal offense giving the billions of military equipment to the Taliban.
That's called aiding and abetting the enemy.
Well, you know what the story is, you know the excuses, and a lot of people are actually talking about it, Bob, especially on Conservative Talk Radio.
The fact is we didn't give it directly to the Taliban.
You bought it.
Hang on, Bob, let me finish my sentence.
Let me finish.
Hang on, Bob, Bob, Bob, my turn now.
It's called a conversation.
Just hang on.
You, Bob, I, Sebastian, bought it for the ANSF, the Afghan National Security Forces.
That was meant to be part of the federal government's capacity to fight people like the Taliban, ISIS and Al-Qaeda.
What happened was...
The government that we pumped 60 million dollars into for the last 20 years every single day, yes I'll say it again in case you missed it, 60 million dollars every day for 20 years collapsed in nine days and that's how the Taliban got the material.
So it's not, you know, we didn't ship American weapons to the Taliban, the Taliban took it from a bunch of Afghans who just deserted it.
Got it, Bob?
Well, I agree that the Taliban got it from the Afghans, but some of that was deliberately left by the military because of the incompetence and how the removal of the military forces was accomplished but some of that was deliberately left by the military because of the You know, the removal of the military forces was accomplished by, you know, our generals.
Yeah, I mean, look, let's be clear here.
That was a sovereign nation.
It didn't function as a sovereign nation, but by law, that was the government of Afghanistan.
And we could have, if we had any balls, then Milley, who's a coward, would have said, I don't care whether the Afghans control it.
We bought that equipment.
I want every piece of hardware blown up with a hand grenade.
Hey Dr. G, I wish we had better subjects to discuss.
a coward.
Thank you, Bob.
Let's go to J.R. Columbus, Ohio, line two.
Welcome back, J.R.
Hey, Dr. G.
I wish we had better subjects to discuss.
So here's my question or point or whatever.
I have a 19- Not whatever, not whatever.
Here is my weighted contribution to the discussion.
How's that?
Yes sir, roger that.
So I have a 19 year old son that's like the poster child for military and he looked very very hard.
You mean he's a little girl with lesbian mothers?
Yes, and he's also very woke.
Sorry, sorry, I had to do that.
So he's the poster child for the military as it should be.
Carry on.
Yes.
So So anyway, I thought to myself when I watched that, that very somber and sad moment at Dover with those 13 families watching their sons removed from a humongous airplane.
I thought to myself, if that would have been my son and Joe would have walked up to me to tell me his condolences, I would have first told him I'm ashamed and then turned my back.
And I don't know how those people shook his hand.
I really don't.
I don't know if they did.
I didn't see the footage of handshaking, but I completely agree with you.
I mean, I don't know if I could have controlled myself.
If I'd lost a loved one, a family member, and that man deigned to be there who made those deaths possible, I don't know what I would have done.
One of the sisters Wow.
of the Marines killed, shouted allegedly at Biden, told him to go to hell for his cowardice.
I think that's the least that I would have done as the man looked at his watch and then talked about Beau Biden as if he is a gold star father as well.
So yeah, JR, let's just pray.
Let Let every single one of you, the three million who listen to the show, whoever's catching us on video, whether it's a replay or you're live streaming it, please, please, tonight and tomorrow morning, when you say your prayers, say a prayer for the families who lost a loved one in that attack to have the Lord give them strength.
Thank you, JR.

President Trump, colon, there's something wrong with Joe.
I like my new eagle.
Look at that.
Look at that golden eagle.
How cool is that?
Very cool.
I bought that in a little thrift store in New Hampshire.
Hand-carved!
Hand-carved!
Looks like it's about to... I look at it thinking it's about to knock Thomas Jefferson off the shelf, and I know Geoff would really like that.
You're not a fan of Tommy?
You don't remember the story?
Oh yes, that's right, your relatives.
The Harbaugh-Jefferson feud.
John Jr.
doesn't know this story.
I do not know that story.
Ah, the history of the team.
We'll get to that at some point.
I lost it at that Joe Biden cut because it just I mean, that typified everything.
You can see the short circuits happening.
And then you said, oh, he's got the nuclear football.
I love how he's looking off to the side expecting something.
Guys, we've got radio.
Yep, we've got radio in 12 seconds.
So I'll mute all the mics here.

Thank you, Sebastian Gorka.
I'm a little upset with you at the moment for coming down a little too tough on Bob, the previous caller, two callers back.
And, you know, Bob's point, his point about the letdown by Millie and Plinkett and Austin, you know, and making any excuses for what happened, what has and making any excuses for what happened, what has happened in the past.
You think I'm making excuses for the Biden administration, then you don't listen to this show.
Goodbye, Michael.
Bye-bye.
Let's go to Antoinette, our buddy in California, line three.
Hi, Dr. G. That guy was out to lunch.
I'm glad you hung up on the idiot.
Dr. G., a group of us, we have been praying.
It's been such a tough last couple weeks.
I mean, last Thursday we were totally in tears with that guy.
San Diego and Sacramento.
I know, it's incredible.
We're going to give two good positive things.
Please, please tell us.
Number one, tomorrow, Friday, at our usual spot, we are sharing our corner with the Recall And supporting Larry Elder.
So you're going to be sharing the PCH and MacArthur Boulevard, your voice for the voiceless, for the unborn, with those standing for the recall.
That's super exciting.
Four o'clock local time?
4.30, sir.
Until 6.30.
Excellent.
What's your second piece?
I love the news.
Carry on.
Nina, we have another young girl we've helped and said prayers for and she got in contact with one of our doctors to help her.
So that's even amazing with the new Texas law that happened yesterday.
Aren't you excited about the Texas news?
Yes, a little.
Not understanding a couple of things about it, but overall, yes, sir.
We are very excited and very happy.
Well, we're going to get Father Frank Pavone on to explain all of it and how this could be the first domino in the dominoes that fall to make Roe v. Wade ancient history.
And to protect the most vulnerable in our society.
God bless you, Antoinette.
All the ladies who are there every Friday, 4.30, PCH and MacArthur Boulevard.
A Voice for the Voiceless.
And now, rallying to recall Nancy Pelosi's nephew, Gruesome Newsom.
God bless all of you, and may the Lord keep you safe.

you.
Thank you.
I give my word with all of my heart.
I believe this is the right decision.
I give you my word with all of my heart.
I believe this is the right decision, a wise decision, and the best decision for America.
Really?
We'll see about that.
The best compliment I can pay her in front of millions of listeners and viewers is that She's not a politician.
She just happens to be the Congresswoman for the 22nd District of New York, but she's a citizen first, she's an American, and she's a patriot.
Claudia Tenney!
Welcome back to America First.
Oh, thank you for the kind words.
We're just fighting the battle to protect our country and save America.
That's really all it's about, and every single American citizen needs to be doing that.
And as the mother of a proud Marine, the events of the last two weeks must hit you all the more painfully.
Talk to us, give us your first reaction to the words about this man who thinks he's the President, saying the surrender of Kabul was the right decision, it was the best decision.
You know, this is probably one of the worst decisions, military decisions made.
I'm calling it the knock-on-wood foreign policy strategy of get-off-my-lawn Grumpy Joe.
How irresponsible it is that he has become lethal to our nation.
He is a national security risk.
His lack of heart, his lack of any kind of empathy for what's happened, and to sit there and say that it was a success when we lost 13 service members And hundreds of others last week in a needless situation where our Marines were literally put in a fishbowl and shot at without any resources.
And Joe Biden says, you know, we got 90 percent out.
That's good enough.
Well, you know what's not good enough?
Every American and every ally and person that was promised something from our country for their service to us should have been had safe passage.
And they're still in harm's way there.
And I just want to share with you one tragic story that I heard about yesterday.
There was a young boy whose family was waiting to get their visa and their safe passage to be able to leave Afghanistan.
This is yesterday after Biden's, you know, surrender and withdrawal from Afghanistan.
He was killed and his family was waiting in line.
And Secretary Blinken's response was, we're very sorry, but we've had a backlog.
A backlog on a date that was arbitrary.
And the original date was September 11th set by Joe Biden.
And he received so much backlash, and I dare say in a bipartisan way, Democrats and Republicans, because it dishonored that killing and murder of innocent Americans on September 11th and to pull out and withdraw and surrender on the anniversary of 9-11 was a complete disgrace.
So Joe Biden arbitrarily moved that date to August 31st.
And guess what?
The Taliban decided to put their red line on that date.
And Joe Biden stuck to that date.
So we have people who are continuing to die and are in harm's way in Afghanistan because of Joe Biden.
We have American citizens, green card holders, special immigrant visa holders trapped in Afghanistan with no air route out.
We've got independent contractors, people we're working with across the nation who are so, you know, such great patriots, so philanthropic that they're actually helping people.
across the nation who are so, you know, such great patriots, so philanthropic that they're actually helping people, not Joe Biden, not our U.S. government, who's responsible, but these independent contractors are trying to find roadways and passage out of Afghanistan.
It's a tragedy of epic proportions.
So people understand what the Congresswoman is talking about.
Today, the State Department, the White House has said, maybe there's, you know, a hundred Americans stuck in Afghanistan.
That is a lie.
That is a bald-faced lie.
My friend, a retired colonel, has at least five aircraft in Afghanistan with 82 U.S. citizens trapped there who are not being allowed to fly out by the Taliban, who are being refused landing rights because the State Department is telling neighboring states who are being refused landing rights because the State Department is telling neighboring states not to allow U.S. planes with That's just one person trying to save 82 Americans.
This is a lie.
Now, Congresswoman Tenney, you said something as we were prepping for this show that's fascinating, that really should be grounds for impeachment, if nothing else.
What is Section 1215 and how does it fit into the events of the last 14 days?
Yeah, this is really critically important and I have been calling for Joe Biden's resignation.
Ever since the moment where he said that, he told George Stephanopoulos that, oh, you know, those people falling from planes, that was four or five days ago.
That was so callous, and it was so unacceptable, an answer from our Commander-in-Chief, that I started, as each day went on and I could see the national security risk and the lethality and the dangerousness of Joe Biden and his callous policies, I started calling for impeachment.
And under Section 1215, there is actually a section passed last year in the National Defense Authorization Act, which is coming up now.
This was actually championed by none other than Congresswoman Liz Cheney.
And this called on limitation on the use of funds to reduce deployment in Afghanistan specifically, and made sure that we could not reduce our troops below 4,000 and take our deployment out when we had an ongoing counterterrorism mission.
There was any risk to United States personnel in Afghanistan and a risk that expansion of existing or formation of international terrorist safe havens could occur in Afghanistan.
And it was an obligation of the Secretary of Defense and the President to go to Congress, to key committees of jurisdiction, the Armed Services Committee, the Foreign Affairs Committee, and the Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, to go to these committees and ask for permission for a drawdown.
They gave their own waiver.
They executed a waiver claiming they didn't have to report to Congress because it was an important national security interest of the United States.
This is the same president who has been giving this information, talking about American strategy.
Again, his, you know, knock on wood strategy, which is so reckless and dangerous.
He's been talking about that with the former president of Afghanistan, and those conversations are being revealed in phone calls.
He can talk to the former president of Afghanistan, but not come to the U.S.
Congress, where we have the oversight function over the executives.
And this, to me alone, is an impeachable offense.
So let me just be clear here.
So law requires, the last National Defense Authorization Act requires that to lessen our troop engagement, especially to pull out all forces First, it can only be done if the Congress, the relative committees are briefed.
That didn't happen, so that was illegal, the surrender of Kabul.
And then secondly, we have this issue of the phone call.
Not only was he telling the Afghan Prime Minister of his intentions, but Congresswoman Tenney, he was telling the, we have, of course it's not from an American newspaper, it's from a British one.
We have the transcripts in which he was telling Afghani not to tell the truth.
He said, whether it's true or not, don't speak of the Taliban being powerful in Afghanistan.
Surely that's a real impeachable offense, unlike the ones they accused President Trump of.
Absolutely.
This is not a political impeachment.
I argue there are political impeachments and there are constitutional impeachments.
abdication of and dereliction of duty by the commander in chief and a lot of people don't understand but what is so unique about America is that we do not have a military dictatorship we have our military command reports to our civilian government they report to the president and they report to the Congress we are like the board of directors and for the president to engage in this kind of activity outside of our rules our Constitution is blatantly unconstitutional
It is blatantly a high crime and misdemeanor.
And we need to see the entire transcript.
I've called on Nancy Pelosi to start investigations to look into the impeachment of this president for what he has done.
And I've got numerous colleagues on the Republican side who have joined me.
No Democrats so far.
They're all running interference and cover.
But where is the media?
Where is the media demanding the transcript, demanding the accountability for the actions of this president?
And also, one other thing that's really critically important.
that's a huge problem is why is big tech censoring the grieving words of a Marine Gold Star mom who lost her son tragically last week?
And yes, after a lot of pushback on social media, they allowed her words out there.
And was Jen Psaki running interference and flagging the comments that were critical of Joe Biden by this Marine mom, this poor Gold Star mom grieving, breaking all of our hearts with the loss of her son?
And was Jen Psaki flagging that, as she said?
We're flagging these things for Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
That is really concerning.
That, to me, is almost as bad.
If we could find out that the administration had anything to do with coordinating with Facebook or Instagram I'm censoring the speech of this woman who is simply exercising her First Amendment rights.
There's just so much here.
We need an impeachment investigation, and I know people are looking at it as political.
This is about the Constitution, and this is a real impeachment, not a phone call, not somebody having an affair, not the kind of stuff that's been nonsense from both parties, quite honestly, in the past.
Right.
And I really resent the fact, and I respect Mitch McConnell, but for our senator who's representing us on the Senate side to make the comment that we don't have the vote, so we're not going to consider impeachment.
Well, the procedure is this.
We do the investigation.
We're the grand jury.
He needs to wait and see what we send him.
He doesn't.
He doesn't get to decide what votes you may have in the future.
Follow this lady, claudiaforcongress.com and at Claudia Tenney.
God bless you for fighting for the truth.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First.
This is America First.
This is America First.
This is America First.
Mic's on.
I didn't... This is...
The authority on war.
Alexandria von Clausewitz.
Can you just... Alexandria and then V-O-N and then Clausewitz.
C-L-A-U-S-E-W-I-T-Z.
Alexandria von Clausewitz explains war to Americans.
That's fabulous.
Wow!
That was unreal.
When did she post that?
Uh, either last night or today.
Okay.
General Ocasio-Cortez.
General, yes.
General.
All right.
All right, I'm gonna use that.
Okay.
And then I'm probably gonna do, um, I'll go to calls, but I'm gonna do the amazing, um, Carrie Prejean.
Okay, at 20 seconds, do you want me to come in with a collar drop?
Yes!
All right, gotcha.
Okay.
We'll do it, and then you're cuing up that cut, right?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Awesome.
The AOC cut.
All right, new mics.
He is smart.
He is tough.
He's like an encyclopedia that can kick your butt.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka!
Is that Ray from Livermore?
We might have to talk to him momentarily because he's on the line.
I love that liner.
Thank you, John Jr.
But first, I would like to defer.
I mean, I know we have Victor Davis Hanson regularly on the show.
I know I've only spent, uh, how old am I?
51.
So I joined the military when I was 19 in college.
So what's that?
30, 31 years.
I've only been dabbling in national security for 31 years.
I've only been a professor of irregular warfare and counterterrorism at National Defense University in D.C.
Chair of Military Theory at the Marine Corps University in Quantico, and briefed the Commandant of the Marine Corps, the CIA, the SEAL Team 6.
I apologize for who I leave out, and of course being strategist to the President, but today is the day when my eyes were opened, because Karl von Clausewitz's reborn embodiment of military thought has arrived.
Her name is AOC, and she's going to tell you what war's really about, and I wish I'd known this so long ago.
Play cut.
I don't know what the measure or expectation is of what a quote-unquote successful withdrawal is, but I hope people understand that this is what war looks like.
It is not It is neat, and it is not pretty.
It is violent.
It is brutal.
And we're out here expecting this is supposed to be a cakewalk.
I mean, this is war.
This is war?
How did I get to being this old?
And not realise that war is violent?
And that war isn't pretty?
I don't know.
Help me out.
Where's my airborne buddy, Ray from Livermore?
How did we not know that war isn't pretty?
And that war is violent, Ray?
Did you know that?
Well, that gal needs her own theme music for this show, and I suggest Frank Zappa's Valley Girl.
She did the voice!
She did that Valley Girl voice!
She's from New York!
All the way!
To the max, man!
Yeah.
And the last place I go for a military briefing is a middle schooler, and that's what she sounds like, a middle school female.
And I'm laughing, Ray, but I shouldn't, because guess what, Ray?
That garbage, that inane imbecility, and that is a word, I just made it, that could be AOC, but it might as well be Mark Milley, Ray!
Yeah.
And for Mark Milley and for that whole gang, put them all on C-130s and we'll kick their butts right out the door.
They can jump in to Bagram.
And that's why I called Dr. G.
I don't understand why we gave up that piece of land.
We have a piece of land in Cuba called Guantanamo, and it's like, if you want it, you come and get it.
Can you just stop there for a second, Ray?
I think most people don't realize.
People, you see the movie A Few Good Men.
Do you understand Guantanamo Bay is actually physically part of Cuba?
Okay?
It is actually physically attached to Cuba.
But guess what?
We own it, Ray, and we control it.
How do people not realize that?
And we could have easily kept that airbase that we built just as easily and said, if you want it, come and take it.
Yeah.
You know, in the words of Leonidas, moulin la baie.
Moulin la baie.
You got it.
Come and take it.
If you can.
All right.
Great.
Great.
Yeah.
Great thoughts.
Thank you.
It's a hard line out here.
We've got to get a better line next time.
Let's stay on this topic.
Tessa in the city of brotherly love, line two, Philadelphia.
Tessa, you're up.
Up.
Three.
Two.
One.
You had a chance.
You muffed it.
Okay, let's go to a fabulous cut.
It was sent to me yesterday by one of my followers on Facebook.
Thank you.
You know who you are.
This is a lady who was in the news.
What was it like a decade ago, Jeff?
How long ago was it?
About a decade ago, right?
About that.
Yeah.
Carrie Prejean, who was a Miss something.
She was like a state.
She was California's either Miss America or one of those.
Right, right, right.
And she was in the news back then for being outspoken on a certain issue.
Now she's a mom, wearing a Mama Bear t-shirt at a school board meeting, talking about masking children.
And this, if you're ever worried about America, When you see this, when you see a woman, you know, all 90 pounds of her stand up and do this, you realize real America is still there.
And real America is waking up.
Cut four.
My name is Carrie Oller.
You see my shirt, it says mama, and I'm a mama bear.
I know there's a lot of mama bears here tonight.
And no one's going to mess with our cups.
That's right.
Just so you know.
I'm a resident of Encinitas, born and raised San Yagen, and tonight I'm simply here to tell you to unmask our children.
We're done begging.
In fact, we're done asking for permission.
That's right.
We are going to be unmasking our children today.
That's right.
The pandemic is over.
The parents are done.
We're done asking you, public servants, for permission.
We are done.
You can all wear your masks.
In fact, you can wear two masks and three masks.
You can wear gloves.
You can have plexiglass.
You can do whatever you need to do to keep you safe.
But we, the parents, believe we have a choice for our children.
And I don't know who you think you are that you think that you have more of a say than us, the parents, and our doctors.
I don't know who any of you think you are.
I really don't.
It ends today.
We are declaring our freedom tonight.
We do not consent to the lies, fear-mongering, and abuse.
You all know it's abuse.
This is tyrannical leadership, poor leadership.
None of you are willing to stand up for our children.
This is why we are all here tonight, because we're fed up.
We're done asking permission.
We're done playing games.
The pandemic is over.
We are done, Andre.
We're done.
See the chairs that you're sitting in?
We own those chairs.
See these lights?
We pay for the lights.
Not you.
And I'm going to let you know.
Emily, you're up in 2022.
Greg, you're up in 2022.
Marla, you're up in 2022.
And Jodi, you're up in 2024.
I know that myself, I would love to run for school board.
And I know many, many others will come and replace all of you.
So I'm going to promise you tonight that I will campaign against you.
I will fundraise against you.
And I will make sure that none of you ever serve in a public space ever again.
The time is now.
Mama Bear!
Superb!
That's America!
I love at the back the person who's recording it saying uh-huh oh that's right it's like diamond and silk and that little girl saying uh-huh and we are coming after you.
I'm going to run for your seat.
I'm going to fundraise against you.
This is how we take America back.
Doesn't have to be big guys, doesn't have to be burly guys, doesn't have to be war fighters.
It has to be Americans who love this country and love our children and will not allow bureaucrats to steamroll us into a socialist country.
We pay for the chair you are sitting on.
The pandemic is done.
It's over.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.
This is America First on the Salem Radio Network.
He's back.
He's the one.
He's the only.
He's the Baron.
Boris Epstein here on America First on the Salem Radio Network wherever you are, whatever you're doing.
Don't touch that dial.
All right.
Mic's on.
You wanna move the, uh, MyPillow to E?
To E?
Oh!
Uh, yeah.
Uh, yeah.
That's good.
That's good.
Uh, can you grab me one of the hats that's, um, on the TV?
Yeah.
Thanks.
Um... Who should we ask for 2A tomorrow?
Oh!
Let me ask the guy, um, if Q is back.
Oh, will you ask Q, Kevin Brittingham or whatever his name is?
Yeah.
See if he's back from Africa.
Okay.
We had him on, right, a couple weeks ago?
We did?
Oh, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did, we did.
Then, no, no, no, no, no.
Who could be somebody new?
Someone we haven't had in a while, perhaps?
Well, who's that?
Maybe, like, oh, we're talking for 2A, right?
Oh, Tucker told me.
He texted me.
He said, uh, I keep doing these gum things, and people keep talking about you.
It's funny.
I guess he must be meeting some of our guests.
Oh, really?
Yeah, yeah.
I sent him the thing about Junkin.
I'd like Tucker to skewer him as well.
Oh, yeah.
That shouldn't be difficult.
What about, like, Terry Shepard?
We've been trying.
He's just like, I must be filming.
Oh, here we go.
What day is it today?
Today is the 2nd of September, Thursday.
Alright, we have a Patriot Mobile here, by the way.
- So that script that-- - I got it, yeah, yeah.
- Yeah.
- Is there anybody we haven't had in a while?
Alright, I'm gonna set him up.
Here we are.
Boris!
The Baron is in the house!
The Barone!
- Yeah, Shepard.
- Besides Shepard.
- All right, I'm gonna set him up.
- Boris! - The Baron is in the house. - The Baron.
How you doing?
I'm doing great.
How are you?
I'm good.
I've been having more cigars than I've had in a long time.
Are you still up north?
No, no, no.
I'm back.
I came back on Sunday, Saturday, Saturday, Saturday.
Yeah.
Well, having cigars is a very good thing and very smart of you.
I was having one every day.
It was naughty.
I was having two a day.
I had two last night.
Very naughty.
My wife's traveling again, so I will be having another one this evening.
Oh, nice.
Are we doing one or two?
I've got you for two if you can.
Are you traveling?
Is this your cell phone?
This is my cell phone, yes.
I can do two.
What time will we wrap?
You will wrap at 52.
Perfect.
Okay.
Stand by Baron.
You will wrap at 52.
Perfect.
Okay.
Stand by Baron.
30 seconds to go.
Coming in with anything?
Oh, and I wanna use with him again, uh, the, um, gensaki thing, but I'll tee it up.
Okay.
And then I'm gonna use cut ten again.
Uh-huh.
Anything else?
Maybe cut seven.
Wanna come in with cut seven?
No, because that's more serious.
Okay.
I'll save that for later.
Okay.
Okay, meeting mics.
You're listening to America First with Dr. G.
Amen.
You know, you would like to help your friends out.
You want to be of assistance to them, especially when they're sartorially challenged, which is not the case for the Baron.
He is always just, as we say in Hungarian, piperkőt.
It's just perfect.
The length of his double calf, the little pocket square.
But you know, sometimes you need to be casual.
Are you there, Baron?
I'm right here.
I'm right here, and I'm casual today.
I'm wearing a polo shirt, and I've already been made fun of for it, but you know what?
I am who I am, and I'm very comfortable with it.
You may be casual, but are you cool and casual, and are you America First cool and casual?
I am holding up right now the brand new America First Hoodie which, and you'll love this given the lining of your jackets, the hood is lined with the stars and stripes of the flag of this great nation.
How cool is that Boris?
I think that's very cool, and I love it.
And yes, I am cool and casual.
Some would say that I'm MAGA casual.
I like that.
We have an America First hat for you.
If you come in studio, you will be granted all of this swag.
But for those of you out there who are excited about the America First message, and thank you for the listener who said, hey, where are the hoodies on the website?
And we had a glitch and we hadn't put them up there, but they're up there right now.
Go to SebGorkerStore.com and don't forget we have everything made in America, all of it, whether it's the America First mug, whether it's the t-shirt we made to honor the president when he came on the show last week which says, If you're woke, you're a loser.
You can get them all.
Go to sebgorkastore.com.
Welcome, Boris.
Can't wait to have you back in the swamp, back in the studio.
We have some serious things to discuss.
But first, let's have a little bit of fun.
And I want to test something with you.
I think we've caught out Jen Psaki.
And I think she is a transphobe.
Cat 11, Jen Psaki.
Why does the president support abortion when his own Catholic faith teaches abortion is morally wrong?
He believes that it's a woman's right, it's a woman's body, and it's her choice.
Why does the president, who does he believe then should look out for the unborn child?
He believes that it's up to a woman to make those decisions, and up to a woman to make those decisions with her doctor.
I know you've never faced those choices, nor have you ever been pregnant.
Hang on a second.
How does she know that that man hasn't been pregnant?
Is she a transphobe baron?
See, the problem is, Sebastian, the libs are so wrapped up in their own woke nonsense, they don't know which line they're going to trip over, right?
So now Jen Psaki is attacking a man for never being pregnant.
You're right.
Maybe, you know, maybe the reporter is one of the 87,000 genders and he hasn't been pregnant.
You just never know.
Let's just go back to how awful Jen Psaki is at everything that she's done.
Literally, you know, I actually think, and I've said this yesterday on Steve Bannon's I challenge anybody, anywhere, any place, to show me a president in our history who was worse, and an administration that has been worse.
Talk about Buchanan, talk about Pierce, talk about Hoover, talk about Carter or Obama.
Nobody has come close to being as bad as Joe Biden.
And if possible, his team is even worse.
I'm going to tell you something else.
I heard today from somebody in D.C.
who shockingly has friends in the Biden administration.
They're saying that these poor people are so depressed all day, every day, just because they have to go into that administration, work for Joe Biden, work for Kamae, that the mood is very dour all day long.
How could you work for a boss who doesn't know what day it is?
How could you work for a boss in Kamala Harris who just flies off to Vietnam and laughs about dead people in Afghanistan?
But it's the alacrity.
It's the speed.
It's the alacrity of the badness.
Jimmy Carter, it took a couple of years.
This guy's done it in a couple of months, Boris.
Oh my, listen, there's a lot of things Joe Biden is very bad at.
He's good.
He's amazing at being a horrible president.
Amazing at being a horrible president.
And this guy is so feckless.
Just absolutely feckless.
And let's put out some numbers where our mouths are, right?
If you look at this, two polls came out yesterday.
Do not steal my thunder.
I have it here in my hand, right here.
You're doing a Vulcan mind meld and we're very impressed.
We're going to talk about those polls momentarily, but I love the fact that You know, as our buddy, as a guest host, you know exactly where I'm going.
We're going to talk about them.
If you haven't heard them, you need to know.
We're talking to the baron.
Follow him, BorisEP on Twitter.
He's on Getter.
He's on Instagram, Boris underscore Epstein, former strategic advisor to the Trump 2020 campaign.
My former colleague in the Trump White House, former special assistant to President Trump.
We will be back with the baron momentarily.
But first, You know what it's like right now.
We've just been discussing it.
You turn on the news and sometimes you feel hopeless.
Open borders, spending gone crazy, more madness, lockdowns, inflation, on and on and on.
But there is something you can do.
Buy from companies that believe what you and I believe in, that share your values.
You've got to stick together now more than ever, and there is a company that's been standing with you and your values since 2012.

Oh, I lost him.
Oh.
All right.
Bring them up.
There we go.
I've got the, um, the Rasmussen report.
What's the other one, Boris?
No, the two, the two lefty ones were YouGov.
It was YouGov Economist and it was Morning Consult Politico.
That's the two that came out yesterday.
Okay.
Had them upside.
I had right direction versus wrong direction.
30 points upside down.
It's staggering.
That's incredible.
Alright, in that case, I'll talk about the Rasmussen and then you'll blow us out of the water with that one, okay?
You there?
Yeah, perfect.
Okay, good.
A thousand percent, yes.
Any good smokes lately?
I had one yesterday that was like a double Corona, I think.
Slimmer, smaller.
Yeah, but it was it was really good.
And then I had another one.
That was like, that was actually on the on the other side.
What do you what's the one that's like a extra Churchill?
Oh, I know what you mean.
Like, like the Roman Juliet makes one of those.
Yeah, yeah.
Yeah.
And was it good?
It was delicious, and actually I thought about this morning that I should have sent you the wrapper.
It was delicious.
I'm impressed with the Khrushchev, that massive Khrushchev I had.
That was good.
And you know, the branding is good.
Davidoff does a good job.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
They do a nice job.
What else did I have?
Oh, you know what?
I got a new box of Trinidad.
That's killer.
Oh, yeah?
I've been hitting the Trinidad.
You know why?
Because you can smoke two, and they're a little bit lighter, and it's not so bad.
Yeah, I always have two, no matter what it is.
That's my problem.
I know.
I smoke them so fast.
Alright, we got 30 seconds.
Standing by.
Stand by.
No, I'm gonna do Rudy here.
Rudy.
Copy.
Okay, we'll do Rudy and then... Oh, actually, come in with cut ten again.
That's so good.
Come in with cut ten again.
Copy that.
Standing by.
Stand back.
From the relief factor.com studios, this is America first with Sebastian Gorka.
And, and, And so, I asked if that psalm, that hymn in the Catholic Church, and it says, May he lift you up on eagles' wings, and bear you on the breath of dawn, and let the light shine upon you, etc., and hold you in the palm of his hand.
And they played, and my mind's going blank now, what's the song that is played where everybody is on the chair, everybody, you know, I can't remember it, anyway.
And that's the song that was played.
So, you know, I don't know what the hell's going on here.
Yeah, we don't know what the hell's going on either.
That was Joe Biden today just babbling, babbling as usual.
Don't be Joe Biden.
Be a patriot.
Be a man who loves this country like Rudy Giuliani, America's mayor.
Please, if you haven't done so already, they're trying to destroy him.
Please support this man.
They're trying to bankrupt him, strip him of his law licenses.
Make a donation today at Rudy Giuliani, freedom fund dot com so you can keep on fighting and get to the bottom of what happened in last year's election.
That's Rudy Giuliani, freedom fund dot com.
Boris, I think I have to say that, don't you, where Biden says, I don't know what the hell I'm saying.
You've got to say that because it underlines exactly what Joe Biden is.
A.
A. He doesn't know anything about Catholicism because, listen, I'm about to celebrate the Jewish holidays, but I know enough about the New Testament to know that you cannot be aggressively woke, pro-abortion, pro-trans-whatever, trans-former, trans-whatever they call that thing with the different genders now.
You cannot be anti-religious and be an honest, true Catholic.
And Joe Biden, and that was an example by Psaki doing her typical horrible, I'll circle back, right?
This guy is not honest.
He's not honest about his religion.
The only thing that he's honest about is that he doesn't know anything about anything.
He's completely lost.
And it may have been funny at some point.
It's turned deadly with 13 killed American heroes, fallen Marines, at his hands.
I just love it that I have my Jewish-American friend emigrated here from Russia, speaking more truth about Catholicism on my show than Joe Biden has ever done, and that's why we're here, to push back on the problem.
Well, they call it the Judeo-Christian tradition for a reason, right?
Yeah, that's why, exactly.
We're joined in our values, we're joined in our history, we're joined in our fight for religion, for, you know, for honest, good values, and against whatever the woke nonsense.
Actually, I have to tell you the story.
I'm sitting at lunch yesterday.
Yes, I was at the Palm.
And a man walks by.
And not a skinny man, OK?
A full-on dude.
Like 5'8", maybe 280 pounds.
OK?
In a tie-dye dress.
What?
At the Palm?
At the Palm?
He didn't go into the Palm.
Walked by.
For those who know DC, I was in the front area with the windows.
Yeah, the covered area up front.
I was power lunching.
I had a power lunch.
Not right under the picture of myself on the wall, but right next to it.
And then I look out and here's a full-on dude.
In a tie-dye dress.
That was very, very funny.
Did you lose your appetite?
I have to ask.
Did you lose your appetite?
Well, you know, for those in the audience who've seen me, I think it's very clear that it takes a lot for me to lose my appetite.
No, I spit on the floor and then I finish my lunch.
Oh my gosh.
But no, this is what the Democrats have become.
This is what the woke liberals have become.
And that's why they're now a marginalized party.
American people aren't with that.
They're not supporting that.
And the polls are turning that out.
All right, let's talk about that.
So I have in front of me a report from our buddy Paul Bedard that Rasmussen Reports found a survey that 52 percent, Boris, 52 percent of Americans want Biden to withdraw just because of his handling of Kabul.
Boris?
Yeah, I would say that 52% is actually lower.
The polling that came out yesterday from the left, Sebastian, from the left, YouGov Economist, Morning Consult Politico, the twin polls, long polls, the YouGov Economist poll had a 1,500 person sample.
So a little bit inside baseball, that's a huge sample.
Usually you're looking at 700, 800 people.
1,500 Americans sampled, right track, wrong track.
upside down by 30 points.
30% more people thought, not 30% difference, but 30% more people thought that we're going on the wrong track than the right track.
That is staggering.
I'm surprised they published it, Boris.
And they published the crosstabs, which is very unusual now because usually these lefties, they hide the background information.
29, 58.
29 right direction, 58 wrong direction, and the usual 13% unsure.
Okay, hang on, hang on, hang on.
Who are the 29%?
Who is the 29% of Americans who think we're going in the right direction?
Maybe people haven't seen the news in the last couple of weeks.
Yes.
Here's the interesting part, and real clear politics have been talking about this.
And as somebody who's studied this for a long time, you know this, I know this, you know, a lot of presidents and political leaders, they have a built-in base, right?
Obama had a base.
Yes.
President Trump, unbelievably, has a huge MAGA base.
Joe Biden's got no base.
Nobody wakes up in the morning, you know, puts on their clothes, shaves, looks in the mirror, gets ready, you know, puts on their makeup, whatever they do or whatever she or she are doing.
It says, I love Joe Biden.
He's got nobody like that.
And that is going to cause, I think, his approval rating is going to dip into the 20s, if not below.
He's going to be at Nancy Pelosi levels.
But what happens then?
What happens then?
Because it looks right now that Nancy's, you know, they're pulling ranks, they're staying tight together, AOC's defending him.
Is there some point at which they pull the pin on this guy?
I think they have.
Here's the problem, and this was said very smartly.
I think Tom Del Macaro actually said this out of California.
I heard him on the radio.
He said that Kamala Harris is Joe Biden's job security.
Because everybody hates Kamala Harris so much, and because she has absolutely no adult skills.
They're actually a little hesitant to pull the plug on Biden, because then you get somebody who, she has maybe more of her faculties, even though I don't know if that spontaneous laughing about our fallen Marines, I'm not sure, but she's absolutely despised and finished, what, 21st out of 22 candidates in the 2020 primary?
So they've got a real problem on their hands.
I think the most disliked I mean, I challenge our listeners.
Is there a more unpopular, less successful president than the current one?
And is there a president-VP pairing that is worse than this one?
It's hard to imagine that there has been in the history of the republic.
He's the Baron.
Follow him, BorisEP, on Twitter, on Instagram, on Getter, Boris underscore Epstein.
I'm Sebastian Gawker.

Here's the delightful story from the UK.
All right, let's hear it.
Former Manchester Labour councillor, so he's a lefty, Carl Ollerhead, who said that males have a right to access women's and girls' toilets, has just been charged with indecently assaulting a girl under the age of 16.
I mean, but they say it's a conspiracy theory to suggest that, you know, people behind the trans agenda are secretly pedophiles.
No way.
Or that you would support it being, you know, from a pedophilic persuasion of sorts.
Right, right, right.
Do I have media today?
Um... No.
Today's Thursday, so no.
Okay, good.
I have to pick up Katie.
Okay.
Tara Dahl, a friend of mine, has a podcast.
She's going to be emailing you, Eric.
T-E-R-A, Tara.
And just find a time to do that interview with her.
Okay.
And yeah, I've got a couple of requests here.
I'll go over them with you.
Related, of course, to the upcoming anniversary.
All right.
Are we coming in with anything?
And you said you wanted to do the MyPillow here?
And I'm gonna do a collar drop to start.
Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Alright.
That's how we do it.
Rolling through the day.
Yep.
This time tomorrow I'll be laying up.
What time is it?
I gotta get up at 5.
Surgery's at like 7, I think.
No dinner for you tonight.
No dinner for me.
Alright, well I'll mute the mics and we'll get ready to get this thing going.
Copy that.
Hello, General Gorka.
I I was not a general ever.
I played at soldiers in the British reserves, but thank you for the endorsement.
Dr. Sebastian Gorka.
Who the hell do they think they are?
Excuse my French.
The CDC is now saying if you're not vaccinated you shouldn't travel on Labor Day weekend.
Sorry?
What?
Who do you think you are?
How many reports do we have to have, not only of people spreading the virus who are vaccinated, spreading it, but catching the virus who've been vaccinated.
But you say we who are unvaccinated don't get to travel.
Go to hell on the donkey you rode in on.
Thank you very much.
But it's not just here.
I used to think Australia was cool.
This is the Today Show, and this is what they want to do in Australia.
It really is.
It's like that Philip K. Dick, you know, Minority Report situation.
Play cut.
Cut five.
A radical plan to crack down on social media abuse is being considered by the federal government.
For more, Nine's Oliver Haig joins us live in Adelaide.
Oli, how will it work?
Layla, good morning.
Essentially it will work the same as a passport.
Australians forced to submit 100 points of identification like their driver's license or passport when using social media accounts like Facebook and Twitter.
Now police would have access to those social media accounts and it's all part of a crackdown on online abuse.
Now users could be liable for defamation suits or even criminal prosecution and it's all part of a plan hoping to deter people from engaging in bad behavior.
Now, the recommendations were handed down by a federal parliamentary inquiry.
There are reforms that are being considered by the Morrison government, with the chairman saying there is merit to remove the veil of being anonymous.
So, do you understand where this comes from?
The so-called social credit system in communist China.
This is Australia, a free country, allegedly, actually copying the systems put in place now in communist China.
To stop you doing what?
Oh, from being abusive.
I wonder, question here, who's going to define abusive?
Is it going to be conservatives?
Is it going to be people who love the country?
Or is it going to be crazy leftist radicals who think there are 112 genders?
Yes, I think you understand.
Okay, it's breaking news.
Late last night, President Trump has endorsed veteran army Senate candidate Sean Parnell and he is going to join us for the whole next hour to talk about what happened in Kabul, what is going on across the world, the threat to America and why we need more people who aren't politicians to come to the swamp And be more like my old boss Donald Trump.

Welcome, dear friends, to America First with me, Sebastian Gorka, former strategist of President Trump, member currently of the National Security Education Board at the Pentagon, and host of Salem's national radio show, America First.
But this is One on One, where we have the opportunity to talk to some special guests for the whole hour, and then to drill down deep on the issues of the day.
If you're not familiar with it, subscribe, tell your friends, give us a review, because we need to get the truth out.
Today, uninterrupted, we are going to discuss the matters that sadly our nation is focused on today with somebody Who knows them viscerate?
Who understands them?
A decorated combat veteran who says it's not enough to serve his nation in uniform.
Now he's running for Senate office.
Sean Parnell, welcome to America First One-on-One.
Thanks for having me, Sebastian.
It's great to be here.
For those who haven't, you've been, you know, you opened the faucet in the last two weeks and Sean Parnell has been flowing out of it, telling the truth about Afghanistan, about lack of leadership, the strategic threat.
For those who've been under a rock for a couple of weeks or months, let's start by getting to know you a little better.
Who is Sean Parnell?
Where did he come from?
Where did he hail from?
And what have you been doing until you decided to run for the Senate in Pennsylvania?
Yeah, so I'm just a middle-class kid from Western Pennsylvania, and I think my family's been from Pittsburgh for like a hundred years.
You know, my family's been around there.
I was an elementary education major at Clarion University, trying to figure out what I was going to do with my life.
I remember waking up with a hangover, laying flat on my back on this rundown couch, looked around, seeing my college apartment surrounded by beer cans, staggered over to the television set, and I turned it on and watched it flicker to life just in time to see an airplane crash into the World Trade Center.
America had been attacked.
And as a sophomore, I just felt like how could I sit here and do nothing when ordinary American citizens are giving everything and sacrificing everything for people that they had never met before in their life.
Like anybody who lived through 9-11, I was angry.
I was also scared, right?
But two days after 9-11, I went to the recruiter and told him that I wanted to join the military and not just that.
I wanted to be in the infantry so I could be on the front lines and then go to airborne school and then ranger school.
I wanted to be the best leader that I could for my troops.
Eventually had an opportunity two years later after I graduated from college.
I mean literally, college kid to combat leader in two years.
Found myself on the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan with a mission of find Osama Bin Laden.
So who were you serving with?
What was your MOS?
Talk to us about your military career, Sean.
Yeah, so I was an infantry officer.
My MOS was 11 Alpha.
And I served in the 10th Mountain Division up at Fort Drum, New York.
So anybody that's watching this knows, you know, there's two seasons there, July and winter.
Yeah, but I took an infantry platoon in a 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment in Bravo Company, 3rd Platoon, a platoon that was nicknamed the Outlaws.
And in fact, that's the title of my book is Outlaw Platoon.
And it's literally just their story, their time and 485 days of combat along the Afghan-Pakistan border.
And I got to my unit in 2005.
And back then, we knew that we were going to Afghanistan, but that's really all we knew.
And intelligence from the front was very scarce.
In fact, if you remember, the eyes of the nation were wholeheartedly fixated on the Iraq War at the time.
Remember the debate over weapons of mass destruction?
And then the buzzwords, the surge, you remember that, right?
Like, should George W. Bush send more troops to the Iraq war in a war that he was losing anyway?
That was the debate on Capitol Hill.
So we thought that the Afghan war was just going to be a stability and support operation.
And so we trained, we did everything that we could to shoot, move and communicate together as a team.
Because as one of my non-commissioned officers told me, sir, we've got to learn to work together.
Because when that first bullet cracks by your head, the individual doesn't matter anymore.
The only thing that matters is this team.
And we're only going to be as fast or as good as our slowest person.
And so we did everything we could to be an effective fighting force.
And we got our chance to do some fighting in 2006 along the border of Afghanistan and Pakistan, that's for sure.
So let me, I've not served in the U.S.
military.
I've trained and educated thousands of members of the various services.
You name a service, I've worked with them.
I was a DOD civilian and strategist in the White House.
I did serve in the British Territorial Army.
But let me give you my take and tell me what's missing and whether it's wrong.
The last 20 years saw amazing operations in October of 2001.
The hunt for UBL, the hunt for the AQ training camps in Afghanistan, the removal of the Taliban regime with the leverage of 20-odd thousand Northern Alliance fighters was textbook IW.
It was irregular warfare of the most exquisite variety.
Then we saw Mission Creed, the likes of which we've never seen before, the attempt to nation-build in a part of the world where a nation has never existed, tried to create a homogenous Afghanistan that Alexander the Great, the Soviets and the British failed to do.
And then the most egregious of all is every six months or every 10 months, a shifting of the goalposts where the Pentagon, the political leadership would say, now we're doing this.
Now we're doing something else.
It's coin, it's nation building, it's surgical strike, which is like trying to play football.
And then every 15 minutes, they change the rules of the game.
And then we have two days ago, three days ago, the CENTCOM commander Stunningly, stunningly in uniform, declare the war over.
And in my study of war for the last 3,000 years, wars have only ended when you are defeated or you defeat the enemy or they surrender.
Neither of those things occurred in this case.
Am I missing anything, Sean?
Fill out the picture from the point of view of an operator who was in theatre.
No, you're absolutely right.
Gosh, you hit it spot on.
There are so many angles to this.
Where do you jump in?
I will tell you that in 2006, our mission was strictly a counter-terror mission.
In other words, find the enemy, fix them, destroy them.
In doing so, you would protect and secure the Afghan people.
And so for 485 days, now, by the way, by the way, we only were supposed to be in Afghanistan for a year.
So all the while we were hunting the enemy and what we thought was going to be a 12 month deployment.
And we killed over 350 enemy fighters.
Now, these were enemy fighters from the Akhani network, which you now see in Kabul.
Hekmatyar, which you now see in Kabul.
Al-Qaeda and the Taliban, also all interwoven in this sort of interim government in Kabul right now.
We fought all of them, Sebastian.
And we were very effective at it.
And so at the tail end of our deployment, and we had almost been overrun Multiple times.
I mean, one of the things that we found in Afghanistan was that we were not facing a ragtag insurgency group of farmers, right?
These were hardened warriors who had fought in the Afghan civil war in the 90s against the Russians in the 80s, even before that.
And then they're fighting against us in a post 9-11 world.
I mean, the average 18-year-old private, right?
In the American military, we've got the best equipment, the best gear, and some of the best training in the world.
But the guys that we were fighting, these guys had 10 years combat experience on any of my guys.
And so they knew what they were doing.
So I'm telling you all this to say we were in heavy combat with the enemy, hundreds of firefights every day, 485 days of combat.
Our base took thousands of indirect fire attacks, rockets, mortars.
And so we were very effective at going after the enemy, find, fix, finish, close with, and destroy, right?
And then at the tail end of our deployment, we shifted.
And I was on the battlefield during this shift, where we made the shift from counter-terror to counter-insurgency.
In fact, my unit built the very first combat outpost.
Now, these combat outposts were intended to, like, put every American in a village, right?
That was the basis of the coin.
Live among the people and help them secure their property.
Is this the same as the FOBs, the Forward Operating Bases, or is this something different, Sean?
You're a little bit different.
These were small offshoot bases that were attached to FOBs, right?
Or that FOBs could support.
So essentially it could be manned by a single platoon.
Wow.
And so the point was, is to build all these little combat outposts and villages all along the Afghan-Pakistan border.
And essentially move from a counter-terrorist strategy to a coin strategy.
In our base, right, we had a bunch of combat engineers come out and build our base.
We were building a base in probably the most dangerous place in Afghanistan, and the engineers who were building our base left because it was so dangerous.
We were left there in January of 2007 in a half-filled base and a combat outpost in one of the most dangerous places on the planet.
Where is that?
In a place called Marga.
Combat Outpost Marga.
Okay, so let me run something past you, Sean.
And again, I want you to be my sanity check, as a guy who's been teaching COIN and IW and CT for decades now, for the US and her partners.
I identified a little dirty secret that nobody wanted to admit here in Washington.
Not Petraeus, not McChrystal, not the Secretary of Defense.
Nobody wanted to admit.
And I looked at the history of counterinsurgency.
The British, the French, Indochina, Northern Ireland, Mao Mao rebellion, you name it.
And I found this interesting commonality.
Counterinsurgency, meaning when you are whacking insurgents and when you are helping another nation to do it, host nation support, like the Afghans or the Iraqis, there's two things you need.
And these are non-negotiable requirements for the coin mission to function.
Number one, the guys you are helping Whether it is a government in Africa or whether it is the post-Saddam Iraq government or the Karzai government in Afghanistan.
Doesn't need to be perfect, because no government is perfect, but must be deemed by a sizable chunk of the population to be kind of legitimate.
Not utterly, completely corrupt.
So there must be, like in Colombia, most Colombians must think You know, they're corrupt in Bogota, but they're not too corrupt, number one.
Second, the forces you're assisting, the ANSF, the Afghan National Security Forces, the Iraqis, whatever, must be able to absorb your training.
They must be able to actually fight better after you train them.
My time in Afghanistan as a civilian in 06, I found out for myself, 40% of the guys we trained at the academy we created in Kabul, after the last per diem was paid in cash, disappeared back to their tribal areas.
We trained the bad guys how to fight.
So, as far as I'm concerned, those two conditions, relatively legitimate governments and capacity for the host nation forces to absorb our assistance, simply were not there in Afghanistan.
Am I crazy, Sean?
No, you're not crazy.
You're exactly right.
And the basic premise of counterinsurgency, as you said, is you need a host nation, right?
And a nation, a superpower, needs to be able to come in and help that host nation effectively govern and secure its people, right?
That's the premise of the entire strategy.
But here's the problem.
In Afghanistan, it is barely considered a nation, let alone one that can host another.
So it's strictly tribal in nature.
In fact, a lot of people think that That the country is overwhelmed with Islamic jihadists, it's just simply not true.
In the border regions, they were just introduced to Islam 50 years before we were even in Afghanistan.
But so I'm saying, so when we built all those combat outposts, Sebastian, we were attacked on the first night that we were there by a group of over 300 people, right?
Now, we knew that they were coming because we had so much combat experience, we ended up killing all of those people that tried to attack us.
But I'm telling you this because in years after we were there, a lot of other combat outposts were built in Afghanistan.
It was essentially sort of like the Maginot Line 2.0.
And we relegated ourselves to static positions all along the border, right?
And that allowed the enemy to move from Pakistan across the border region and into the heart of Afghanistan, into places like Kabul.
And then, once they were there and entrenched, we couldn't tell the difference between enemy and ally, and we lost the initiative.
We lost the initiative in 2008, in that war, when we switched to coin.
You're doing a Vulcan mind meld with me.
You're about to ask the question I wanted to ask you.
Talk to us about the role of Pakistan.
The idea that they were acting in good faith, they were a partner in the region when UBL's hiding out next to their West Point.
Talk to us about how much of a problem Pakistan was to affect your mission in theatre, Sean.
Yeah, well, if a problem is considered them shooting at you directly every day, then yeah, they were a pretty big problem for us.
We worked along the Afghan-Pakistan border, as I mentioned, with the Frontier Corps, what they call the Pakistani Frontier Corps.
Right.
which was a subsidiary of the Northwest Frontier Corps.
Now, back then, the history there is one British officer with a platoon or company's worth of Pakistani military regulars, right?
But what we were dealing with today was just the Frontier Corps.
So one PACMIL regular officer with like this band of heathens that lived all along the Afghan-Pakistan border, You know where their allegiances lie.
In fact, they knew a lot of the insurgents that were conducting cross-border attacks on us.
And literally every single time we did a combat operations along the Pak border, they shot at us.
And so we had to deal with them on the ground and the Pakistani ISI, which is basically like their version of the CIA.
And we had to deal with their intel operatives every single day.
And so when I talk about the issue of the United States and our relationship geopolitically with Pakistan, It seems to be one that's just on paper or maybe one that's honored just among the politicians in that country.
Because on the ground and on the border, they are certainly not our friend.
That is for sure.
And the idea that the White House is trying to pitch now for two weeks nonstop that, oh, this isn't the Taliban we were fighting.
This is 2.0 and they love women and homosexuals and they're going to be inclusive and blah, blah, blah.
Talk to us about that, Sean.
I get so frustrated with that because the Taliban, these are the same guys that harbored 9-11, that helped facilitate, or that harbored Al-Qaeda, who attacked us on 9-11.
These are the same people that have been attacking us for 20 years and killing Americans.
These are the same people who, over the last two weeks, Stopped Americans from getting to the airport so that they could evacuate safely 100% guarantee you they're working with other terrorist groups on the ground like the economy while the economy network has woven into the upper echelons of their command They're working with this Isis K. They're working with them on the ground heck.
They released all the prisoners from prison so Um, they're not an organization that can be trusted.
And when Joe Biden came out, said that, Oh, hey, man, these guys, they're just like us.
They care about the economy and putting food on the table and climate change.
I just had to laugh because it's like, Can you imagine a group of these dudes sitting around in a cave talking about how best to decrease their carbon footprint?
The whole notion of it is just absurd.
It's insane.
It's a slap in the face to anybody that served there or lost loved ones there.
It's truly a bad joke.
Last week, President Trump was on our show, America First, and I want to now broaden the discussion beyond Afghanistan, Pakistan in the last two weeks and talk about the military that you served in.
This is what he had to say about political correctness and wokeness and the U.S.
military.
This is Cut 11.
President Trump on America First.
Play Cut.
You know, you talk about the greatest military, but take a look at what happened in Afghanistan.
I mean, we beat the Nazis, but look at this.
We're being sent out of Afghanistan.
And frankly, the August 31st aid is not being lengthened because they're not allowing him to do it.
It's not because of him.
It's because they're not allowing him any more time.
Whoever thought this was possible?
So with this woke culture, our military is going to be a loser and the whole country is going to be a loser.
Talk to us, Sean, now that you're running for the Senate out of Pennsylvania.
You've decided to serve as a civilian after your time in the U.S.
military.
Is this one of the missions you're going to prescribe for yourself?
How concerned are you, given the decisions made in the last few months in America about the politicization of the U.S.
military?
Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
This is an issue that's a vast import for me, particularly all of the woke generals and the lack of focus on the contemporary threats that we face today.
So, and I'll just give you a sense of one example of what I mean by that.
As you mentioned, so articulately moving into this conversation, we've been focused on an asymmetric threat in Afghanistan and Iraq, counterinsurgency operations.
In fact, we've evolved our force into brigade combat teams to combat that threat.
But the United States military right now needs to evolve to, and quite rapidly I would say, to face a very conventional threat.
And what I mean by that is we are wholly unequipped to face the communist Chinese military.
And we need to focus on evolving our force to meet that threat, right?
And what I've been saying, I said this I think a couple of months ago, when you see guys like the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs talking about Uh, critical race theory and white rage and Secretary of Defense doing safety standouts for diversity and equity training or, you know, the intelligence community tapping into Tucker Carlson's phone, but they didn't even really know that the Taliban was an impending threat in Afghanistan.
All of these things, any time that you are not singularly focused on the missions and the threat that the threats that we as Americans face every single day, You put American lives at risk, right?
And tragically, I think that's part of the reason why People lost their lives during this botched withdrawal from Afghanistan because we just simply weren't focused on it.
And on Tuesday, when the man who bears the title President in a very, very angry address to the nation says, it's time to come home.
We've won this war and we have to focus on the domestic threats.
I guess people wearing red hats would say make America great again.
How concerned does that make you to hear that from a man just over a couple of days before the 20th anniversary of September the 11th, Sean?
It's very concerning to me.
And you know, he came out there and gave a speech to the nation.
And it was this eclectic, odd mix of sort of yelling and whispering.
And he said that it was an extraordinary success.
13 Americans lost their lives.
Can you imagine being a Gold Star family and watching that?
We left Americans behind.
We left our allies behind.
And then, here's the thing that really blew me away, right?
He's out there saying it's an extraordinary success, and then in the very next breath, he blames President Trump.
He blames the Afghan people.
He blames Americans for not getting to the airport on time.
So if it was an extraordinary success, as he said, would he have to blame anybody?
And what is the solution?
What is your message?
God willing, you get into the Senate.
What is your message right now to your brothers in arms who are still in the Brotherhood, still deployed, or those who lost limbs and bled for this nation in the last 20 years, Sean?
Yeah, listen, at our core, we are liberators and we are protectors, right?
We are part of the greatest, most lethal, but also benevolent force, military force the world has ever known.
You are part of that brotherhood and sisterhood.
You need to be proud of your service.
You know, serving for the man and woman next to you.
And the future is very bright because we have elections every two years in this country.
And I'll tell you right now, one of the things that I think 2022 is going to be an incredible year for us in a lot of ways.
And I think there are hundreds of thousands of independents that maybe pulled the lever for Joe Biden, thinking he was going to be old Scranton Joe, moderate, unifier.
Clearly, right in the first eight months of his presidency, we see that that is not the case.
In fact, he has tracked hard left.
And one of the things that I hear all the time, Sebastian, and this is from independents and moderate Democrats in Pennsylvania, many people wonder if Joe Biden's running the show.
I think you and I would say clearly he's not.
But I think that there are millions of people in this country who, when he addressed the nation and said, and after he talked, said, I've got a list of reporters I'm supposed to call on.
A lightbulb went off for a lot of people.
I've been instructed.
I've been instructed to call upon.
That's the shocking language.
Who's instructing the man who can launch our nuclear weapons as to who he's allowed to talk to?
We're talking to Sean Parnell.
Follow him right now on Twitter, Sean Parnell USA.
Sean is the author of numerous works Fact and fiction.
Outlaw Platoon is the book you've got to read about his experience in Afghanistan on the AfPak border.
Also, he's got a brand new fiction book coming out next week, which...
Couldn't think of a more apposite title, sadly.
Left 4 Dead.
Sean, everybody needs to follow you.
It needs to support you.
The website is Parnell4Senate.com.
That's Parnell4Senate.com.
Walk us through the decision.
Why did you decide that, you know, it's time to serve again?
Explain to us why you've taken this monumental decision, given what we witnessed them do to President Trump for the last four years.
Yeah, well, so that's exactly why, right?
This country, I think now more than ever, needs more leaders and fewer politicians.
And to me, that's what President Trump represented.
And one of the things that I appreciated about him the most was his ability to sort of resist groupthink.
You know, at any given time in Washington, the Republicans disliked him, the Democrats disliked him, but... We had a saying in the White House for that.
He said, he didn't see a sacred cow he didn't like to slaughter.
When a general, especially when a general did this, this would make him nuts, when a general came into his office to brief him on something like the defense of, you know, South Korea or Taiwan or whatever NATO issues, and the president said, Why are we doing it this way?
And the General would say, because we've been doing it like that for 20 years, Mr. President.
That's when you would see a very angry Commander-in-Chief, because he'd say, what?
What do you mean?
That's not a reason?
Just because we've been doing it like that for 20 years?
Sorry, carry on, Sean.
I wanted to share that.
Look, he did what he promised the American people that he would do.
And I have an unbelievable amount of respect for any leader that holds true to their word.
And I'm not running because I'm a constitutional conservative, right?
I took a note to protect and defend the Constitution.
My loyalty is to that.
And if that means that I've got to stand up to the Republican Party when our party is wrong, and guess what?
Our party is wrong a lot, right?
If that means I've got to stand up to the Republican Party, I will.
And I'm definitely not afraid to lock horns with the radical left and not relent.
And I think that's the number one quality that our voters want, right?
And that independents want, is someone that is willing to not back down and fight for their values, right?
And so I got in this fight, Because, you know, I'm in it for one reason and one reason only, to protect and preserve the American way of life and the American dream.
Like, I think we have a duty and obligation as Americans to pass down to the next generation a country that is free and rich with opportunity.
And the first time in my life, I'm not sure that that's going to happen, because the radical Democrats in Washington are destroying all of the fundamentals that help us build and live the American dream.
And we need more leaders that are unafraid to stand up to the to the radicalism and say, no, this is a line you will not cross.
And so, you know, to me, this is about service to the people first, last and always.
I'm not a career politician.
You know, I'll probably go down to Washington for maybe one or two terms, do everything that I can to shrink the size and scope of the federal government because I believe that there's a direct correlation between a small federal government and more freedom in your life.
And then I will buy a farm in Western Pennsylvania and probably never talk to anybody again.
That's my mission, is to serve the people and to represent this state.
Sounds like a plan.

You mentioned, Sean, the establishment GOP or the people that you may disagree with on your side of the aisle.
In your estimation, how much of an obstruction is the establishment on Now, the left's going to be crazy.
The left's doing the thing they do.
Nancy Pelosi refused on Tuesday, refused to allow members of the House to read the names of the 13 killed in Kabul.
That's what the Democrat Party... That's not AOC.
That's not Bernie.
That's the Speaker of the House.
So we understand who they are.
In your estimation, how much are you stimulated?
Are you encouraged to do what you do?
Because you see this Weakness on our side, Sean.
Yeah, you know, one of the things that frustrates me the most with the Republican Party is that we don't always stand together, you know.
The Democrats, it doesn't matter how radical a position is, and I'll use defund the police as an example.
If you told me four years ago, That a main policy objective of the new Democrat Party was to defund the police and this anti-police rhetoric.
And by the way, you're seeing the deadly consequences of that in almost every major city in the country.
Philadelphia right now, in Pennsylvania, is the murder capital of America right now.
And I believe that it's because of the anti-police rhetoric of the Democrat Party But it doesn't matter how radical they are.
They all circle their wagons and they stand together.
And what frustrates me sometimes about the establishment or career politicians is that They allow our party to be fractured, when in reality we should be standing together and fighting against the radical left because a house that's divided against itself can't stand.
And the radical left knows that, and they almost rely on the Republican Party falling apart and attacking one another in times of crisis.
And that's one of the things that I seek to change.
Right?
Like, let's stand together.
Let's fight to preserve this country.
And let's fight as a team, just like we did in Afghanistan.
Because if we let our petty differences in Afghanistan divide our platoon, I would not be on your show today.
I would have died over there somewhere.
And so, we've got to fight together here in this country to save this great country.

Sean, let me ask you specifically, because we are broadcasting across the nation that Talk to the people of Pennsylvania, because you're running for Senate.
It's ParnellForSenate.com from the state of Pennsylvania.
Your family's hailed from Pennsylvania for generations.
What are you going to do differently?
What does Pennsylvania need from D.C.? ?
Well, I'll tell you right now.
One of the first votes that I take when I get into the United States Senate is to ban critical race theory in our schools and in our military.
You know, I'm always going to protect the Second Amendment, shall not be infringed, is something that's very clear to me, and I think every American family deserves To be able to protect themselves and their family any way that they see fit.
Obviously, I'm a big supporter of our military and our veterans.
I will never let the radical left defund the police.
We're going to secure the border.
We're going to ban sanctuary cities.
I stand opposed to vaccine mandates.
If you want the vaccine, by all means, consult with your doctor and get the vaccine, but let no government mandate it.
I'm for school choice and allowing people to choose a school that best suits the needs of their child.
Bottom line is, Sebastian, the more freedom that we have in our lives to chart our own path, and that means life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness for anybody in this country, the better off we are as a country.
And that's my mission, and that's what I'm going to do for every Pennsylvanian.
Your message to those who think that things are so bad, Covid, the economy, that it's government's job to provide that safety net, to help them to send those checks.
What's your answer to those who think your government is here to help?
Yeah, listen, it's always darkest before the dawn.
Keep the faith.
Stay in the fight.
I need you, right?
If you want to get involved in saving this country, in fact, I'll tell you what.
Everywhere I go, I hear from people that are like, but what can I do?
Just me.
I'm just one person.
One person can change the world.
Volunteer in your area.
Organize.
Bring people together.
Because you know what?
The radical left, they don't stop organizing.
We have to organize and we have to fight just as tough as they do.
And so, get involved in my platoon.
Volunteer.
We'd love to have you.
And get in the trenches with us and let's fight to save this country together and just keep the faith.
And when it comes to the events of the last few days, the last few weeks, your reaction as somebody who's, I'm sure, seen people die right next to you in theatre, who served in Afghanistan.
What is your response to those flag officers, those politicians who say the war is over, that they've declared an end to this war three days ago?
Every general officer that oversaw the withdrawal of Afghanistan should be ashamed of themselves.
We didn't get driven out of Afghanistan by a superior military force.
We didn't get run out of town by an army that was bigger and stronger than ours.
We got run out of town by the Taliban.
We don't take orders or dictates or mandates from the Taliban.
And so for me, I ask myself every day, why does the Secretary of Defense still have a job?
Why does the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs still have a job?
Why does this Jake Sullivan kid still have a job?
Why does Secretary of State Blinken still have a job?
They fail.
It's not like leaving Afghanistan was going to be a secret.
We knew for a long time we were going to be leaving Afghanistan.
So what were they doing?
What was the Biden administration doing for the last eight months to make sure that we were singularly focused on that mission and to make sure that our country could successfully retrograde, get our people, our allies and our soldiers out of there without loss of life?
And when you hear somebody like General Milley say that I want to study white rage and CRT being taught at West Point is fine.
Or you hear an Anthony Blinken say the State Department's international priority is to fight white supremacy.
How do you react?
It's insane because you only have so many hours of the day to be a leader in the military.
You don't join the army and raise your right hand, take a note to protect and defend this country, and then become an officer unless you're willing to lay down your life for your troops, right?
That's it.
Any distraction from that mission, right, and accomplishing the mission and bringing your people home safe risks getting people killed.
And General Milley, Chairman of Joint Chiefs, Secretary of Defense Austin, As long as they're out there focusing on white rage and critical race theory, they're putting America's sons and daughters at risk.
And I got a real problem with that because they are our most precious natural resource.
They're the best of us.
These are the people that raise the right hand, volunteer to serve this country, and know that they're going into the fight.
We need to be careful with America's sons and daughters, and as long as our general officers and our flag officers are focused on things other than bringing them home safe, they're not doing their job.
